"No," called Dave, "and it seems that the fellow is no longer a thief, but a distinguished fellow citizen whom we must honor at sight, like a bank draft." "What are you talking about?" half frowned Belle. "I haven't the least idea what I am talking about," Dave admitted cheerfully. "You'll have to ask Dick for the map to my few remarks." "Where are Mr. Colquitt and his party?" Dick demanded.
Where Lumpkin solicited with a burning pathos, Colquitt demanded with the bitterest sarcasm. Lumpkin was slow and considerate; Colquitt was rapid and overwhelming. The one was the sun's soft, genial warmth; the other, the north wind's withering blast. Colquitt was remarkable for daring intrepidity; Lumpkin for collected firmness. Lumpkin persuaded; Colquitt frightened.
But, Master Holmes, please tell me, to satisfy my last doubt. Have you any such marks as Mr. Colquitt has described?" "I never noticed such marks on myself," Greg replied. "He hasn't them," Dave interjected, "or the rest of us would have noticed the marks when we've been in swimming." "Then your last idea that Gregory Holmes is the missing young man must vanish now, my dear Mr.
Hibbert, Dave Darrin presented him. Dick also learned that Hibbert had been a willing host to five of the chums. "Now, you'll turn about and eat an ice cream with us, won't you, Mr. Hibbert?" urged young Prescott. This the young man consented to do, though, as soon as the dainty had been disposed of, he begged to be excused that he might go and have further talk with Tom Colquitt.
"Then fellows, please excuse me if I write a short note and ask Dr. Bentley to mail it," urged Dick. So Dave Darrin mustered the other chums, marching them off in the wake of Mr. Ross, while Dick hastily scribbled a note, placed it in an envelope, and addressed it to Alonzo Hibbert, or Thomas Colquitt, Eagle Hotel, Gridley.
Grayson, and justified himself, declaring his act was a mere vindication of his honour and good name, and that he had, in conjunction with Captain Colquitt, repeatedly asked Mr. Grayson to withdraw his insulting words and threatening speeches, but without avail, and the meeting was the consequence of his obstinacy. He said of Mr. Grayson, as Mr.
At the period of time when these men were young, education was deemed essential, at least to professional men. They all enjoyed the benefits of a classical education. Lumpkin and Colquitt received theirs at Princeton, New Jersey, and I believe were classmates, at least they were college-mates. Colquitt returned home before graduating; Lumpkin received the second honor in his class.
Grayson had said of him, that he was an utter stranger to him. Captain Colquitt made an able defence, wherein he justified himself and his conduct. A number of gentlemen of high character and distinction spoke to the kindliness of manner of Mr. Sparling at all times, and also of Captain Colquitt, and completely exonerated them from the imputation of entertaining vindictive or malevolent feelings.
Mr. The hours dragged on, but none thought of going to bed. At last quick steps were heard outside. "That must be Colquitt and Hibbert!" cried Mr. "Don't go out in the rain. Wait for another moment, sir," begged Dick, placing a hand on the man's shoulder. "Do you think I could wait another minute?" demanded Mr. Then he darted out into the downpour. "Hibbert, is that you?" he screamed.
"If Tag Mosher is not really my son, then I will stand by his last spark of manhood as though he were my son, and in memory of my own boy!" "If you will permit me," proposed Tom Colquitt, "I will go back to the road, get into the car and order your man to drive me to the county jail. There I will see old Bill Mosher, and drag the truth out of him. What Mosher has to say will be to the point."
