In beginning "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" the author says, "Most of the adventures recorded in this book really occurred," and he tells us that Huck Finn is drawn from life; Tom Sawyer also, though not from a single individual, being a composite of three boys whom Mark Twain had known. The three boys were himself, almost entirely, with traces of two schoolmates, John Briggs and Will Bowen.
Old Perrault could not wait for him to finish. "And the Champs Élysées, Mister Bowen, you have been there?" "The Champs Élysées? If I had a dollar, M'sieu Perrault " "Eh?" The old man wanted to hear him say that "M'sieu" in just that way again "if you had one dollar, Mister Bowen?" Bowen understood.
The soldiers also had taken shelter behind the trees, and Warner's jest about the officers was a jest only. Nevertheless the Southern fire was great in volume and accuracy. Bowen was an able commander with excellent men, and from his position that covered the meeting of the roads he swept both Union columns with a continuous hail of death. "We must get out of this somehow," said Dick.
Fairford seemed also struck by the presence Of the two ladies, and Undine heard her whisper to Mr. Bowen: "Do you see Clare over there and Harriet with her? Harriet WOULD COME I call it Spartan! And so like Clare to ask her!" Her companion laughed. "It's one of the deepest instincts in human nature. The murdered are as much given as the murderer to haunting the scene of the crime."
"Shall we go to-morrow," she asked of her friend, who sat abstracted by her side. "Where?" "To Miss Bernard's?" "Yes, to-morrow. They are anxious to see you, as is also your protege, young Mr. Bowen, who has inquired for you every time I have met him." "I had almost forgotten him in my deep experiences. Has he changed? Does he seem more hopeful?" "He seems far away.
Bowen recently had been named as joint executor of the will, together with Sir John Allencrombie, of London, W.C., one time neighbour of the late Mr. Skaggs. A long and exasperating cablegram had touched somewhat irresolutely upon the terms of the will, besides notifying him that one of the heirs resided in Boston. He was instructed to apprise this young man of his good fortune.
It was also the third and worst night of the gale, and Bowen, restless, homesick, was on deck to see it. She leaped and strained as she had leaped and strained ten thousand times before and then they writhed, those chains, like a stricken rattlesnake, for perhaps three seconds, and S-s-t! quick as that they went whistling into the boiling sea.
"Mr. Bowen," said I, "that man has got the yellow fever, and it is a severe case. It will probably go hard with him." "Do you think so, Hawser?" Said Mr. Bowen, slowly drawling out his words; "well, I don't know but you are more than half right.
"I will make love to you, if you like," he said, but he felt in an instant that his joke was in bad taste. They went the round of the theatre. "That is Prince Strozzi, Imogene," said Mrs. Bowen, leaning forward to whisper to the girl.
With this explanation he submitted these documents, which were all printed and distributed in confidence, and in this way Henry was enabled to give the whole proceedings. Mr. Valamburg decided that the proposition might be debated, and on this being so determined, Dan Bowen, of Indiana, arose and made a most inflammatory speech.
