Are we not going very fast?" "Yes; trying to make up lost time." "I hope they will succeed, that our supper may not be spoiled with waiting. Do you think there will be any one but the servants at Ion to watch for our coming, Ned?" "Yes; I expect to find the Fairview family there, and have some hope of seeing delegations from the other three.
It was dark by the time we got into Fairview, but we contrived to get our horse within the stable and that unfortunate hound into a corn-crib, in which durance he howled so vigorously that the wild winds which whistled and shrieked around the barn could not be heard for him.
His "whoppers" were always so big that everybody recognized them as such instantly. Will Caslette, always called Billy or Giant, was the son of a French widow lady who had come to Fairview on the death of her husband, seven years before. The widow had just enough to live on comfortably, and she took a great pride in her offspring, even though he was so small in stature.
In these days were many councils at Fairview and in the offices of the Honourable Hilary Vane at Ripton; councils behind closed doors, from which the councillors emerged with smiling faces that men might not know the misgivings in their hearts; councils, nevertheless, out of which leaked rumours of dissension and recrimination conditions hitherto unheard of.
One afternoon, some two or three days after the young man came up to Fairview, he was returning from a ramble in the woods with his gun, when he met a beautiful young girl, simply attired, and bearing on her head a light bundle of grain which she had gleaned in a neighboring field.
"And I want your help in deciding whether every thing is exactly as it should be in the grounds at Fairview. Shall I order the horses?" "Yes. I'll go, of course, if you wish it, and enjoy it greatly, I know."
"Ah, that brings me to my second proposition, mother," said Captain Raymond; "that seeing what a very large company we shall make, especially if we can persuade our friends from Fairview, the Oaks, and the Laurels to accompany us we charter a yacht and go by sea." "Oh, captain, what a nice idea!" cried Zoe, clapping her hands. "I love the sea love to be either beside it or on it."
Andy talked in a low voice so as not to disturb the clown. Midget seemed most to like the real stories of his own village life that Andy finally drifted into. "That's what I'd like," he said, after Andy had told of some boyish adventures back at Fairview. "Oh, I'm so tired of moving on all the time moving on!" "Strange," thought Andy, "and that's just the kind of a life I'm trying to get into."
My first lecture A cold and disagreeable evening A fair audience My success Lecture at Fairview The people turn out en masse At Rushville Dread of appearing before the audience Hesitation I go on the stage and am greeted with applause My fright I throw off my father's old coat and stand forth Begin to speak, and soon warm to my subject I make a lecture tour Four hundred and seventy lectures in Indiana Attitude of the press The aid of the good Opposition and falsehood Unkind criticism Tattle mongers Ten months of sobriety My fall Attempt to commit suicide Inflict an ugly but not dangerous wound on myself Ask the sheriff to lock me in the jail Renewed effort The campaign of '74 "Local option."
"What a glorious night for skating," mused the boy. "There must be a good many out at Fairview, now that the ice is so solid." He walked around the shelter four times and then came to a halt once more in front of the lake. As he did this, he saw some object move across the ice of the lake. One object was followed by another, and then a third and a fourth. "Animals of some kind," he thought.
