Never saw such a figure but once before! If any thing, this is the better man of the two. By-the-way, what if it should be ! Humph! I believe it is, sure enough." By this time the stranger, a very tall and broadly built young man, with a close brown beard, and quick, comprehensive eyes, had arrived opposite the house, and stood with one hand on the gate.
"By-the-way," she added, "there is a Confederate officer in the house now Major Lightfoot, of the th Virginia Regiment. He reached here this morning from Richmond and goes to Chattanooga this afternoon on a special mission." Watson bit his lip. "We're coming to too close quarters with the enemy," he thought, and he felt like retreating from the mansion with his companions. But it was too late.
"Forgive me, sir," he said, "but about that contract I know I'm a frightful bore." "Oh, the contract!" Chilcote looked about him absently. "By-the-way, did you see anything of my wife yesterday? What did she do last night?" "Mrs. Chilcote gave me tea yesterday afternoon. She told me she was dining at Lady Sabinet's, and looking in at one or two places later."
Such a request, coming to an old soldier like Colonel Mason, aroused his wrath, and he would have proceeded rough-shod against Brackett, who, by-the-way, was a West Point graduate, and ought to have known better; but I suggested to the colonel that, the case being a test one, he had better send me up to Sonoma, and I would settle it quick enough.
"The doctor is at Little Beach, I suppose?" she said to the woman who answered her ring; "By-the-way, Mary, no one has been here to-day? No lady to see me?" "There was a lady to see the doctor; she was just possessed to see him. I told her he was down at the beach, and she was that upset," Mary said, smiling, "you'd 'a' thought there wasn't another doctor in Philadelphia!"
Ravenel told me afterward that you had declined the offer because of having inherited a fortune yourself. But, of course, I thought you must have met him; in fact, I remember that Frank said he thought so, too. By-the-way," she went on, rising to go, "he is coming over soon; Mr. Ravenel, I mean."
He glanced away across the long sweep of tan-covered drive stretching between the trees; then he glanced furtively back. "By-the-way," he said, quickly, "you wanted me for something?" The memory of her earlier suggestion came as a sudden boon. She lifted her muff again and smelled her roses thoughtfully. "Oh, it was nothing, really," she said.
If she made a hobby of her quest for clocks she would find much amusement, many other valuable objects by-the-way, and finally exactly the right clocks for her rooms. Everyone knows the merits and demerits of the hundreds of clocks of commerce, and it isn't for me to go into the subject of grandfather-clocks, bracket clocks, and banjo clocks, when there are so many excellent books on the subject.
You may rest well assured, however, that I took care to go armed, fortifying myself with a stout stick, with a long, ugly steel blade concealed within it a cowardly weapon, by-the-way, which I permit to rest in my house merely because it forms a part of a collection of weapons acquired through the failure of a comic paper to which I had contributed several articles.
"I should rather trust your heart than your age, Mrs. Laflamme," said Margaret, with a laugh. "Yes, my heart is as old as my face.
