"I never saw a fellow put on so many airs. He is altogether too aristocratic to associate with ordinary people." "Yes," said Oscar, "he has a foolish pride, which I hope he will some time get rid of." "He ought to have been born in England, and not in a republic." "If he had been born in England, he would have been unhappy unless he had belonged to the nobility," said Alfred DeWitt.
And Rhoda, awed by this display of passions, stood like the First Woman and waited! Of a sudden Kut-le disentangled himself and with knees on DeWitt's shoulders he clutched at the white man's throat. At the same time, DeWitt gathered together his recumbent body and with a mighty heave he flung Kut-le over his head.
If we are at all near the eleventh, I must be on my way to make my bow to Lady Wilts; or is it Lady Denewdney's to-night? No, to-morrow night. A light of satisfaction came over Mr. Hickson's face at the mention of my father's visiting both these sovereign ladies. As soon as we were rid of him, Captain DeWitt exclaimed, 'If that's the Fourth Estate, what's the Realm?
His Western director, Robert Grant Burns whom Luck knew well, had been carried to the hospital with typhoid fever which he had contracted while out with his company in what is known as Nigger Sloughs, a locality more picturesque than healthful. Dewitt feared that it was going to be a long illness at the very best.
DeWitt jumped to his feet, expostulating, but Jack and Billy laid a hand on either of his shoulders and forced him to lie down on his blanket. There nature claimed her own and in a short time the poor fellow was in the slumber of exhaustion. "Poor old chap!" said Jack as he spread his own blanket. "I can't help thinking all the time 'What if it were Katherine! Dear old Rhoda!
"Rhoda!" cried DeWitt, "I really wouldn't know you! I thought I never could want you anything but ethereal, but Jack! Isn't she wonderful!" Jack grinned. Rhoda, tanned and oval-cheeked, and straight of back and shoulder, was not to be compared with the invalid Rhoda. "Gee!" he said. "Wait till Katherine sees her!" Rhoda shrugged her shoulders.
Hamilton is intriguing for any candidate who can have a chance of success against A. B. He would, doubtless, become the advocate even of Dewitt Clinton if he should be the opponent. Baltimore, February 21, 1804. I left New-York on the 16th. The roads were so very bad that I sent back Sam, George, and the horses from Trenton, and came on in the mail stage sans valet.
"Thanks," said Billy, "we'll be on our way." "It's four o'clock. Better stop and have some grub with me, then I'll join in and help you." "No!" cried DeWitt, breaking his silence. "No!" "That's the young lady's financier," said Billy, nodding toward John. "Sho!" said the prospector sympathetically. Billy lifted his reins. "Thanks, we'll be getting along, I guess. Just as much obliged to you.
"Just ten minutes," said DeWitt, and as he spoke he sank to sleep. Rhoda stood in the moonlight looking into the man's unconscious face. His new-grown beard gave him a haggard look that was enhanced by the dark circles under his eyes. That wan face touched Rhoda much more than the healthy face of former days.
DeWitt will change places with me, I'll ride on to the ditch and he can drive you back." DeWitt assented eagerly and, the change made, Cartwell lifted his hat and was gone. Rhoda and John returned in a silence that lasted until DeWitt lifted Rhoda from the buggy to the veranda. Then he said: "Rhoda, I don't like to have you go off alone with Cartwell. I wish you wouldn't." Rhoda smiled.
