Colfax says," she asked. "It may be that he'll offer to raise your salary so much that you'll want to stay when he hears of this." "No danger," replied Eugene. "He may raise it a bit, but he never can pay me twenty-five thousand dollars a year. There isn't any reason for paying it. It takes a corporation like the United to do it. There isn't a man in our place gets that, unless it is Fredericks.
Acting upon this impression Kit Carson, accompanied by "Old Bill Williams," William New, Mitchell and Fredericks, a Frenchman, started for Bent's Fort, which was then located on the Arkansas River near a large forest of cotton wood trees, and which is, even at this day, known as the "Big Timbers."
Kalvin liked him, and he had one memorable conversation with Eugene some time after he came there almost a year which stuck in his memory and did him much good. Kalvin saw clearly wherein both his strength and his weakness lay, and once said to Fredericks, his business manager: "The one thing I like about that man is his readiness with ideas.
There, at the burial, Protopopoff was one of the chief mourners, and he, together with General Voyeykoff, Fredericks, and the Emperor himself, carried the silver coffin containing the remains of one of the worst rascals in Christendom, while the Tsaritza, Anna, and the whole Court followed in deep mourning.
It was more than she had ever dreamed an "artist" could make as an assured income. "Aren't you glad all that!" she exclaimed. "That's not much. Billman gets twelve thousand and Fredericks eight. But I shall be able to make something 'on the side." "I think it's wonderful!" Milly said. But Jack exhibited slight enthusiasm.
Otherwise he could not acquit the Baron of being avaricious, or at any rate insufferably close-fisted, seeing that, even though rolling in money and even when gloating over the old Fredericks d'or, he could not help bursting out with the peevish grumble, "I know the old rascal has concealed from us the greatest part of his wealth, but next spring I will have the ruins of the tower turned over under my own eyes."
Yet here, amid the din of this upset modern world we find a brain sufficiently master of its own thoughts as not to permit itself to be dominated by these horrible discoveries which, we are told, would make impossible Fredericks of Prussia and Napoleons and lower them to the level of the private soldier!
Although Hazel Fredericks looked her up soon after her return from the suffrage tour and praised the little house and said of the domestic arrangement, "How interesting!... Miss Geyer must be a woman of remarkable force of character.... It is a wise experiment," etc., yet Milly knew that to others Hazel would shrug expressive shoulders and drop eyelids over muddy eyes and in other feminine ways indicate her sense of Milly's social descent.
All that first year Bunker's came more and more to the fore in their life. Montgomery Billman, called on Milly in company with Mrs. Mrs. Billman, Milly decided, and so confided to her husband, was hard and ambitious socially. Mrs. Fredericks she "could not quite make out," and liked her better. Both the ladies seemed to "go in for things" hard and meant to "count."
Among the articles on the bureau lay a locket, in gold with a band of blue enamel crossing it diagonally. This was simply the head from an admirable carte de visite, artistic enough to have been made by Gurney or Fredericks, and showing that it must have been taken within a very few months, cut out in a circle and placed within the glass.
