To make a long story short, I have a client, a very wealthy gentleman of Cottonton, Virginia; name of Calvert Major Henry Clay Calvert. Dare say you've heard of the Virginia Calverts," he added, waving the rank incense from the athletic cigar.
A pair of eyes were drawing his. He glanced up there was "Cottonton"; "Cottonton" and Sue Desha. The girl's hands were tightly clenched in her lap, her head thrown forward; her eyes obliterating space; eating into his own. How long he looked into those eyes he did not know. The major, his wife, Drake all were shut out. He only saw those eyes.
Quincy interrupted, "What did you wish to say about the business? We'll drop personalities for the present, at least." "Well, our business is growing, but we can do ten times as much with more capital. What I want to do is to start branch stores in Cottonton, Montrose, and Eastborough Centre.
Within an hour after Mary Dana had left the district attorney's office, Gustave Pinchot was under arrest, and, sitting in the same chair which Mary had occupied, was confessing his crime. The day that Robert Wood was discharged, with no stain upon his name, Quincy and Mary took her father to Cottonton. At the prison they met Robert's father who had come to take his son home.
"You'll have a good fight but fight as you never fought before; as you never hope to fight again. Cottonton will watch you, kid. Don't shame them; don't shame me. Show 'em what you're made of. Show Red that a former stable-boy, no matter what class he is now, can't have the licking of a former master. Show 'em a has-been can come back. Show 'em what Garrison stands for.
I'm not yet fifteen years old. Father says I can't have a beau till I'm eighteen, and I'm sure I don't want one." Bob had learned much street slang during his visits to Cottonton, and considered its acquisition a benefit and its use an accomplishment. "You've said it. Now sneeze it, and dust your brain." Mary regarded him with astonishment. "I don't understand such language, Mr. Wood.
"No, but something has happened in Cottonton and they sent newsboys over here with the papers." "Somebody living in Fernborough must be mixed up in the affair," said Mr. Dana, who was sitting in his rocking chair near the window. "I should say there was, decidedly so. Sit down, and I'll read what it says." "Bob Wood, he was the one who insulted you, wasn't he?"
Until he was fourteen years of age, young Quincy attended the public schools in Fernborough and Cottonton. While in England he had had a governess and later a tutor, so that when he reached America he was much farther advanced than Fernborough boys of his own age.
That was all he thought of. That, and to get away to flee from himself. Afterward, analysis of actions would come. At present, only action; only action. It was five miles to the Cottonton depot, reached by a road that branched off from the Logan Pike about half a mile above the spot where Waterbury had been thrown. He remembered that there was a through train at ten-fifteen.
"Where is the watchman now?" asked the district attorney. "Here in Cottonton, but he is intending to leave to-night for New York, I found out this morning. Of course, he was not able to leave before this as he had to stay in the vicinity, being a witness at the trial, but his leaving so soon now simply seemed to confirm my suspicions, and I thought it time to bring the matter to your attention."
