She was seeing queer, vivid, apparently disconnected visions Burlingham, sick unto death, on the stretcher in the hospital reception room Blynn of the hideous face and loose, repulsive body the contemptuous old gentleman in the shop odds and ends of the things Mabel Connemora had told her the roll of bills the young man had taken from his pocket when he paid Jeb Ferguson in the climax of the horrors of that wedding day and night.
The wholesale slaughter of these ponies was a most cheering indication that our campaign would be ultimately successful, and we all prayed for at least a couple of months more of cold weather and plenty of snow. At the Kiowa village we found the body of a white woman a Mrs. Blynn and also that of her child.
He had also informed Wetherbee that he had a five thousand dollars' legacy. At the funeral were Blynn, one of Rice's nephews, who had come on from Massachusetts, and two ladies, to each of whom he stated that they had legacies which would soon be available provided there was no contest of the will.
As she looked at them, she remembered Burlingham's having said that Blynn Maurice Blynn, at Vine and Ninth Streets might give them something at one of the "over the Rhine" music halls, as a last resort. She noted the address, put away the cards and walked on, looking about for a policeman.
"I want very much to go to Broadstone. I've got some business with that Mrs. Blynn that I ought to have attended to long ago. Now, why can't I ride out with you to-morrow? That's a pretty broad seat you've got." The butcher looked at her in dismay. "Oh, I couldn't do that, Miss Port," he said. "I always have a heavy load, and I can't take passengers, too."
Before she had had time to calculate the cost of the rug in the hall, or to determine whether the walls were calcimined or merely whitewashed, she found herself with that good lady. Miss Port's business with Mrs. Blynn indicated a peculiar intelligence on the part of the visitor.
Had she then meant nothing but mere lying words of pretended gratitude? But Blynn was always there; something else might turn up, and her dollar and eighty cents would last another day or so, and the ten dollars were not due for six days. No, she would not go to Blynn; she would wait, would take his advice "think it over."
True, she lingered a moment over a book of engravings, and to kiss a little statuette of "Prayer," but she thought she had done it all so nicely, and a little word of praise would have made her so happy. It was hard, when she had done her best, to have only fault-findings. At a very critical stage of affairs in the pastry-making, Nettie Blynn knocked at the side door.
No, she could not take alms; than alms there was no lower way of getting money. She might return to Mr. Blynn and accept his offer. The man in all his physical horror rose before her. No, she could not do that. At least, not yet. She could entertain the idea as a possibility now. She remembered her wedding the afternoon, the night.
