The colonel immediately took measures for the detection of the plunderers; and though they were all disguised, and wholly unknown to Gedney, yet Colonel Burr, by means which were never yet disclosed, discovered the plunderers, and had them all secured within twenty-four hours.
Waring had done in the courthouse-for he was the uncle of Solomon Gedney, and attended the trial we have described-and declared 'that she was a fool to; he wouldn't do it. 'Oh, she told him, 'she would not mind that, but was very glad to have people forget their anger towards her. She went over, but too happy to feel that their resentment was passed, and commenced her work with a light heart and a strong will.
His eyes, grown suddenly pitiful, struck a deep, unsounded chord in Evylyn and simultaneously a furious anger surged in her. She felt her eyelids burning; she stamped her foot violently; her hands scurried nervously over the table as if searching for a weapon, and then she flung herself wildly at Gedney.
I didn't mind, for one, and I guess the boss didn't; for the last office we passes through was where the gray-haired gent camped watchful behind the brass gratin'. "Well, wouldn't that crimp you?" I remarks, givin' him the passin' grin. "Our old friend Ananias, ain't it?" And he never bats an eyelash. But Gedney wa'n't in that class.
"I think we're ready now to talk to Gedney Nash." I smothered a gasp. Was he nutty, or what? You know you don't drop in offhand on a man like Gedney Nash, same as you would on a shrimp bank president, or a corporation head. You hear a lot about him, of course, now givin' a million to charity, then bein' denounced as a national highway robber, but you don't see him.
All these measures were entirely new; and, within eight or ten days, the whole system appeared to be in complete operation, and the face of things was totally changed. A few days after the colonel's arrival, the house of one Gedney was plundered in the night, and the family abused and terrified. Gedney sent his son to make a representation of it to the colonel.
Gedney, U. S. N. After an interesting trial in Connecticut, the negroes were set free, and, under the American Missionary Association, were sent to their native country, Africa, and of whom many are now receiving religious instruction by means of missionaries who accompanied them to the Mendi country.
Daab turned her head. "Gedney," she said, "couldn't you give her a note to Trieste?" "Good!" he said, feeling for a card and scrawling across its face. "This will pass you directly to his nibs." "You couldn't have granted us a bigger favor," said Lilly, feeling her face glow. "Then you grant me one. Bring your little girl to my Fifty-ninth Street studio. I want to paint her." "Indeed I will!"
Maybe he's gone to the mountains, or over to his Long Island place, or abroad on a vacation. "Tommyrot!" says Old Hickory. "Gedney Nash never took a vacation in his life. I know he's in New York now." The gentleman sleuth shrugs his shoulders and allows that if Mr. Ellins ain't satisfied he might go up to Floor 11 and ask for himself. So up we went.
"I beg your pardon" in a voice perfectly rounded of edges "but my husband is so enchanted with the little girl that we are taking the liberty of asking to meet her. Won't you permit me to present my husband, Gedney Daab? You have heard of him, I presume." Lilly had. The "Dolorosa" above her desk was a print from a Gedney Daab.
