They had lived together like brothers, and like brothers, they had fallen into the habit of closing the door of silence upon certain subjects. Juanita, it would appear, was one of these.

Men and horses rolled over but, closing up quickly, the squadrons swept on.
I eyed him as steadily as I could, closing the while the window behind me with my right hand. 'He may try to kill me, I thought. My heart was thudding against my dress, not from fear, but from excitement. My situation seemed impossible to me, utterly passing belief. Yesterday I had been a staid spinster, attended by a maid, in a hotel of impeccable propriety.
Happily, I escaped the inconvenience of being held to appear as a witness, and early in the afternoon had the satisfaction of finding myself rapidly borne away in the stage-coach. It was two years before I entered the pleasant village of Cedarville again. I was in Washington City during the succeeding month.
