Claiborne's parting charge procured us courtesy from our guard. Indeed, they were a much better class of men than the great mass of the Southern army. Several of them told us that they had enlisted with Morgan only to make money, and were getting it fast. All were well dressed in citizens' clothes, and had the language and manners of gentlemen. They had another motive in treating us kindly.
The deportation of Chauvenet and Durand was to be effected at once under Claiborne's direction, and he sent Oscar to the stables for the buckboard and sat down on the veranda to discuss the trip to Baltimore with the two secret agents. They were to gather up the personal effects of the conspirators at the tavern on the drive to Lamar.
"Why are you running and why did you fire? Understand you are a trespasser here, and I am going to turn you over to the constable." "There was a sheep-stealer yes? He is yonder by the pens and we had some little fighting; but he is not dead no?" At that moment Claiborne's eyes caught sight of a burly figure rising and threshing about by the broken pen door.
Logan Black, knowing that the authorities were on his trail, mistook Reginald Maltravers for a detective, and held him prisoner at Morris's. Logan Black's men took away his clothes in order to minimize the possibility of his escape." "And the Earl of Claiborne's signet ring " began Cleggett.

I am quite sure of it. You know dear Stroebel had a genius for gaining information." "I have heard as much," and Shirley and the Baron smiled at Judge Claiborne's tone. The storm was diminishing and Shirley grew more tranquil.
And then there was the tenth Earl of Claiborne's signet ring on the dead hand. Beyond the fact that it was a circumstance which connected his fortunes with those of Lady Agatha, he could make nothing at all of the signet ring. What, he asked himself again and again, was the connection of the criminal gang at Morris's with the proudest Earl in England? Loge himself was a puzzle to Cleggett.
Carson sent a young man of nineteen years of age named Jerry Austill, the son of Capt. Evan Austill to General Claiborne's head-quarters, with dispatches describing the situation and asking for reinforcements.
The man answered; he seemed anxious to impart further information, and Armitage availed himself of the opportunity. "How near is Judge Claiborne's place?" he asked. The man pointed. It was the next house, on the right-hand side; and Armitage smiled to himself and strolled on.
Chauvenet and Durand had been brought out and placed in the buckboard, and these orders were intended for their ears. "We will waive our right to a writ of habeas corpus," remarked Durand cheerfully, as Claiborne flashed a lantern over them. "Dearest Jules, we shall not forget Monsieur Claiborne's courteous treatment of us." "Shut up!" snapped Chauvenet.
