I say, Constance, I suppose they've followed you down here." "Who, Garry," very innocently. "The faithful three, Colonel Vetchen, Cuyp, and old I mean the gracefully mature Courtlandt Classon. Are they here?" "I believe so, dear," admitted his aunt demurely. "And, Garry, so is Virginia Suydam."
Courtlandt's unexpected appearance in Bellaggio had also created a suspicion which he could not minutely define. The truth was, when a man loved, every other man became his enemy, not excepting her father: the primordial instinct has survived all the applications of veneer. So, Abbott was not at all pleased to see his friend that morning. At length Courtlandt returned to the lounge.
"I don't see how you did it," admiringly. "I'll drop in every little while to see how you are getting on," volunteered Courtlandt. "You can sit by the door if you care to see them dance. I'm off to see Mrs. Harrigan and tell her where you are. Here's a cigar." Harrigan turned the cigar over and over in his fingers, all the while gazing at the young man's diminishing back. He sighed.
Yates was a firm and decided anti-federalist. He was known to be the personal and political friend of Colonel Burr. At this meeting a committee of correspondence was appointed. Colonel Hamilton and Colonel Burr were both members of this committee. Morris and Mr. Van Courtlandt to withdraw their names, and to unite in the support of Mr. Yates.
Courtlandt nodded. "So big that he couldn't have married my girl even if he loved her?" "Yes. As big as that." Harrigan riffled the leaves of his book. "What do you say to going down to the hotel and having a game of bazzica, as they call billiards here?" "Nothing would please me better," said Courtlandt, relieved that Harrigan did not press him for further revelations.
My husband looked into the whole case, and, of course, he sustains her. Phil Courtlandt had to go into a retreat once, but I believe it was because she treated him so. His father was sure that she could reform and make a man of him, and he almost implored her to take pity on his gray hairs and save his boy. I tell you I think it was sheer ingratitude.
Daly evidently concluded that he had no case against the Police, for he is not heard from again. Up in the Yukon that year, as already mentioned, Superintendent Z. T. Wood was in command of the territory, with Inspector Courtlandt Starnes in charge at Dawson, and Superintendent P. C. H. Primrose at White Horse, and Assistant Surgeon Fraser on Dalton Trail.
I thought you were your father's son, but I guess you are like the rest of 'em, hunters of women." Courtlandt laughed and stepped to the middle of the court. Harrigan did not waste any time. He sent in a straight jab to the jaw, but Courtlandt blocked it neatly and countered with a hard one on Harrigan's ear, which began to swell. "Fine!" growled Harrigan. "You know something about the game.
Oh, for a minute's rest and a piece of lemon on his parched tongue! Suddenly Courtlandt rushed him tigerishly, landing a jab which closed Harrigan's right eye. Courtlandt dropped his hands, and stepped back. His glance traveled suggestively to Harrigan's feet. He was outside the "ropes." "I beg your pardon, Mr. Harrigan, for losing my temper." "What's the odds? I lost mine. You win."
Why, I'd have followed her day in and day out, year after year; never would I have let up until I had proved to her that she had been wrong." "The colonel is right," Abbott approved, never taking his eyes off Courtlandt, who was apparently absorbed in the contemplation of the bread crumbs under his fingers.
