One word brought on two, and as it was late in the afternoon, and the paper was out, we bade Beverly sit down and tell us the story of his life, and his real name; for Miss Larrabee had declared a dozen times that Beverly Amidon sounded so much like a stage name that she was willing to bet that his real name was Jabez Skaggs.
"There isn't a court in the army that would sentence him to more than a brief confinement to limits, and reprimand." Yet Mrs. Sumter spoke with much less confidence than on Saturday. Had not her husband had to tell her his application for leave was withdrawn, and why? Had not Doctor Larrabee admitted to her that the colonel spoke of misdeeds far more serious for which Lanier must suffer?
'The Apollo-like beauty of the groom." Miss Larrabee groaned as she rose, and putting her raincoat on the floor by her chair she exclaimed: "Do you people know what I am going to do? I have got to lie right down here and have a fit!" "By the Rod of His Wrath"
Worthington called the Worthington mansion, and she turned up her nose at those who worshipped under the towers, turrets and minarets of the Conklin mosque, and played the hose of her ridicule on their outer wall that she might have it spotless for a target when she got ready to raze it with her big gun. The week that Ellen Vail Montgomery came to town was a busy one for Miss Larrabee.
At ten o'clock our entire party, seven in number, entered the office of Squire Ward, where the preliminary examination was to take place. "You are the fellow that stole the money Ethan sent me," squealed Miss Larrabee, as I entered the office. "Not much," I replied. "O, but I know you did it; Ham Fishley says so, and I reckon he knows who took it."
He was positively shocked, he wrote, at what he heard of the doings at the Country Club so different from the way things went in Tiffin, Ohio. For a long time we did not hear his name mentioned in the office. Finally there came a letter addressed to Miss Larrabee. In it Beverly said that he had found his affinity.
When straight-fronts became stylish, Miss Larrabee was a vertical marvel, and when she rolled up her sleeves and organized a country club, she referred to her shoes as boots and took the longest steps in town. But with it all she was no mere clothes-horse.
If I had ever known Larrabee Harman, if, instead of the two strange glimpses I had caught of him, I had been familiar with his gesture, walk, intonation even, perhaps, if I had ever heard his voice the truth might have come to me long ago. Larrabee Harman! "Oliver Saffren" was Larrabee Harman.
Nevertheless, she contrasted her situation with that of the widow with a new and singular satisfaction. It might have been Red Pete who had escaped. But he had not the grit of the nameless one. She had already settled his heroic quality. "Ye ain't harkenin' to me, Salomy." Salomy Jane started. "Here I'm askin' ye if ye've see that hound Phil Larrabee sneaking by yer to-day?" Salomy Jane had not.
Miriam said she must obey, and nothing short of Doctor Larrabee, senior surgeon of the post, had prevailed against her decision. He himself had met the covered vehicle at his gate, and with calm but forceful courtesy had insisted on their alighting. "Your train is half a day late," said he. "You'll be wiser waiting here than at the frowsy station. Besides, I wish to see this young woman again."
