There was sometimes a certaine King, inhabiting in the West parts, who had to wife a noble Dame, by whom he had three daughters exceeding fair: of whom the two elder were of such comly shape and beauty, as they did excell and pass all other women living, whereby they were thought worthily to deserve the praise and commendation of every person, and deservedly to be preferred above the residue of the common sort.
"How long do we stop at Brattleboro?" he asked over his shoulder. "Only long enough to get the knot tied," Abijah answered. "I was in town this afternoon and everything's set." "I hope," said Sally, "you'll give the bride away; it would be just fine of you, Mr. Comly." "I was hoping you'd ask me," he flung back. "I want to be as prominent in the wedding party as possible."
"Make out!" cried the Governor with a deprecatory wave of his hand. "We should be proud to be permitted to sleep on the porch! You do us much honor, my dear Mrs. Walker." "Oh, you always cheer us up, Mr. Saulsbury. And Mr. Comly is just as welcome." The second floor room to which Walker led them was plainly but neatly furnished and the windows looked out upon rolling pastures.
A young woman stood at the desk talking to the clerk, who scanned the pages of the register and shook his head. "No Mrs. Congdon has registered here within a week, I'm sure. Will you leave any message?" She said no and asked about trains. "Did you want something, Mr. Comly?" the clerk asked courteously.
"I must have at least one dance!" "My card is filled but I am reserving a boon for you! You shall have the intermission," and added as by an afterthought, "Mr. Comly," with a delicious mockery. He passed Ruth, returning to put herself in the path of her next partner. "This is your punishment for coming late!" laughed the girl. There was happiness in her eyes.
Then I according to his commandement, sate down, and he fell in further communication with me and sayd, Verily I doe conjecture by the comly feature of your body, and by the maidenly shamefastnesse of your face that you are a Gentleman borne, as my friend Demeas hath no lesse declared the same in his letters.
Comly, that you are one of those fortunate men who can throw business to the winds and have a good time without being bothered with telegrams from a hateful office." Her assumption flattered Archie. As his immediate concern was to escape the consequences of his folly in shooting a fellow mortal, he assured her that he was always glad of an opportunity to fling business cares aside.
As the Speedy, with the bewildered Señorita and her young master safely on board, slipped swiftly past the great transport Yucatan, Ridge, shivering in his wet clothing, said to Ensign Comly, who also shivered, "How I wish I could call out and tell Rollo all about it!" "Yes, wouldn't it make him open his eyes? But you can't, so let's go below for something dry."
A small boat carried her commanding officer ashore, and while he was gone another brought one of her juniors, Ensign Dick Comly, to visit his only brother, who was a Rough Rider. The Speedy had just come from Santiago, and of course Ensign Comly knew all about Hobson. Would he tell the story of the Merrimac?
A man motored up here awhile ago, looked the place over and asked me a lot of questions about the hotel and its guests. You understand, Comly " He hesitated, glancing questioningly from Archie to the Governor. "You may trust Saulsbury. We have knowledge of some other things that make it necessary for us all to stand together." "This fellow seemed to have no business here," Congdon continued.
