But Alice had been a prisoner for ten years now, and the mother and sister who idolized her feared that she would never again be the old dancing Alice and feared that she knew it. What Christopher Liggett feared they did not know. He insisted that Alice's illness was but temporary, and was tireless in his energetic pursuit of treatment for his wife.
They locked the apartment, and walked slowly down Broadway, as they had walked so many thousand times before, in the streaming Sunday crowds. Before they had gone a block Wolf opened hostilities by asking abruptly: "Where did you go to church this morning?" Norma flushed, and laughed a little. "I went down to the Cathedral; I'm fond of it, you know. Why?" "Did you meet Chris Liggett?" Wolf asked.
If you will just believe me that I wouldn't truly I wouldn't! hurt you and Aunt Kate for all the world " "Ah, Norma," he said, quickly, "I can't take my wife on those terms!" And turning from the ticket window he added, sensibly: "Liggett is tied, of course. But would you like me to leave you here when I go West? Until you are surer of yourself one way or another? You only have to say so!"
It had seemed the beginning of some vaguely dreamed-of progress toward a life of beauty and achievement, but it was two weeks ago now, and its glamour was fading. True, Christopher Liggett had come into Biretta's bookstore, with Leslie, and he and Norma had talked together for a few minutes, and Leslie had extended her Aunt Alice's kind invitation for tea.
Alice laid her hand upon Norma's reassuringly. "My dear, you know I don't think you hinted! But I want to do it. I can't" Alice said, smiling "I can't do anything for little Miss Aladdin here, and it gives me the greatest pleasure, now and then " "I want to tell you something about Mrs. Liggett," Acton said; "she's got a grasping nature and a mean soul you can see that!
The earliest overland stage line to Great Salt Lake was established by Hockaday and Liggett. After the founding of the famous Overland Stage Company by Russell, Majors, and Waddell in 1858, stages were soon ascending the Platte from the steamboat terminals on the Missouri and making the twelve hundred miles from St. Joseph to Salt Lake City in ten days.
"Yes it does! And why? Because I was afraid I was beginning to care too much for Chris Liggett because I knew he loved me, he had told me so! and I went to you because I wanted to be safe and I told you so, too, Wolf Sheridan, the very day that we were married! I never lied to you! I told you I loved Chris, that I always had!
Norma went to her room, too, but she sat dreaming before the mirror, thinking of that Melrose house, and of Leslie's friendliness, until Rose came in at eleven o'clock. At almost this same moment Norma's self was the subject of a rather unusual talk between Christopher Liggett and his wife.
Did Norma, as she gave the master of the house her hand, have sudden memory of all her recent absurd extravagances in his name the games, the surmises, the wild statements that had had Chris Liggett as their inspiration? If she did, she gave no sign of it beyond the bright flush with which she greeted her oldest acquaintance in this group.
She was brought into sharp contact with another girl, only slightly her senior, who had everything that this new turn of fortune had given Norma herself, and a thousand times more. Norma saw older women, the important and influential matrons of the social world, paying court to the promised wife of Acton Liggett.
