"Just notice him at a party," continued Faxton. "He seems to distribute his attentions with exact equality among all the ladies present, as if he were trying to discourage the idea that he was a marrying man." "Well," said the lady, still indignant, "I think you might ask him and settle the matter." "Excuse me, my dear," replied Faxton.
Faxton, with rather an angry pout for a Church-member in full communion, "just see what splendid girls are dying for him! I'm sure there are no nicer girls anywhere than in Hardhack, and he needn't be so stuck up " "My dear," interrupted Faxton, "I say it with fear and trembling, but perhaps Crewne don't want to be in love at all." An indignant flash of doubt went over the lady's face.
"The gentleman with the cigarro," she responded, laughing nervously. "No," I answered, "I know nothing of him." The subject was dropped. At another time she said, "He was in the village Overhaddon yesterday." Then I knew who "him" was. "How do you know?" I asked. "Jennie Faxton, the farrier's daughter, told me. She often comes to the Hall to serve me.
One evening, after many disappointments, John came to my room bearing in his hands a letter which he said Jennie Faxton had delivered to him at Bowling Green Gate. "Mistress Vernon," said John, "and Lady Madge Stanley will ride to Derby-town to-morrow. They will go in the Haddon Hall coach, and Dawson will drive. Mistress Vernon writes to me thus: "'To SIR JOHN MANNERS:
Lovejoy organized Every Body's League late in the campaign but succeeded in gathering hundreds of unattached men and women into the ranks of the workers. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union added its mighty strength and did valiant service under the able leadership of Mrs. Lucia Faxton Additon, Mrs. M. L. T. Hidden and Mrs. Ada Wallace Unruh.
Jennie Faxton, who knew that the garments were finished, had told Sir John that he might reasonably expect to see Dorothy at the gate on that evening, for Sir George had gone to Derby-town, presumably to remain over night. In sheer desperation John said, "I was here first, and I claim the ground." "That is not true," replied the other.
Let us not talk about her. Jennie Faxton told me I will talk about her, and you shall not stop me Jennie Faxton told me that the white woman made love to you and caused you to put your arm about her waist one evening on the battlements and-" "Jennie told you a lie," said John. "Now don't interrupt me," the girl cried nervously, almost ready for tears, "and I will try to tell you all.
Each had for the cause of her jealousy the same woman. One night, soon after Cecil had obtained from Elizabeth the order for Mary's arrest, Dorothy, on retiring to her room at a late hour found Jennie Faxton waiting for her with a precious letter from John.
Therefore, peace reigned once more in Haddon Hall. Letters frequently passed between John and Dorothy by the hand of Jennie Faxton, but John made no attempt to meet his sweetheart. He and Dorothy were biding their time. A fortnight passed during which Cupid confined his operations to Madge and myself. For her sweet sake he was gracious and strewed our path with roses.
How many will find them to-morrow? No one can tell; but this I know, they come to every woman at some time in her life, righteously or unrighteously, as surely as her heart pulses. That evening Jennie Faxton bore a letter to John, informing him of the projected Stanley marriage. It asked him to meet the writer at Bowling Green Gate, and begged him to help her if he could.
