Maynard, gaily, though there was a lump in his own throat as Gladys and Marjorie threw their arms about each other's neck for the last time. The Fultons were to leave very early the next morning, and the girls would not meet again. Both were sobbing, and Dick and Kingdon stood by, truly distressed at their sisters' grief. "Come, dearie, let Gladys go now," said Mrs.
It was not long after, however, that Robert set himself to work out another problem. The Fultons lived near the Conestoga, and Robert and his younger brothers were very fond of fishing. All they had to fish from was a light raft which they had built the summer before, and this cumbersome craft they had to pole from place to place.
I was feeling very sentimental by the time I got to bed. I had had a long, and I suppose maudlin, talk with Harry Colemain on the beauties of matrimony. We had maintained the Fultons against all comers, as our ideal example of that institution. "Just think," I said, "this very night is the first one that John has been away from her since they were married. That's going some. That's some record.
Sometimes he came to meals. He was very quiet and shy. He blushed a good deal. And there was a weight on his mind. He had a condition to make up political economy. He could hold Jock and Hurry out at arm's length, one in each hand, but the weight on his mind was too much for him. Every time the Fultons mentioned it to him, he groaned. He was truly comical when he groaned.
So I was no sooner in my room at home than I took the receiver from my private telephone and gave the number of the Fultons' house. After an interval I heard Hilda's voice. "It's Mr. Mannering, Hilda." "Yes, sir." "I want to see you about something important." "I know." So she knew, did she? "Can you meet me at ten o'clock tonight?" "Where?"
Withers one and four years ago, respectively, and also could have murdered her. "Morley was at once out of the reckoning; he had known the Fultons for only the past three years. To consider the negro, Perry Carpenter, would have been absurd. Withers, of course, was beyond suspicion. Everything pointed to Bristow.
But we should have John's word for it that he is not going to play fair, before we take any drastic step." The Fultons left Aiken, and after what seemed to me a decent delay of a few days, I followed them to New York. John seemed further than ever from coming to a decision, so Lucy thought. But she evinced a more patient spirit.
