He was brown, alert, and vigorous but more than all, his eyes were keen and cheerful and his smile ready and manly. "You're looking well," said the son. "I am well. Since I struck the high altitudes I'm a new man. I don't wonder you love this life." "Are you preaching?"
He entered his father's house with reluctance and loathing. The day was one of preparation. Jack had carried out, so far as he well could, the captive's wishes. His gun, his clothing, and his valise were ready for him, and Mrs. Excell had washed and ironed all his linen with scrupulous care.
Excell came to town, and at sixteen considered herself a young lady. As suitors began to gather about her, they each had a vigorous trial to undergo with Harold; it was indeed equivalent to running the gantlet. Maud was always in terror of him on the evenings when she had callers. One day he threw a handful of small garter snakes into the parlor where his sister sat with young Mr. Norton.
