"No man ought to have such eyes," remarked a woman present to the Young Doctor, who abstractedly nodded assent, for, like Malachi Deely and John Sibley, he himself had a theory about Crozier; and he had a fear of what the savage enmity of the morally diseased Burlingame might do.
" From being the owner of two thousand acres to becoming a kind of head-groom on a ranch? What was the cause of your flight?" "Flight! I came in one of the steamers of the Company for which your firm are the agents. Eleven days it took to come from Glasgow to Quebec." Again the court rippled, again the attendant intervened. Burlingame was nonplussed this time, but he gathered himself together.
Burlingame was frittering away the effect of his inquiry by elaboration of details. What he gained by the main startling fact he lost in the details by which the witness scored. He asked another main question. "Why did you leave Ireland?" "To make money." "You couldn't do it there?"
Anson Burlingame, who had been United States minister to China, with two Chinese envoys, visited the powers which had made treaties with China, and negotiated agreements by which important principles of international law were mutually adopted. The most important domestic event in China, in recent times, is the "Taiping"-rebellion, which broke out in 1850, in Southern China.
I cried, as I took in the figures; "$12,500 I thought it was to be only $10,000." "It was," said Raffles Holmes, "but Mrs. Burlingame was so overjoyed at getting the thing back she made the check for $25,000 instead of for $20,000." "You're the soul of honor, Holmes!" I murmured. "On my father's side," he said, with a sigh. "On my mother's side it comes hard." "And Mrs.
Surely only those who were in the vicinity the night of the robbery. By a process of elimination we narrowed them down to just ten persons exclusive of Mrs. Burlingame herself and her husband, old Billie Burlingame. We took the lot and canvassed them. There were Mr. and Mrs. Willington Bodfish they left early and the stomacher was known to be safe at the time of their departure.
Some, with more hardihood, asked him if he was going East; if he was expecting anyone; if he was seeing somebody off. A good many asked him the last question, because, as the minutes had passed, Burlingame had arrived. He had also disclosed his great joke to those who would carry it far and near, together with the news that Louise had taken flight.
In 1868 came the affair of the Burlingame Mission, with which as with all the other events of the time in China Robert Hart had much to do. Mr. Burlingame was then United States Minister in Peking, a personal friend of the I.G.'s and a most charming man with a genius for hospitality. Nothing pleased him more than to see half a dozen nationalities seated at his table.
Burlingame had to leave Paris, and my husband spoke regretfully of the shortness of a visit he had so much enjoyed, and expressed a wish that an opportunity for more prolonged intercourse might present itself before long. Judging from Mr. Burlingame's letter, the pleasure had been mutual. I quote a passage out of it:
The Burlingame set must realize that they would be nobodies for all their wealth if they could not call at all those old communities down the Peninsula." "Not so very many of them do. But I see you have no false values. You. must go down with us some Sunday to Alta. I am sure you would like my oldest daughter. She is very smart, as they call it now, but distinctly of the old regime."
