Dunlap and I got on the steamer Paragoad one evening at Baton Rouge, and seeing no one of board that I thought was of any particular service to me, I got a bottle of wine and a good cigar and was sitting in the hall, when a coal merchant whom I knew very well in Baton Rouge came along, and seeing me said: "Devol, this is rather a slim trip for your business." Laughingly I replied, "Yes."
From first to last he was distinguished for his indefatigable industry. The number of his pictures has been estimated, by a writer in Blackwood's Magazine, at three thousand; and Dunlap says that a gallery capable of holding them would be four hundred feet long, fifty feet wide, and forty feet high or a wall a quarter of a mile long.
"Thanks, Mr. Sprague," Lois Dunlap drawled, with an amused quirk of her broad mouth. "Get along with the row, Sprague!" Dundee commanded impatiently. "As I said, it wasn't really a row.
Dunlap is interested in, and found that the Chamber of Commerce was interested in putting Hamilton into the movies, in a big booster campaign. She wired me and I thought it looked good enough to drop everything and come.... Of course Nita and I got to be closer friends, but I swear to God we were just friends " "And what was the 'friendly' row about last night, Sprague?"
"You can easily build another snow man. And the boys will help you, perhaps tomorrow." "To-morrow is New Year's," announced Oliver Dunlap. "I have to go to see my grandma. But I can help build a snow man the day after that." The other boys promised to help build another snow man whenever Sunny Boy asked them to, and then, as they were going into the house, Mrs. Baker called to Daddy Horton.
And then I thought of Flora's lameness the day before yesterday. Was it honest to let Dunlap and Thatcher drive off to liberate the nation with a horse that might go lame? "Let me have a horse," said I to Preston. "I want to catch them and tell them something." I rode up behind the Abolitionists' wagon, waving my hat and shouting. They pulled up and waited. "What's up?" asked Dunlap.
At that moment, I would have traded my Iowa farm for any good piece of land covered with trees. But Dunlap and Thatcher had something else to talk to me about. They were for the prairies, especially the prairies of Kansas. "Kansas," said Dunlap, "will be one of the great states of the Union, one of these days. Come with us, and help make it a free state.
We heard some more voices mumbling along towards us and getting louder, and sometimes a cackle of a laugh. It was Lem Beebe and Jim Lane. Jim Lane says: "Who? Jubiter Dunlap?" "Yes." "Oh, I don't know. I reckon so. I seen him spading up some ground along about an hour ago, just before sundown him and the parson. Said he guessed he wouldn't go to-night, but we could have his dog if we wanted him."
"I should have known," Dundee admitted ruefully, as the three men entered Nita's bedroom, "that so ingenious a criminal as Tracey Miles would not have failed to provide against the possibility of discovery. He must have seized an opportunity to spill cyanide of potassium into the decanter when my eyes were off him for a moment and upon Lois Dunlap." "I'm glad he did," Sanderson said curtly.
Dunlap says that they would cover a wall ten feet high and a quarter of a mile long if arranged side by side on a flat surface.
