Lapelle feels that he would be doing your client a very grave injustice if he killed her lawyer er a trifle prematurely, you might say. He has confided to me that he is the young woman's friend and can't bear the thought of having her chances jeopardized by " "Pardon me, Mr. Trentman," interrupted Kenneth shortly. "Both of you are uncommonly thoughtful and considerate.
"See here, Stain," he began, when they were down the slope; "I've been thinking this matter over and I have come to the conclusion that the best thing for me to do is to go straight to Lapelle and tell him I am aware of his " "Say, you're supposed to be a lawyer, ain't you?" drawled his companion, sarcastically. "Yes, I am," retorted Kenneth.
The other looked at him keenly for a few seconds before answering. "I have. I seldom go without one." "If you will do me the kindness to walk with me up to the woods beyond the lake and will grant me the loan of your weapon for half a minute, I think I may be able to demonstrate to you that Mr. Lapelle is not the only dead shot in the world. I was brought up with a pistol in my hand, so to speak.
"That remains to be seen." Then he hazarded: "I think he will when he finds out that your father has been arrested." "He's been a good friend to me, Mr. Gwynne, Mr. Lapelle has," said she, a little huskily.
Not a word was spoken until after Viola had fanned a tiny flame out of the embers and lighted the shavings with a spill. "I met my brother out there in the grove," said she, rising and brushing the wood dust from her hands. "Yes?" "I thought maybe you and he had been discussing Barry Lapelle and me and what happened last night, so I started to give him a piece of my mind," said Viola, crimsoning.
While he had no intention of spying or eavesdropping, their voices reached him distinctly and he could not help hearing what passed between them. "Have you been up to the house, Barry?" were Viola's first words as she stopped in front of the man who barred the way. Lapelle did not change his position. His chin was lowered and he was looking at her through narrowed, unsmiling eyes. "Yes, I have."
I why, mother, I can't believe you would be so " "I mean it," said Rachel Gwyn, compressing her lips. "Then," cried Viola, hotly, "you are the most unnatural, cruel mother that ever " "Stop! You will not find me a cruel and inhuman mother when you come creeping back to my door after Barry Lapelle has cast you off. I am only asking you to tell him what he may expect from me.
He was not afraid of Barry Lapelle but he was in deadly terror of Redberry. The more he thought of Ceph being landed in the same jail with him, the longer the goose feathers grew on his shrinking spine. So he left the Captain out of it altogether, indeed, he gave him a perfectly clean bill of health. Along about dusk that evening a crowd began to collect in the neighbourhood of the jail.
I I sort of figgered it out as a good way to help both o' my friends, Mr. Gwynne, an' an' then this here thing happened. I want Mr. Lapelle to git away safe, ca'se I know whut Pap's goin' to do. He's goin' to blat out a lot o' things. He says he's sure Mr. Lapelle put Mrs. Gwyn up to havin' him arrested." "I think you may rest easy, Moll," said he, a trifle grimly. "Mr.
It does not mean that we shall ever be friendly, but we at least understand each other. For your information I will state that your mother did not refer to the affair at Striker's, nor did I. I know all about it, however. I know that you went out there to meet Lapelle. You planned to run away with him and get married. I may add that it is a matter in which I have not the slightest interest.
