Mavick when he was the confidential agent of Rodney Henderson, knew that their union was a convenient and material alliance, in which the desire of each party to enjoy in freedom all the pleasures of the world could be gratified while retaining the social consideration of the world. Both had always been circumspect.
John Carwile, First Lieutenant of Company A, acted as Adjutant after the death of Adjutant Childs, and also on General Kershaw's staff. Lieutenant James Townsend became Captain of Company B after the promotion of Huggins to Lieutenant Colonel. After Captain Hard's promotion James Rearden was made Captain of Company E and was killed at Wilderness, and Lieutenant C.K. Henderson became Captain.
Then he placed several of the shining knobs at the back of his head, and ran a long wire around his waist. "Now, Andy," ordered the inventor, "if you will take hold of this rod and place the end of it on his tongue when I open his mouth, I think we may be able to revive him." This was done, and Mr. Henderson turned on the current.
But he reckoned without his host, for in an instant the Esquimaux had leaped to their feet and were rushing toward the ship. "Here they come!" shouted the hunter. "Shoot to kill, Washington! Look out for yourself, Professor!" "Don't kill them!" yelled Amos Henderson. "They are too many for us, and our only hope is to try peaceful means!"
Most men are lucky if they get, like Henderson, a running mate." "I see," said Jack, who knew something about the Henderson household, "your idea of a pair is that they should go single."

It was also important to prove that the ride of Ruthven and Henderson to Falkland and back had been concealed, by them, from the people at Gowrie House. Now this was proved. Therefore to make out that Henderson had been in Falkland, and had given Gowrie early notice of James’s approach, though Gowrie for all that made no preparations to welcome James, was almost necessary for the Government.
Life would have met this extra atom by some new device. One wishes Professor Henderson had told us more about how life fits itself to the environment how matter, moved and moulded only by mechanical and chemical forces, yet has some power of choice that a machine does not have, and can and does select the environment best suited to its well-being.
"Was there any but one man engaged in the affair?" "Just one, and plenty." "He had a gun?" "Yes." "Would you know it?" "No. I was, to say the truth, too frightened to examine the instrument that was to shoot me." "Then we have nothing but the admission and the testimony of the accomplices, who say it was a frolic," said Stewart. "No frolic to me," cried Henderson.
