"I would I might," the young man began, eagerly, then suddenly checked himself and added, "might assist you in some way regarding your other troubles." Again he had been on the point of declaring himself, but told himself that the moment was not a propitious one. "I am afraid it is too late for that," she responded, with a sigh; "the case is settled, and Mr. Bently's relatives have won.
I could get over every thing else, but the bad taste of proving a sneak, and giving up every thing worth while." Somebody threw in a quotation from Browning's Lost Leader, and then Grant Herman, trying to turn the conversation, took up Bently's remark. "You're right, Tom," he said, "in your view of taste. Taste is sublimated morality.
Alec lingered to help collect the hymn-books, and when he passed into the vestibule he heard voices on the outer steps. One of them sounded like Ralph Bently's. "Oh, maybe so!" it exclaimed, with a disagreeable little laugh; "but it's queer how money will stick to some people's fingers."
His opinion on the purely legal question of his own guilt was not of much value. Anyhow, his subsequent plea of not guilty to the indictment neutralizes the significance of the original plea." There was a murmur of surprise and admiration from Bently's companions. "That's true, too!" declared the salesman. "I never thought of that! You're some talker you are, I must say!
I bathed and bound up Bently's wound, and he lay himself upon the lounge in my dining-room, and being weak from the loss of blood, soon dropped off to sleep. We were too frightened to lie down. Thirty minutes elapsed. We heard the sound of footsteps approaching; the door received a vigorous kick. "Hello!" came from without. "Say Peterson! Don't be afraid; this is McGinn!"
It is possible that had he waited to read Fred Rangely's criticism upon his America which appeared in the Daily Observer next morning he might never have made this contribution toward paying his father's debts. With Bently's help Rangely had discovered the original of the statue, and had then written a careful comparison between the work of Eutychides and that of Stanton.
He usually exhibited in a high degree the hospitality characteristic of these mountaineers, but now it had given way to a still stronger instinct. "Si," he said, coming suddenly upon the boy, "put out right now fur Bently's store at the settlemint, an' tell them sneaks ez hang round thar ter sarch round thar own houses fur harnts, ef they hanker ter see enny harnts.
"Vell, let's understand vat we're doin'," admonished the foreman. "Do you gen'l'muns all understand that we're tryin' to convict this feller for doctoring a horse without a prescription?" "You mean a license, don't you?" inquired Bently. "Sure a license. All right! Let's get a vote." The first ballot resulted in seven for acquittal, four for conviction, and one blank Bently's.
Bently's elegant and respectable parlor, the "angel" he worshipped "explained how she was situated," and from a "sense of duty" stated her purpose to yield to the wishes of her friends. Gregory had often seen Mr. Grobb, but had given him no thought, supposing him some elderly relative of the family.
But Bently's nose was frosted on an average of once a day. Nearly all of this time I lay at the lumber camp worrying about Hubbard's body. One day late in January, when I had been hoping that the body had been safely brought out, Mackenzie and George arrived from Northwest River with the news that the storms had been so continuous it had not been deemed wise to attempt the journey inland.
