Jackson was desired to cover Longstreet's left; and sending Starke and Lawton across the meadows, strewn with the bloody debris of Porter's onslaught, he instructed Hill to advance en echelon with his left "refused." Anticipating the order, the commander of the Light Division was already sweeping through the Groveton wood.
'May! responded Miss Lawton lamely. The other girl was named May too May Deane, child of the well-known majolica manufacturer, who lived with his sons and daughter in a solitary and ancient house at Toft End.
"Yes, please, Emily; send them to me one at a time, in the ante-room, and let me know when Agnes Olson and Margaret Hefferman come in. I wish to talk with all four of them, but separately." Loretta Murfree was the first to put in an appearance. She was a short, dumpy, black-haired girl of twenty, and she bounced into the room with a flashing, wide-mouthed smile. "How are you, dear Miss Lawton?
"Well, if a man is old and rich he may drink, for he will have the sympathy of his sober friends and the support of his drinking ones." In 1880 General Toombs appeared in Atlanta, and addressed the Georgia Legislature in behalf of the candidacy of General A. R. Lawton for the United States Senate. His appearance, as he walked up the aisle, grim, venerable, and determined, awoke wild applause.
Lawton regarded her with a mingled expression of pity and admiration; then shaking his head doubtingly, he continued, "I hope so; and with your permission, we will leave the matter for his decision." The color of Frances changed from the paleness of fear to the glow of hope.

"Craig," I remonstrated, "you don't mean to say you attach any importance to vapourings like that? Why, there wasn't a thing the fellow couldn't have imagined from the newspapers, even the clumsy description of Dudley Lawton." "We'll see," he replied cheerfully, as we stopped under a light to read the address of the next seer, who happened to be in the same block.
It is gloomy here, I admit, but still, it has its advantages. They thought my rendezvous was ten miles to the north. Lord, what fools they were! Lawton bit at the letter I let him seize as though it were pork. Ah, if it had not been for Jason! Well, everything must have an ending."
She had, if she followed her usual course, to pass the Wellwood Inn, but she could diverge, and by taking a side street and walking a half-mile farther reach home without coming in sight of the inn. She did so to-day. When she reached the side street she turned rather swiftly and gave a little sigh of relief. She was afraid that she might meet Harry Lawton. It was a lonely way.
Only two living persons beside the coroner knew the truth, and Blaine felt sure that the gentle spirit of Anita Lawton would be merciful her thirst for vengeance upon her father's murderer sated by his self-inflicted death to those of his blood, who, innocent, must be dragged in the mire by the disclosure of his infamy.
