I had hard work getting three officers to accompany me, because the police just then were having their annual inspection and parade and all wanted to be present. When we got to the lonely house we got a big surprise." "How was that?" "Gregg and the two men and Mr. Dale were gone." "Where to?" "At first I couldn't find out.
Just beyond Charles City Court House Torbert encountered Lomax's brigade, which he drove across Herring Creek on the road to Westover Church; and reporting the affair to me, I surmised, from the presence of this force in my front, that Hampton would endeavor to penetrate to the long column of wagons, so I ordered them to go into park near Wilcox's landing, and instructed Gregg, whose division had been marching in the morning along the road leading from Jones's bridge to St.
Brigadier-General A. T. A. Torbert was in command of the First Division, which was composed of three brigades; Brigadier-General D. McM. Gregg, of the Second, consisting of two brigades; and Brigadier-General J. H. Wilson was afterward assigned to command the Third, also comprising two brigades: Captain Robinson, a veteran soldier of the Mexican war, was chief of artillery, and as such had a general supervision of that arm, though the batteries, either as units or in sections, were assigned to the different divisions in campaign.
Take the side lines off Gregg and saddle him for me at once. I have work to do." The Mexican could hardly believe in his escape. For the time being, at least, he stood safe. It would be easy enough later to "lose" the telltale side line in the waters of the lake. Manuelito cursed his folly in having used the knife at all. Haste prompted that piece of bad judgment.
"Hahn seems to fear we will plunge into this asteroid like a wild comet gone suddenly tangent!" Anita moved aside to let him through the door. I caught a glimpse of her set white face as she followed him down the deck. Then Moa's bulk blocked the doorway. She faced me. "Sit where you are, Gregg." She turned and closed the door upon us. "I am not afraid of you. Should I be?" "No."
She stood beside me. Her height brought her face level with mine. "I think you will cause no more trouble, Gregg?" "Of course not. I am not wholly witless." "You have been." "Well, that is over." I hesitated. Then I added, "A man of Earth does not yield to love while there is work to do. This treasure " I think that of everything I said, this last most convinced her.
"Munner?" she repeated, frowning in wonder. "Why, munner is my munner." "Oh," smiled he, "and who's your pa?" "What?" "Who's your father? Who's your dad?" "Daddy Dan. You ask a lot of things," she added, disapprovingly. "Come on in," pleaded Vic Gregg, "and I won't ask nothin' more about you." "Munner says no," she repeated.
"Room enough there to have swallowed us all up," commented Billy, as they gazed at the monster. "Well, young men, what have you got to say for yourselves?" asked Dr. Gregg, as the boats drew alongside. The boys all looked shamefaced as they got into the boat, and two sailors assisted the half-frozen professor into it.
There were brigands down there on the rocks. I saw three or four helmeted figures, and they saw us! A bullet whizzed by us, and then came the flash of a hand ray. I touched Anita. "Can you make the leap? Anita dear...." Again it seemed that this must be farewell. "Gregg, dear one, we've got to do it!" Those waiting figures would pounce on us. "Anita, lie here a moment."
I was put up on a stool to play 'In my Cottage near a Wood, or 'Cherry Ripe, and then, to show the range of my accomplishments, I was asked, 'And who married the Dowager Duchess of Dewlap? and I answered, 'John Gregg Wetherall, Esquire, and disgraced the family. Then they asked me how I accounted for her behaviour.
