"Go there with whom?" said Davies, grasping the rail of the fence and breathing hard. "Why, with Willett, of course; he was the only fellow that had a good turnout. He used to come for them, I believe, and sometimes he had Mrs. Darling and Mrs. Davies he and Burtis and sometimes Mrs. Flight." "And do you mean that they that these four, went there to Cresswell's? Do you know this, Sanders?"
Willett or Mr. Burtis of the Cattle Club, such charming dancers these, should sometimes, indeed frequently, suggest just a little bite, just a hot bird and a cold bottle at Cresswell's? Such delicious salads as he could concoct out of even canned shrimp or lobster, such capital oysters as came to him, fresh, three times a week from Baltimore, such delicious champagne, so carefully iced.
"Well," said the squire, "I guess we've been rather slack. I must send my boys over to see how you manage." "Amy," remarked Burtis, laughing, "you are very polite. You are trying to look as if you were interested." "I am interested," said the young girl, positively. "One of the things I liked best in English people was their keen interest in all rural pursuits.
Papa did not care much for such things; but now that I am a country girl I intend to learn all I can about country life." Amy had not intended this as a politic speech, but it nevertheless won her the increased good-will of all present. Burtis whispered, "Let me be your instructor." Something like a smile softened Webb's rugged face, but he did not raise his eyes from the fire.
One morning long ago I shot two, and had quite a funny experience with one of them." "Pray tell us about it," said Burtis, glad of a diversion from his ornithological shortcomings. Having transacted my business and procured a good supply of ammunition, I started homeward.
Johnnie was her delighted assistant much of the time, and this Christmas-day was one long thrill of excitement to the child. Her wonder grew and grew, for there was a foreign air about many of Amy's things, and, having been brought from such a long distance, they seemed to belong to another world. The severe cold continued, and only the irrepressible Burtis ventured out to any extent.
"We trotted or galloped all the way to town and found Paine soon after six, drunk, of course, too drunk to ride the spare horse, so while we were waiting for an ambulance from the quartermaster's depot, I ran over to the Cattle Club for a drink, and was chatting there with Willett and Burtis, by the way, I asked them both to drive out and dine with us to-night and take in the hop later, and presently in came a couple of cattlemen from Cheyenne who knew everybody at Russell and were jolly, pleasant fellows.
They pulled Burtis aboard, too, and in the scuffle he fell all over Howard, knocked his hat off, and I knew the face in a second, and when I came off that car he came with me, by the scruff of his neck, swearing and protesting and denying that he was Howard, and threatening to have the law on me and appealing to the cattlemen for rescue.
Returning home for her vacation in August, she found to her surprise that a second woman's rights convention had been held in Rochester in the Unitarian church, that her mother, her father, and her sister Mary, and many of their Quaker friends had not only attended, but had signed the Declaration of Sentiments and the resolutions, and that her cousin, Sarah Burtis Anthony, had acted as secretary.
A man without a wife to take care of him was to her one of the forlornest of objects, and with secret satisfaction she thought, "Leonard, I imagine, would find the birds' housekeeping a poor substitute for mine." "Speaking of birds, doctor, there are some big fellows around this winter," said Burtis.
