Her troubled thoughts reverted to the little picture which had fluttered to the floor from somebody's keeping only an hour before. "I've had visitors this morning," she told him, with purpose. "Ah! people are sure to be curious and interested," he commented. "They were Mrs. Dodge and her daughter and Mrs. Dix and Ellen," she explained. "That must have been pleasant," he murmured perfunctorily.
It was only when she found herself helpless, in presence of the prejudices against her sex, that she turned her attention to freeing women from all purely sex limitation in public life. When the Civil War broke out, the women were ready to do their part. It is quite possible that the names of Clara Barton and Dorothea Dix may be remembered when Grant and Sherman are forgotten.
"Let's go and see what it is," said she, and together the two hurried faster than ever toward the tree at the bottom of which Dix and Splash were having a great barking time. "Where are you going?" asked Mrs. Brown. "Just over to this tree," answered Bunny, pointing to it. "Well, don't go any farther than that," warned his mother.
Though Lidgerwood had been up for the better part of two nights, and the day intervening, it was apparent to at least one member of the head-quarters force that he did not go to bed immediately after the arrival of the service-car from the west; the proof being a freshly typed telegram which Operator Dix found impaled upon his sending-hook when he came on duty in the despatcher's office at seven o'clock in the morning.
For a moment there was a silence, and then Bunny cried: "Maybe it was a hungry bear!" "Or maybe it was our squirrel Fluffy," said Sue. "He can hop around a little now, 'cause his leg is almost well." "Hum, the pudding's gone, is it?" said Mr. Brown. "That's too bad. Come here, sir!" he suddenly called to Splash. The dog, who was lying beside Dix near the brook, arose slowly and came to Mr.
"What's done is done." "It's not yet too late to undo the work," suggested Mr. Dix. "Yes, it is. I'm not the man to make back-tracks. Good-day, Mr. Dix?" And speaking to his horse, Mr. Bolton started off at a brisk trot. He did not feel very comfortable. How could he? He felt that he had done wrong, and that trouble and mortification were before him.
Up to that moment the Christmas of 1861 Maryland was kept in subjection by the guns which General Dix had planted over the City of Baltimore. Two-thirds of Virginia were in active rebellion, coerced originally into that position by her dependence for the sale of her slaves on the cotton States. Kentucky was doubtful, and divided.
Sypher sat at his desk, his chin in his hand, and struggled with his soul, which, as all the world knows, is the most uncomfortable thing a man has to harbor in his bosom. After a few minutes he rang up a number on the telephone. "Are you the Shaftesbury Club? Is Mr. Septimus Dix in?"
Dix, and to Caleb Butler, for the benefit of his creditors according to the preferences specified in the assignment. Mr. Butler was not a creditor, but Mr. Dix, senior, was much the largest creditor. In fact he had furnished his son with the chief part of the means of doing business. He was a tanner by trade, and he had gradually enlarged his business by employing workmen to make boots and shoes.
He was handsome in a mature style, and he had a dash of mischief in him still, so that he entered readily enough into Anne's plan. It amused him to think of hurrying Ludovic Speed, and he knew that Theodora Dix could be depended on to do her part. The comedy would not be dull, whatever its outcome. The curtain rose on the first act after prayer meeting on the next Thursday night.
