He explained it to me afterward by saying that his eagerness to see Dorothy, and his fear, nay almost certainty, that she could not come, coupled with the hope which Jennie Faxton had given him, had so completely occupied his mind that other subjects received but slight consideration. "But I I have been here before this night to meet "
A movement of Smith was the cause of all." Another sidelight is thrown on Morse's character by the following extract from a letter to one of his lieutenants, T.S. Faxton, written on March 15: "We must raise the salaries of our operators or they will all be taken from us, that is, all that are good for anything.
"Why didn't he ever say he was a married man?" asked the prospective Mrs. Faxton, of her lover, that evening. "Partly because he is too much of a gentleman to talk of his own affairs," replied Faxton; "but principally because there had been, as he told me this afternoon, an unfortunate quarrel between them, which drove him to the mines.
I have catechized the servants, but the question is bottomless to me." "Have you spoken to Dorothy on the subject?" I asked. "No," he replied, "but I have sent word to her by the Faxton girl that I am going to see her at once. Come with me." We went into Lady Crawford's room. She was ill and in bed. I did not wonder that she was ill after the experiences of the previous night.
You may for a time think you drive her, but in the end she will have her way. Dorothy's first act of obedience after regaining liberty was to send a letter to Manners by the hand of Jennie Faxton. John received the letter in the evening, and all next day he passed the time whistling, singing, and looking now and again at his horologue. He walked about the castle like a happy wolf in a pen.
You remember that Dorothy during her visit to the dungeon spoke of Jennie Faxton. The girl's name reached Sir George's ear through the listening-tube and she was at once brought in and put to the question. Jennie, contrary to her wont, became frightened and told all she knew concerning John and Dorothy, including my part in their affairs.
Dorothy agreed with me and consented to do all in her power to deceive her father, and what she could not do to that end was not worth doing. Dorothy was anxious about John's condition, and sent Jennie Faxton to Bowling Green, hoping a letter would be there for her.
Sir George had not spoken to Dorothy since the scene wherein the key to Bowling Green Gate played so important a part. "Doll," said Sir George, "I thought you were at the stile with a man. I was mistaken. It was the Faxton girl. I beg your pardon, my daughter. I did you wrong." "You do me wrong in many matters, father," replied Dorothy.
Jennie Faxton, almost paralyzed by fear of the storm she had raised, stood in the corner of the room trembling and speechless. Dorothy was out of the room before poor blind Madge could reach her. The frenzied girl was dressed only in her night robes and her glorious hair hung dishevelled down to her waist.
I also told her to remain in readiness to draw up the keys when they should have served their purpose. Then I took them and ran to the stone footbridge where I found four Rutland men who had come in response to the message Dawson had sent by Jennie Faxton. Two of the men went with me, and we entered the lower garden by the southwest postern.
