Dawkins turned pale at this allusion, and muttering some words to the effect that he would do what he could, left the counting-room. This threat proved not to be without its effect. The next day he came to Mr. Danforth and brought the sum for which he had become responsible. He had represented to his father that he had had his pocket picked of this sum belonging to Mr.
But tell me, tell me something, tell me everything, Danforth, before I die! "Ingham, I swear to you that I felt like a monster that I had not told him everything before.
"Well, at any rate she's a wonderful creature to hold her looks. By George! how she does hold out! You'd say, now, she wasn't more than twenty." "Yes; she understands getting herself up," said Danforth, "and touches up her cheeks a bit now and then." "She don't paint, though?" "Don't paint! Don't she? I'd like to know if she don't; but she does it like an artist, like an old master, in fact."
The first thing he did was to pay over to trustees the notes he had given Fletcher, thereby securing the widow at least a decent support. He also sent Danforth & Co. the ten thousand dollars for which their clerk had paid such a terrible forfeiture. After discharging all his obligations, there was still an ample margin left, a large fortune, in fact. Mr.
"Yes; I keep her in cigarettes," said Danforth; "she's got a box of them somewhere under her ruffles now." "What if Seymour should find them?" said Tom. "Seymour? pooh! he's a muff and a prig. I bet you he won't find her out; she's the jolliest little humbugger there is going. She'd cheat a fellow out of the sight of his eyes. It's perfectly wonderful." "How came Seymour to marry her?" "He?
"There is only one thing," replied the superintendent; "we've got to make the Irishman run ahead fast enough and far enough to give us room to stop or take a siding." The governor planned it in a few curt sentences. Was there a weapon to be had? Danforth, the private secretary, roused from his nap in the wicker chair, was able to produce a serviceable revolver.
"She was very kind, and made me feel quite at home in her company." "I hope she may be disposed to assist you. She can easily do so, in her position." The next day Paul did not as usual go out in search of a situation. His mind was occupied with thoughts of his coming interview with Mrs. Danforth, and he thought he would defer his business plans till the succeeding day.
"Oh, yes!" answered Phyllis, "though I didn't happen to see them myself. Mrs. Danforth told me that in July the Remsons had it, as they always do. But in August and September she rented it to an elderly gentleman, I can't think of his name, just this minute, who stayed there all by himself, with only his man or valet to do all the work.
"Now," said Mrs. Danforth, for this proved to be her name, "I will trouble you, Paul, to take the desk for me, and accompany me in the omnibus, that is, if you have no other occupation for your time." "I am quite at leisure," said Paul. "I shall be most happy to do so." Paul left the lady at the door of her residence in Fifth Avenue, and promised to call on his new friend the next day.
Danforth got into a towering passion with him about some professional consultation, and exploded a monosyllable or two of the more energetic kind on the occasion.
