Two soldiers, who had been permitted to visit their sick comrades, slumbered heavily, one with head drooped on his chest, the other with chair tilted against the window-facing, and dark-bearded face thrown back.
On their journey Rosamond talked incessantly of Jessie Bain, plying the girl beside her with every conceivable question concerning her, until at last Margaret grew quite restless under the ceaseless cross-examination. All unconsciously, her manner grew haughty, and Rosamond noticed it. At a way-station, some twenty miles this side of Boston, a tall, dark-bearded man boarded the train.
"Come on," said the Sergeant, "who is this?" pointing to the dark-bearded man lying in the corner. "Dis man," said Jacob, "strange man." "Any of you know him here?" asked the Sergeant. There was a murmur of voices. "What do they say?" "No one know him. He drink much beer. He very drunk. He play cards wit' Rosenblatt," said Jacob. "Playing cards, eh? I think we will be finding something now.
Don't make matters worse than they are!" "Here comes father!" shouted one of the children outside, "'n' he's bringing home a steer." The old woman sat still, and clasped her hands nervously. Mary tried to look cheerful, and moved the saucepan on the fire. A big, dark-bearded man, mounted on a small horse, was seen in the twilight driving a steer towards the cow-yard.
He was sitting in the sacristy at the appointed time, with a group of young rustics standing about him, when Johanson came quietly in. "I can attend to you first," said the pastor, turning kindly towards the dark-bearded man. "I can wait; I am in no hurry," was the reply. The waiting was long, as had been expected.
Tell your friend or employer that I am only mildly interested in his wishes." He spoke with deliberate hostility, but the dark-bearded man answered, quite unruffled: "Ah, I may be able to heighten your interest." "Come, come, sir, my time is valuable." The stranger drew from his coat pocket a large thick envelope fastened with an elastic band and handed it to the detective.
The door opened instantly to her impulsive knock, and the "Fool of Five Forks" stood before her. Miss Milly had never before seen the man designated by this infelicitous title; and as he stepped backward, in half courtesy and half astonishment, she was, for the moment, disconcerted. He was tall, finely formed, and dark-bearded.
William Henry Channing, admiring her executive ability and her plucky reaction to defeat, dubbed her the Napoleon of the woman's rights movement. Parker Pillsbury, the fiery abolitionist from New Hampshire, broad-shouldered, dark-bearded, with blazing eyes and almost fanatical zeal, had become her devoted friend.
Behind him upon a white horse was a dark-bearded man, with the quick, restless eyes of a hunter, middle-sized, thickly built, with grizzled hair flowing from under a tall brown felt hat. He wore the black broadcloth of the burgher with a green summer overcoat, and carried a small whip in his hands.
She knew this instinctively, and all her tenderest sentiment centred around the vague memory she retained of a tall, dark-bearded man, who, when she was only three years old, lifted her in his arms, called her his "little Mercy," and kissed her over and over again. She was most loyally affectionate to her mother, but the sentiment was not a wholly filial one.
