Hayes's able Cabinet was likewise a harmonious one. There must have been very good talk at these social meetings. Evarts and Schurz were citizens of the world. Evarts was a man of keen intelligence and wide information, and possessed a genial as well as a caustic wit. Schurz could discuss present politics and past history.
Marshall got 'em from all over the country, and they'll be set to work today, so everything will seem reg'lar." "Where do they sleep and eat?" inquired the doctor. "Forty sleep in Hayes's barn, and the other twenty-six in the stock loft over the planing mill. Marshall's got a commissary department and feeds 'em regular rations, like so many soldiers.
The two became friends, and in conjunction with some mandarins of high rank, levied a system of blackmail upon the Chinese coasting junks that brought them not the junks in money very rapidly, and Hayes's daring attack on and capture of a nest of other and real pirates procured for him a good standing with the Chinese authorities.
Macshane then quitted Worcester, mounted on Hayes's horse; leaving all parties at the "Three Rooks" not a little anxious for his return. This was not to be expected until the next morning; and a weary nuit de noces did Mr. Hayes pass. Dinner was served, and, according to promise, Mr. Brock and his two friends enjoyed the meal along with the bride and bridegroom.
Immediately across the river Hayes's and Hoke's brigades of Early's division occupied a line of breastworks as a picket or outpost. While a dozen or more of our battery were a mile in the rear of the fort, getting a supply of firewood, another member of the company came to us at a gallop, with orders to return as quickly as possible to the fort.
And though during the day many delightful crises were precipitated, the most interesting were the expressions that devastated Polk Hayes's and Lee Greenfield's faces as they came around the side of the house to see what all that hammering was about.
"After all, wasn't it rather Hayes's idea than yours that Railton ought to go?" Mrs. Osborn ventured. "It was; there's some comfort in that! You don't like Hayes much." "I don't know that I dislike him. I'm not sure I trust him."
"Ah, I thought she was a foreigner, Niabon. I fancy we shall find a strong smell of garlic as soon as we get on deck." Turning up along the port side, we soon found an easy way of getting on board, for just abreast of the mainmast Hayes's Chinese carpenters had cut down the main deck from the water-ways to the bilge, so as to give free access to the upper and lower holds.
His breath was not his own, but hers; his money, too, had been chiefly of her getting, for though he was as stingy and mean as mortal man can be, and so likely to save much, he had not the genius for GETTING which Mrs. Hayes possessed. When bills became due, and debtors pressed for time, then she brought Hayes's own professional merits into play.
"Now, Gumgum, you know that isn't sensible," broke in Mary severely a regrettable habit which seems increasingly prevalent among our modern daughters "unless you people were ninnies." "That was in Garfield's administration," replied Mrs. Norris absently, "or possibly a little before, in Hayes's Rutherford B. Hayes. He did away with the carpetbaggers and all those dreadful people in the South."
