Joseph Haskett, of the Seventeenth regular Infantry, testifies to the meritorious conduct of the Negro troops. Said he: "Our colored soldiers are 100 percent superior to the Cuban. He is a good scout, brave soldier, and not only that, but is everywhere to be seen building roads for the movement of heavy guns."
A second bears the title The severall Facts of Witchcrafte approved on Margaret Haskett of Stanmore. 1585. Black letter. Another pamphlet in the same year deals with what is doubtless the same case. It is An Account of Margaret Hacket, a notorious Witch, who consumed a young Man to Death, rotted his Bowells and back bone asunder, who was executed at Tiborn, 19 Feb. 1585. London, 1585.
She had accepted Haskett did she mean to accept Varick? It was "less awkward," as she had said, and her instinct was to evade difficulties or to circumvent them. With sudden vividness Waythorn saw how the instinct had developed. She was "as easy as an old shoe" a shoe that too many feet had worn. Her elasticity was the result of tension in too many different directions.
Alice Haskett Alice Varick Alice Waythorn she had been each in turn, and had left hanging to each name a little of her privacy, a little of her personality, a little of the inmost self where the unknown god abides. "Yes it's better to speak to Varick," said Waythorn wearily. "Earth's Martyrs." By Stephen Phillips.
A man would rather think that his wife has been brutalized by her first husband than that the process has been reversed. "Why, how do you do?" she said with a distinct note of pleasure "MR. WAYTHORN, I don't like that French governess of Lily's." Haskett, subdued and apologetic, stood before Waythorn in the library, revolving his shabby hat in his hand.
He turned down the stream a bit and landed them at an old dock over which hung the sign: "Daniel Haskett, Boat Builder and Repairer jobs Promptly Attended to Charges Small." Dan Haskett proved to be an elderly man, who was somewhat deaf, and it took the boys some time to make him understand the situation. "We've had a smash-up," began Dick. "Cash up?" said the deaf man. "Cash UP to what?"
"Why, how do you do?" she said with a distinct note of pleasure. As she shook hands with Varick she saw Haskett standing behind him. Her smile faded for a moment, but she recalled it quickly, with a scarcely perceptible side-glance at Waythorn. "How do you do, Mr. Haskett?" she said, and shook hands with him a shade less cordially.
Waythorn, surprised in his armchair over the evening paper, stared back perplexedly at his visitor. "You'll excuse my asking to see you," Haskett continued. "But this is my last visit, and I thought if I could have a word with you it would be a better way than writing to Mrs. Waythorn's lawyer." Waythorn rose uneasily. He did not like the French governess either; but that was irrelevant.
He could see her going to the theatre with Haskett or perhaps even to a "Church Sociable" she in a "picture hat" and Haskett in a black frock-coat, a little creased, with the made-up tie on an elastic. On the way home they would stop and look at the illuminated shop-windows, lingering over the photographs of New York actresses.
In the rejoicing which ensued the thought of Haskett passed out of Waythorn's mind and one afternoon, letting himself into the house with a latchkey, he went straight to his library without noticing a shabby hat and umbrella in the hall. In the library he found a small effaced-looking man with a thinnish gray beard sitting on the edge of a chair.
