They said, 'Telegraph when you are safe at Miss Ladd's school. You see, we are so rich, the expense of telegraphing to the West Indies is nothing to us. Besides, a telegram has an advantage over a letter it doesn't take long to read. I daresay I shall write home. But they are in no hurry; and I am in no hurry.
To a person acquainted with the circumstances there could be no possible doubt of what had happened. Francine had failed to excuse herself, and had been dismissed from Miss Ladd's house. "I would have traveled to the world's end," Mrs. Ellmother said, "to see that!" She returned to her place in the waiting-room, perfectly satisfied.
But if they do, well, Sol can outrun Diablo. An' I can always kill the white devil!" Ladd's strange hate of the horse showed in the passion of his last words, in his hardening jaw and grim set lips.

"No blame can possibly attach to you, my dear sir," he continued, in his most amiable manner. "Will it be indiscreet, on my part, if I ask how you first became acquainted with Miss Jethro?" "I first became acquainted with her at Miss Ladd's school," Alban answered. "She was, for a short time only, one of the teachers; and she left her situation rather suddenly."
