But Freddy Bayliss, the leader of the younger crowd, said that, to him, it did not matter what Maddox said in the Wilderness, so long as he stayed there. It was Bayliss who christened him "the Voice." Until the Voice came to Glen Cove all that troubled Jeanne was that her pony had sprained a tendon, and that in the mixed doubles her eye was off the ball.
Into those prisons the moon shone, and the prisoners crept to the windows and looked out with mournful eyes at the white globe which betrayed no secrets and comprehended all. Perhaps even in people like Mrs. Royce and his brother Bayliss there was something of this sort but that was a shuddery thought.
"Bayliss will never get over that," was Claude's only comment. "He don't have to!" Leonard threw up his head. "I'm a good customer; he can like it or lump it, till the price of binding twine goes down!" For the next few minutes the driver was occupied with trying to get up a long, rough hill on high gear.
Bayliss was thin and dyspeptic, and a virulent Prohibitionist; he would have liked to regulate everybody's diet by his own feeble constitution. Even Mrs. Wheeler, who took the men God had apportioned her for granted, wondered how Bayliss and his father could go off to conventions together and have a good time, since their ideas of what made a good time were so different. Once every few years, Mr.
"Oh, she comes every day to ask about you," she said. "And Doctor Bayliss comes too. He's been real kind." "Bayliss!" I exclaimed. "Is he with Does he come here?"

"I don't know," I answered, curtly.
The sealed packet, placed in this casket with the pearls afore-said, contains a letter for her own personal and private perusal, and other matter which concerns herself alone." Mr. Bayliss here looked up, and addressed her. "From these words it is evident that the sealed packet you have there is an affair of confidence." She laid her hand upon it. "I quite understand!"
They received a prompt reply, purporting to come from Bayliss, informing them that their daughters were still living where they left them. He would see them, he said, by the time he received their next letter, which he hoped would be soon, that he might be the happy bearer of glad news to the children from their father and mother.
I told him that the gentleman had arrived the same evening as I. Whereupon he produced a list of guests at all the prominent hotels. Herbert Bayliss was registered at the Continental. To the Continental I went and made inquiries of the concierge there. Mr. Bayliss was there, he was in his room, so the concierge believed. He would be pleased to ascertain. Would I give my name?
And now, with a father's blessing and the remains of a father's savings, the boy was setting out for the New World, where dollar-bills grew on trees and no one asked or cared who any one else's father might be. There was a lump in her throat. Bayliss would have been amazed if he could have known what a figure of pathetic fineness he seemed to her.
Bayliss, as there's lots o' things to see to, an' 'e left you this little note" here Priscilla produced a small neatly folded paper from her apron pocke-t-"an' sez 'e 'Give this to Miss Innocent` 'e sez, 'an' she won't mind my bein' out o' the way it'll be better for 'er to be quiet a bit with you' an' so it will, lovey, for sometimes a man about the 'ouse is a worrit an' a burden, say what we will, an' good though 'e be."
