I want to tell you somethin' right away. I can't keep it to myself any longer. Can't we go home to my room or somewheres where we can talk? Please, Shadrach!" "There, there, shipmate; take it easy. Go home? Course we can! Hey, Sim!" shouting to Mr. Crocker, who was in the back room. "You and Mary can take care of the store, can't you? Zoeth and me are goin' home for dinner."
Crocker was obliged to reply that he trusted he might never be the cause of such a fatal attempt at glory; but he went on to explain that in the pursuit of love a man could not in any degree give way to friendship. Even though numberless lovers might fall from the Whispering Gallery in a confused heap of mangled bodies, he must still tread the path which was open to him.
"There's plenty of room for one more," she grumbled. "That little room beyond ours is just the place for a child. But go on, Larry, we'll think of a way. We've got to! It shan't ever be said that Kate Donovan turned away her only sister's only child. Do you mind when Mary married Sam Crocker?
Young Crocker was specially delighted with the honour done him on this occasion. He not only knew that his fellow clerk's friend, Lord Hampstead, was at the Castle, and his sister, Lady Frances, with him; but he also knew that George Roden was engaged to marry that noble lady!
I imagine he got the idea of coming to Asquith," she went on with a change of manner, "because I chanced to mention that I was coming out here on a visit." "Oh," I remarked, and there words failed me. Her mouth was twitching with merriment. "I am afraid you will have to solve the rest of it for yourself, Mr. Crocker," said she; "that is all of my contribution.
Logan got his division in position for assault before Crocker could get up, and attacked with vigor, carrying the enemy's position easily, sending Gregg flying from the field not to appear against our front again until we met at Jackson. In this battle McPherson lost 66 killed, 339 wounded, and 37 missing nearly or quite all from Logan's division.
I rode immediately to the State House, where I was soon followed by Sherman. About the same time McPherson discovered that the enemy was leaving his front, and advanced Crocker, who was so close upon the enemy that they could not move their guns or destroy them. He captured seven guns and, moving on, hoisted the National flag over the rebel capital of Mississippi.
Crocker and was found to contain a shrivelled pumpkin of last year's crop, the audience wildly congratulated the post-mistress. John, who was now thoroughly in the spirit of their fun, produced two large apples. "Now what daughter of Eve will bid," said the elated Colonel. Leila laughing bid fifty cents. "Going gone." "Look out for the serpent, Miss Grey," said Grace.
"Do you ever see the other side to any question?" asked Shelton. "I suppose not. You always begin to act before you stop thinking, don't you?" Crocker grinned. "He's a Pharisee, too," thought Shelton, "without a Pharisee's pride. Queer thing that!" After walking some distance, as if thinking deeply, Crocker chuckled out: "You 're not consistent; you ought to be in favour of giving up India."
All employment was out of the question, and he was rather a trouble to his sister; but in the course of the morning there came a letter which did for a while occupy his thoughts. The envelope was addressed in a hand he did not know, and was absurdly addressed to the "I wonder who this ass is," said he, tearing it open. The ass was Samuel Crocker, and the letter was as follows;
