Falteringly, Miss Haines explained. Then she cried. The child, who had regarded them gravely up to this point, took it for a signal. She screamed, then she roared. Nobody could comfort her or find out who she was. The arrival of another cab distracted their attention. The bell rang loudly. As Carey opened the door, an old woman bounded in.
"Ain't it the limit?" remarked the chief clerk to Bud Haines, correspondent of the New York Star. "The Senator wrote us that he was coming here because his old friend, the late Senator Moseley, said back in '75 that this was the best hotel in Washington and where all the prominent men ought to stay."
I know father and Carolina won't like it they won't think it's nice but I wanted to say to you that I don't think one ought to believe things against one you've liked and trusted." "You think one ought not," said Haines. "So do I; but in this case the proofs were very strong. What are you going to do when people you can't doubt pledge their word?" The girl tossed her head.
"Just one word explains it," said Haines. "Barry!" "What did he do?" This from every throat at once. There was a general loosening of bandanas. The eyes of Jim Silent gleamed.

Randolph, observing this, quickly stepped close to the Senator's side, saying, "I can settle with this Mr. Haines for you." Waving his son aside, the Senator finally spoke.

All of you children go out and leave me here with Mr. Haines."
Kate ran to Joan with a little wailing cry of happiness and gathered her close, but neither big Lee Haines nor ugly Buck Daniels seemed overcome with happiness at the regaining of Joan, and the child herself merely endured the caresses of her mother. Ben Swann made them a speech.
More than half were disposed across the peninsula, between the Yazoo at Haines' Bluff and the Big Black, with the division of Osterhaus watching the crossings of the latter river farther south and west from the crossing of the Jackson road to Baldwin's ferry and below.
I believe in the system, and have always upheld it. Nobody in Missouri hates a Black Abolitionist worse than I do; if anyone had ever said I would help a nigger run away, I'd call him a liar in a minute. Do you understand the position this damned affair puts me into?" "Yes, I do, Haines," and I held out my hand to him, with fresh cordiality. "It is uncommonly white of you to even go that far.
"Haines, you and McDonald get the officer out of the front room; carry him in there where the ladies are, and then rejoin us." His face darkened as the men designated departed on their errand. "I really require all the force I possess," he said doubtfully. "It seems impossible to dislodge those rascals back yonder. What we need is a field howitzer."
