Perhaps the most illuminating log of that cruise may be found in the reply of one of them whom Percival invited for another early in July. "Much obliged, old man, but I haven't touched a drop now in over three weeks. My doctor says I must let it be for at least two months, and I mean to stick by him. Awfully kind of you, though!" The Sight of a New Beauty, and Some Advice from Higbee
Henry Gordon has a careful oversight of her welfare, and he pays for her education out of funds in his hands for that purpose, and I am instructed to let her want for nothing. She is not at all the friendless object of charity that you have evidently been led to believe. "The Higbee Endowment School in which Miss Nelson has been educated is by no means a charitable institution.
Louder, she's my child! But they wouldn't hark to it. 'Fraid to have me travel alone " "I guess they take awful good care of you," said Mrs. Louder; and she sighed. "Yes, ma'am, awful." She, too, sighed. As she talked her eyes were darting about the room, eagerly fixed on every new arrival. "Are you expecting anyone, Mrs. Higbee?" said Jane.
On my way from Cedar City to my home in Harmony I came up with a band of Indians under Moquetas and Big Bill, two Cedar City chiefs; they were in their paint, and fully equipped for battle. They halted when I came up and said they had had a big talk with Haight, Higbee, and Klingensmith, and got orders from them to follow up the emigrants and kill them all, and take their property as a spoil.
"Miss Grant has been at home only a few months," Oliver burst out as he rang the bell and climbed the stairs. "Since her father's death she has been in Paris with her mother, her cousin, Higbee Shaw the sculptor, and her brother John. A shell injured the drum of John's ear, and while she painted he was under the care of a French specialist. He is still there with his mother.
The ten who had died in the corral, and young Aden killed by Brother Stewart at Richards' Springs, would make the total number one hundred and twenty-one. When I reached the place where the dead men lay, I was told how the orders had been obeyed. Brother Higbee said: "The boys have acted admirably; they took good aim; and all of the Gentiles but three fell at the first fire."

Inside are all the line and colour and device of elegant opulence, modern to the last note. To this palace of an October evening comes the tribe of Bines, and many another such, for a triumphal feast in the abode of Barbarian Silas Higbee.
At one end and towering another ten feet or so above the mammoth letters was a white-capped and aproned chef abandoning his mercurial French temperament to an utter frenzy of delight over a "Higbee's Ham" which had apparently just been vouchsafed to him by an invisible benefactor. "There, now!" exclaimed Higbee; "what do you call that I want to know hey?" "Great!
Bob Endress, however, had seemed to Nancy to be a particularly nice boy. And they had had a secret understanding together before Grace and Cora had found out about Higbee School. Nancy said nothing to Jennie about it; but she wondered if Bob felt as the Montgomery clique did about her that she was a mere nobody and was really beneath his notice.
Higbee distressed him by an incompleteness of suavity. "He conducts himself like a pork," the baron would declare to himself, by way of perfecting his English.
