Knapp did not hear about it until this morning; he asked the landlord about the man, and the landlord said he was about thirty, dark, and sparely built. He did not notice his horse particularly, seeing that it was such as a small squire or farmer might ride. He carried a brace of pistols in his holsters.
Emboldened by my body-guard, I slept for two nights in Henry's room, and with one to watch outside the door, one lying on a mattress just inside, and a new lock and bolt, I was free from disturbance. Just as I had formed a wild idea of looking up Doddridge Knapp in his home, I came to the office in the morning to find the door into Room 16 wide open and the farther door ajar.
Now I must get you some tea. Pray look round while I am gone, and see how comfortable it is;" and Katherine hurried away. She soon returned, followed by Mrs. Knapp, who was glad to carry up the tea-tray to the pleasant, sensible lady who had engaged her for what proved to be not an uncomfortable situation.
Some editors would believe anything that was told of a minister, if they knew it was untrue. The truth of the matter seems to be that the elder called to visit a Miss Northrop, a member of his church, who taught school at Knapp.

In my Service a job half done is a job not done. We like to see things through.... Besides, there's Knapp, and old Piper." "Ah, yes," said Nelson gravely. "I was forgetting. Dear old Piper!"

"Bully," said Bud. "Best ever," asserted Nipper Knapp. "But say, here we've been talking about giving the town a flag, now what's it to look like?" "Jove, that's right," said Ray Martin. "What sort of a flag is it to be? Let's make it green and purple, green to signify ah "

I interrupted Mrs. Bowser to explain that I must speak to Mrs. Knapp, and made my escape as some one stopped to pass a word with her. "Oh, must you go, Henry?" said Mrs. Knapp. "Well, you must come again soon. We miss you when you stay away. Don't let Mr. Knapp keep you too closely." I professed myself happy to come whenever I could find the time, and looked about for Luella.
