But she remembered now that Miss Bibby had several times swept down the cards of Octavius that they had placed on the drawing-room mantelpiece as a means of attracting any visitors' custom to Larkin. Still she need not have spoken in that angry tone, and called her "ill-bred." "Ill-bred" was a very uncomfortable word to have suddenly thrust upon one.
The dark cabal of Secession sends out trusty secret agents, even as Gillespie and Larkin called forth the puppets of Polk, Buchanan and Marcy to action. Valois hopes his friends can seize California for the South. Fenced off from Oregon and the East by the Sierras, there is the open connection with the South by Arizona. A few regiments of Texan horse can hold this great gold-field for the South.
'Dear Larkin, You will be surprised to find me in this port, but I think my secret cruise is nearly over now, and you will say the plan was a master-stroke, and well executed by a poor devil, with nobody to advise him.
He was dressed in average clothes, he was shaved and carried a suit case and didn't look out of work and was evidently going somewhere. He was walking along with this suit case it was on Larkin near McAllister about two o'clock on one of those superb days of last week and he came to a place where there was a stretch of grass near the sidewalk.
Shefford took it to mean vastly more than loyalty to him and pity for Fay Larkin. As Ruth and Joe had arisen to this height, so perhaps would other young Mormons, have arisen.
In making this change in his position, slight as it was, the gentleman in the superfluous clothing reminded Mr. Jos. Larkin very sharply for an instant of somebody. There was the rub; who could it be? The figure was once more a mere mountain of rug. What was the peculiarity in that slight movement something in the knee? something in the elbow? something in the general character?
Fail to make it and that's bad news! Larkin made it, a beautiful zoom that carried him over the trees by a skillful margin. Then he swooped down again, skimming along the level field on the other side of the road.
On the evening of Thursday we were visited by a gentleman from Monterey, a Mr. Larkin, who, I believe, is connected with the States Government, and who has arrived in the diggings with the view of making a report to the authorities at Washington. Don Luis immediately recognised him, and invited him to spend the evening and night in our tent.
Larkin always let me off. And I had plenty of time to read and for that matter I do here, if I lock myself up in this room. That low library over there is full of my father's books." Again Peter's voice had a tinge of merriment in it. "And who supported the family?" he asked in a lower voice. "My father." "And who supported him?" The question brought Jack to a full stop.
He stopped out in the open, near the line where dark shadow of the wall met the silver moonlight on the grass, and here, by a huge flat stone where he had come often alone and sometimes with Ruth, he faced Fay Larkin in the spirit to tell her gently that he knew her, and sternly to force her secret from her. "Am I your friend?" he began. "Ah! my only friend," she said.
