It sobered and disheartened and, yes, disgusted him as he was forced to admit to himself the reality of her delight in receiving people in the great drawing room, of her content in the vacuous, time-wasting habits, of her sense of superiority through having at her command a troop of servants Mrs. Dorsey's servants!
You must be here to talk with him before he begins business to-morrow" to shock him into the realization that he had been imperiling the future he was dreaming of and planning his and Del's future. On the way to the train he stopped at the Villa d'Orsay, saw her and Henrietta at the far end of Mrs. Dorsey's famed white-and-gold garden. Henrietta was in the pavilion reading.
A few yards away Adelaide, head bent and blue sunshade slowly turning as it rested on her shoulder, was strolling round the great flower-rimmed, lily-strewn outer basin of Mrs. Dorsey's famed fountain, the school of crimson fish, like a streak of fire in the water, following her.
Matair being a very cruel woman, would whip the slaves herself for any misdemeanor. Dorsey recalls an incident that is hard to obliterate from his mind, it is as follows: Dorsey's mother was called by Mrs. Matair, not hearing her, she continued with her duties, suddenly Mrs. Matair burst out in a frenzy of anger over the woman not answering.
"And last week," he cut her short, "in a single sitting, she gambled away thirty thousand of Jack Dorsey's dust, Dorsey, with two mortgages already on his dump!

None of them accepted the offer of the colonel to remain, as they were only too glad to leaver the cruelties of the Matair plantation. Dorsey's father got a job with Judge Carraway of Suwannee where he worked for one year. He later homesteaded 40 acres of land that he received from the government and began farming.
Then Dorsey's shrill insistence prevailed over the roars of laughter in front; the young folks on the stage heard his bloodcurdling bulletin. The manager let slip the whirling handle and the pole of the hurrying curtain thumped the platform. Vona had leaped, risking her life, and was able to dodge under the descending pole.
"Well, it's not exactly the start I'd been thinking of," replied he, reluctantly but tentatively. It is not in human nature to refuse to press an offered advantage. Said Del: "Can't we close up most of the house use only five or six rooms on the ground floor? And Mrs. Dorsey's gardener and his helpers will be there. All we have to do is to see that they've not neglected the grounds."
There was a dead hush as the crowd in the pool-room waited for Old Heck's reply to Dorsey's drunken challenge. "We'll kind of remember that invitation, Dorsey," Old Heck said in tones as hard and smooth and cold as ice, while his gray eyes narrowed and bored the boastful cow-man like points of steel, "we'll sort of bear in mind that suggestion of yours.
