So come on down, Buck, an' leave us to attend to the cuss." "If you mean Hampton, he's my prisoner. Will you promise to let me take him down to Cheyenne fer trial?" "Wal, I reckon not, old man. We kin give him a trial well 'nough right here in Glencaid," roared another voice from out the group, which was apparently growing restless over the delay.
To slightly change the poet's lines, written of a similar occasion: "There was a sound of revelry by night, And proud Glencaid had gathered then Her beauty and her chivalry, and bright The lamps shone o'er fair women and brave men. "So, scatter out, gents, and pick up your partners for the first whirl. This is our turn to treat, and our motto is 'Darn the expense."
He paused, his eyes filled with memories, and passed his hand through his uncovered hair. "About that time I fell foul of Murphy and Slavin there in Glencaid," he went on quickly, as if anxious to conclude. "I never got my eyes on Murphy, you know, and Slavin was so changed by that big red beard that I failed to recognize him.
Our somewhat impulsive red friends out yonder are kindly preparing to assist me in making a successful passage, and the citizens of Glencaid, when they learn the sorrowful news of my translation, ought to come nobly forward with some suitable memorial to my virtues. If, by any miracle of chance, you should pull through, Wyman, I would hold it a friendly act if you suggest the matter.
I I used to know a Brant in the Seventh, but he was much older; it was not this man." She answered something, lingering for a moment at the door, but he made no response, and she passed out silently, leaving him staring moodily through the open window, his eyes appearing glazed and sightless. Glencaid, like most mining towns of its class, was dull and dead enough during the hours of daylight.
We are extremely exclusive in Glencaid," she dropped him a mocking courtesy, "and I have always moved in the most exclusive set." Piqued by her tantalizing manner, he asked, "What particular social functions are about to occur that may possibly open a passage into your guarded presence?" She seemed immersed in thought, her face turned partially aside.
For instance, as a question leading that way, how, in the incarnation of this world, do you manage to exist in such a hole of a place? that is, provided you really reside here." "Why, I consider this a most delightful nook." "My reference was to Glencaid." "Oh! Why, I live from within, not without. Mind and heart, not environment, make life, and my time is occupied most congenially.
They won't let me see him, the Herndons, nor permit him to come to the house. He has not been in Glencaid for two years, until yesterday. The Indian rising has driven all the miners out from the Black Range, and he came down here for no other purpose than to get a glimpse of me, and learn how I was getting on. I I saw him over at the hotel just for a moment Mrs.
Without doubt the man was guilty of crime; that its memory continued to haunt him was rendered evident by his hiding in Glencaid, and by his desperate attempt to kill Hampton. That knife-thrust must have been given with the hope of thus stopping further investigation; it alone was sufficient proof that Murphy's soul was haunted by fear. "Conscience doth make cowards of us all."
Now, don't play with me. I honestly didn 't know for certain I did want you, Murphy, when I first started out on this trip. I merely suspected that I might, from some things I had been told. When somebody took the liberty of slashing at my back in a poker-room at Glencaid, and drove the knife into Slavin by mistake, I chanced to catch a glimpse of the hand on the hilt, and there was a scar on it.
