"What's that for?" asked Edna with sudden interest. "About seeing this feller?" hurriedly continued Mr. Pumpelly. "Seems to me they've rather got you, Edna!" "But what's the use seein' him?" she asked. "I'm summoned, ain't I?" "Why not see the man?" advised Mr. Edgerton, gladly seizing this possibility of a diversion. "It cannot do any harm." "What is his name?" "Mr.
"Do you insist on calling for the second fight within fifteen minutes, Mr. Darrin?" asked Second Classman Edgerton. "For my own part, I do," replied Dave quietly; "I leave the decision to Mr. Treadwell's courtesy." "Well, of all the freaks!" muttered Mr. Wheeler, as the two fight officials walked aside to discuss the matter. "Darry," demanded the agitated Farley, "are you plumb, clean crazy?"
I forgot the sweet tones of my wife's words the pure-souled words themselves tones and words which, while their sounds yet lingered in my ears, I could not have questioned I did not dare to question. The tempter grew in the ascendant the moment I had passed out of her sight; and when I met William Edgerton the next day, he acquired greatly-increased power over my understanding.
My haughty deportment had vexed their self-esteem, and, as the same cause had left me with few sympathies, it was taken for granted that the unfairness of their assault would provoke no censure. They were mistaken. In the moment of my greatest difficulty, William Edgerton dashed in among them. My exigency rendered his assistance a very singular benefit.
When the conduct of William Edgerton had become such, as to awaken the notice of third persons, I was justified in exacting from him the heavy responsibility he had incurred. The vague, indistinct conviction had long floated before my mind, that I would be required to take his life.
He told me, in a subsequent conversation, that he had narrowly observed the parties that, until the moment before he fell, the hands of the two had not met that then, Edgerton offered his to assist my wife over the stream, and scarcely had their fingers touched, when Edgerton sank down, like a stone, seemingly lifeless, and falling into the water only after he had become insensible.
I scanned closely, with the keenest eyes of jealousy, every feature, every movement of the two within. In the eyes of Edgerton, I beheld I did not deceive myself in this I beheld the speaking soul, devoted, rapt, full of love for the object of his survey. That he loved her was to me sufficiently clear. His words were few, faintly spoken, timid.
Come, make a clean breast of it. Out with your secret! I have always been your friend. "You are quite mistaken," he said, with the effort of one who is half strangled. "There is nothing in it; I assure you, you were never more mistaken." "Pshaw, Edgerton! you may blind papa, but you can not blind me. Keep your secret, if you please, but, if you provoke me, I will trace it out; I will unkennel you.
This rubbing our patient often finds the most heavenly relief, not only right after a bath, but at any hour of the day or night. There is, therefore, no hour of either during which Mr. Edgerton can not procure this means of relief from some servant upon duty.
I will not undertake to analyze them, or account for those conflicting sensations which make us shrink, with something like terror, from the very object which we desire. At length the day came, and the man; attended by his father, William Edgerton, and myself, took our places, and stood prepared for the issue. I looked round me with a dizzy feeling of uncertainty.
