A glance over the audience sufficed to ascertain that that portion of the population whose dinner pails we longed to fill was evidently not present in large numbers. But the farmers had driven in from the hills, while the merchants and storekeepers of Elkington had turned out loyally.
"What do you think?" he demanded, a shrewd, humorous look in his blue eyes. "Well, I think we'll carry the state. I haven't had Grunewald's experience in estimating." Ezra Hutchins smiled appreciatively. "What does Watling think?" "He doesn't seem to be worrying much." "Ever been in Elkington before?" I said I hadn't. "Well, a drive will do you good."
Cases of puerperal fever seeming to originate in erysipelas. Elkington, of Birmingham, in Provincial Med. Journal, cited in Am. Journ. Med. Sc. for April, 1844. Six cases in less than a fortnight, seeming to originate in a case of erysipelas. West's Reports, in Brit. and For. Med. Review for October, 1845, and January, 1847.
He turned to me unexpectedly a face of profound melancholy; his expression had in it, oddly, a trace of sternness; and I was somewhat taken aback by this evidence that he was still bearing vicariously the troubles of his client. So deep had been the thought I had apparently interrupted that he did not realize my presence at first. "Oh, it's you, Paret. Yes, I've left Elkington," he said.
At this point a sharp-faced lawyer from Belfast got to his feet and objected that the gentleman from Elkington was wasting the time of the House, indulging in hearsay. His remarks were not germane, etc. The Speaker rapped again, with a fine show of impartiality, and cautioned the member from Elkington. "Very well," replied Krebs.
His wife was a pretty, discontented little woman who plainly deplored her environment, longed for larger fields of conquest: George, she said, must remain where he was, for the present at least, Uncle Ezra depended on him; but Elkington was a prosy place, and Mrs. George gave the impression that she did not belong here. They went to the city on occasions; both cities.
"This city, of course. What do you know about him?" "Well," I answered, when I had recovered a little from the shock for it was a distinct shock "he lived in Elkington. He was the man who stirred up the trouble in the legislature about Bill 709." The Judge slapped his knee. "That fellow!" he exclaimed, and ruminated. "Why didn't somebody tell me?" he added, complainingly.
All of this went on at frequent intervals during the winter, and while I was organizing the Elkington Power and Traction Company for George I found time to dine and sup at Maude's house, and to take walks with her. I thought I detected an incense deliciously sweet; by no means overpowering, like the lily's, but more like the shy fragrance of the wood flower.
A self-sufficient, doughty young man, with the round head that withstands many blows, taking by nature to competition and buccaneering in general. I did not love him half so much as I did Matthew if such intermittent emotions as mine may be called love. It was a standing joke of mine which Maude strongly resented that Moreton resembled Cousin George of Elkington.
Of course she had put two and two together, my visits to Elkington and my manner, which I had flattered myself had not been distrait. On the chance that she knew more, from some source, I changed my tactics. "I suppose you mean Maude Hutchins," I said. Nancy laughed. "So that's her name!" "It's the name of a girl in Elkington.
