"You see," she went on, and Flossie and Freddie listened carefully, "some kind people give us money so that the poor children of the city may have a little time in the country during the hot weather. We board them out at different farmers' houses. This company of children has been on two different farms near Branchville, where we just got on the train.
"Are you a relative of the Honorable Arthur Ramsay?" he demanded; and when she had told him, he exclaimed: "Then you must know all about Geoffrey Gaines and how he disappeared!" "I've known him since I was a baby," she answered; "but how he disappeared is still an awful mystery to us. My grandfather is very ill in the Branchville hospital, you know." "But didn't he receive my letter?" cried Mr.
A lot of it is just as much a mystery to me as it is to you. I think you all have heard that I have a grandfather who is very ill, in a hospital over in Branchville. He is the Honorable Arthur Ramsay, of Norwich, England. He has been for many years a traveler and explorer in China and India and Tibet.
"Didn't some Durgin, a nephew of Hardy, claim the body, up at Branchville?" Dorothy was pale again, but resolute. "Yes Paul. He's Foster's brother." "You told me you had neither brothers nor sisters," Garrison reminded her a little sternly. "These were not forgotten?" "They are stepbrothers only by marriage. I thought I could leave them out," she explained, flushing as she tried to meet his gaze.
Her lips moved, but for a moment made no sound. Then, with an effort, she replied: "You're glad but why?" "Because," he replied, with a forced smile on his lips, "the man up at Branchville was murdered." She made no sound. She simply closed her eyes and swayed toward him, weakly collapsing as she fell.
As the rebels have probably removed their most valuable property from Augusta, perhaps Branchville would be the most important point at which to strike in order to sever all connection between Virginia and the Southwestern Railroad. General Grant's wishes, however, are, that this whole matter of your future actions should be entirely left to your discretion.
"He said nothing at all of leaving New York?" "Not a word." "You are positive he bought a ticket for Branchville?" "Oh, sure," said Tuttle. Garrison reflected for a moment. "I rather wish you had followed. However, he may return. Keep your eye on the place where he was rooming. Have you noticed anyone else around the office here reporters, for instance?" "No.
Scott?" said the detective, who had determined to pose as an upper-air enthusiast. "I was stopping in Branchville for a day or two, and heard of your fame as a fellow inventor. I've been interested in aeroplanes and dirigible balloons so long that I thought I'd give myself the pleasure of a call." "Um!" said Scott, closing the door of his shop behind him, as if to guard a precious secret.
In general terms, my plan is to turn over to General Foster the city of Savannah, to sally forth with my army resupplied, cross the Savannah, feign on Charleston and Augusta, but strike between, breaking en route the Charleston & Augusta Railroad, also a large part of that from Branchville and Camden toward North Carolina, and then rapidly to move for some point of the railroad from Charleston to Wilmington, between the Santee and Cape Fear Rivers; then, communicating with the fleet in the neighborhood of Georgetown, I would turn upon Wilmington or Charleston, according to the importance of either.
There was nothing to be done at Branchville or Hickwood at night, and but little, for the matter of that, to be done by day. Tomorrow would be ample time to return to that theater of uncertainty. He longed for one thing only another sight of Dorothy enshrined within his heart.
