Smiling and bowing in response, the pair passed through the village and went on their way toward the station which they reached at half-past one o'clock. They had to wait about ten minutes for the train to come up. They remained in the carriage; for here, too, a small crowd of country people had collected to see the bride and the bridegroom, who was also the governor-elect.
She listened fearfully for the return of her husband, but he did not come as soon as he had hoped to do; for while she listened the door bell rang again, and another visitor made his appearance, and after a short delay was shown into the library. Then came another, and still another, and afterward others, until the library must have been half full of callers on the governor-elect.
In the public schools, the story of her life and desertion by her husband had tipped the tongues of the spiteful with poison, and Lucy had come home more than once trying to conceal from her mother the hurt of her sensitive child's soul. Morris King, now the distinguished Governor-elect, hastened to press his suit.
The one with the trough pursued him and followed him everywhere he went, endeavouring with the utmost persistence to thrust it under his chin, while another kitchen-boy seemed anxious to wash his beard. "What is all this, brothers?" asked the duchess. "What is it? What do you want to do to this good man? Do you forget he is a governor-elect?"

The visit itself of the Governor-elect to the home of the stricken boss had a marked psychological effect in conciliating and winning over to our side the active party workers in the Davis machine.
The military and civil escort were still on parade before the house, waiting for the governor-elect. Mr. Rockharrt's carriage was standing before the door. He entered it and ordered the coachman to drive to police headquarters. The hour for the inauguration of the new governor was approaching. The procession to the State house should have been in motion by this time.
When the governor-elect and his bride entered the Rockharrt town house, they were received by a group of obsequious servants, headed by Jason, the butler, and Jane, the housekeeper, and among whom stood Martha, lady's maid to the new Mrs. Rothsay. "Will you come into the drawing room and rest, dear, before going upstairs?" inquired Mr.
In the meantime, the Governor-elect had tendered to me the post of secretary to the Governor, and I accepted this office which brought me into more intimate association with him and his plans.
