"I have been a man to the extent of making myself square with Victor Burleigh, and I've felt like a free man ever since." The look of joy and pride in Dennie's eyes thrilled him with a keen pleasure. Her eyes were of such a soft gray and her pretty wavy hair was so lustrous tonight. "Dennie, I am going to be even more of a man than you asked me to be." Dennie did not look up.
There's no skinning up that rock wall even if a fellow could swim the river, and I can't," and the big guard stretched himself on the ground again. "What's that old story about the Kickapoos here?" somebody asked. "Dennie Saxon knows it. Tell us about it, Dennie, AND THEN WE'LL ALL GO HOME." The last words were half-sung. "Be swift, Dennie, be quite swift. I heard that noise again.
And above all, he recalled many times a sense of secret shame that he should have felt degraded because of his association with Dennie Saxon on this day. But of this last, the memory was stronger than the present realization.
"I will" it seemed an heroic resolve "I asked this for Dennie, because my own life is never safe." "So you have said. Why not?" Burgess insisted. There was no way to evade the question now. "That's my own business just a little longer," Bond answered slowly. "One thing more; I want your promise not to tell what I say yet awhile. It can't hurt anyone to keep still, and it will help some folks."
There was at that time on the Connecticut River a rather unusual number of gentlemen, distinguished for polite accomplishments and correct tastes in literature, and among them some well known to the public as respectable writers and authors. Among these were Mr. Benjamin West, Mr. Dennie, Mr. Royall Tyler, Mr. Jacobs, Mr. Samuel Hunt, Mr. J.W. Blake, Mr. Olcott.
I know men. I never shall know women." So he thought. Aloud he said: "I was detained, Burleigh, and I'll have to see you again. I have some matters to consider with you soon." And Burleigh wondered much what "some matters" might be. When Professor Burgess left Dennie he said, lightly: "Miss Dennie, I need a little help in my work. Would you let me call this evening and talk it over with you?
It is said that even before election day, however, the relations between Dennie and the Colonel on the one hand, and between The Croak and Bockerheisen, on the other, became painfully strained.
Dennie, breaking the silence and putting into words what each of the others was vaguely feeling, "the question is what does all this mean? To start with, Marston Greyle is a most uncommon name. Is it possible there can be two persons of that name? That, at any rate, is the first thing that strikes me." "It is not the first thing that strikes me," said Mrs. Greyle.
Dennie made typescript and letters up again into a neat packet, restored them to his trunk, locked them up, and turned to the two hours' rest which he always took before going to the theatre for his evening's work. He was back at Scarhaven by eleven o'clock the next morning, with his neat packet under his arm and he held it up significantly to Audrey who opened the door of the cottage to him.
As the two men dropped their eyes, they encountered the upturned face of a plainly dressed girl coming up the stairs from the basement, with a big feather duster in her hand. It was old Bond Saxon's daughter Dennie, who was earning her tuition by keeping the library and offices in order.
