Beulah raised her head, and, while the tears dried in her flashing eyes, said fiercely: "Claudy, I did go to see you! On my knees, at Mrs. Grayson's front door, I prayed her to let me see you. She refused, and ordered me to come there no more! She would not suffer my sister to know that I was waiting there on my knees to see her dear, angel face. That was long before you were taken sick.
He drew his pencil-pad from his pocket, hastily wrote a few lines upon it, pushed his way to the stage, and thrust what he had written into Mr. Grayson's hands. The speaker, stopping to take a drink of water, read this note: "DEAR MR. GRAYSON, The Denver Express is two hours and a half late. For God's sake speak until it comes; you will hear it at three, when it pulls into the station.
Now, even when the fight, with a united party, was desperate at best, he foresaw a defection, and hot wrath rose up in his veins against Goodnight, the Monitor, and all their following. But the worst of the whole position to a man of Grayson's open and direct temperament was the necessity to keep silent, even to dissemble, or, at least, to do that which seemed to him very near to dissembling.
It was Harley, "King" Plummer, Heathcote, and Jim, and their act was spontaneous, the inspiration of the moment, drawn from Jimmy Grayson's own inspiration. The guide beat upon the floor with both hands and both feet, and the other three were not less active.

About mid-afternoon they arrived at Miss Grayson's apartment and surprised Azalea by entering the room where she sat.

The child opened its eyes, looked from one to the other, and held out its arms to ME. Grayson should have known that the child forgot that it would forget its own mother. He turned sharply, and his face was a little pale.
"Yes, told me everything; that you had a big supper and everybody stamped around the room; that Mr. I don't care we had a lovely time, even if you two men did behave disgracefully. No I don't want to listen to a thing. I didn't come down to see either of you." "Why, Mr. Grayson's sister," burst out Jack "the old gentleman who came to see me." "That old fellow!"
