Lucy seemed disposed to make conversation, overwhelming Albinia with needless repetitions of 'Mamma dear, and plunging into what Mrs. Bowles and Miss Goldsmith had said of Mr.
The full contingent of Washington correspondents was there, of course, with sharpened eyes and pens to make the most of what they had already begun to christen a conclave of cranks. Bowles and Halstead met me at the station, and we drove to the St. Nicholas Hotel, where Schurz and White were awaiting us.
He was sort of takin' count o' the critters that done got kilt by the railroad kyahs." "That so?" said Sarah Ann, somewhat mollified. "I reckon so," said Jim Bowles.
