The Sayre girls are coming to us to-night, but Mrs. Sayre has some older guests, and she couldn't come." "Well, let's ask Mrs. Dennison. No, she's away, I know. How about Mrs. Lockwood?" "She's ill; Lena told me so this morning. Oh, Patty, shall I have to send them all word not to come?" "Looks that way to me. And I'm sorry to do that, too. How many are asked, Mona?"
He gave the name of Robert Lockwood, and when Putnam demanded to know what he had been doing near the camp without a permit he said that he was bound by a promise not to tell. "Are you a patriot?" asked the general. "I am a royalist. I do not sympathize with rebellion. I have been a man of peace in this war."
Reflecting on the tangle of events, the strange actions of Lockwood and the ambitions of Whitney, I retraced my steps in the direction of the laboratory, convinced that de Moche had employed at least a part of his time lately in spying on us. Perhaps he had seen Inez going in and out.
"You're a brave girl," he said, "and I suppose you've come for your reward. Well, what is it to be?" "I want a pass for Robert Lockwood. He is the royalist I spoke of, but he will not betray you, for he is not a soldier; and his visits make me very happy." "The spy you hanged this morning," whispered an aide in Putnam's ear. "Give her the pass and say nothing of what has happened."
Lockwood took the brick from the safe, strapped it into the mail-bag, and Chino, swinging it across his shoulders, was gone, leaving Lockwood to hop back to the sofa, there to throw himself down and face once more his trouble. What made it harder for Lockwood just now was that even on that very day, in spite of all precaution, in spite of all good resolutions, he had at last seen Felice.
She mixed another tumbler full of maraschino punch, and drank one good half of it before she spoke again. 'It has everything to do with my new play, was all she said. 'Answer me. Francis answered her. 'Miss Lockwood may be here in a week. Or, for all I know to the contrary, sooner than that. 'Very well. Once again, will you read it? 'I will certainly read it.
"I can sympathize with you the more deeply," she went on, "because only lately I have lost a very dear brother myself. Already I have told Professor Kennedy something about it. It was a matter of which I felt I must speak to you, for it may concern you, in the venture in which Mr. Lockwood and your father were associated, and into which now Mr. Whitney has entered."
Mary Walker, to the female mayors of Wyoming, to the presidential ambitions of Mrs. Belva Lockwood; but these are mere adjuncts, not explanations, of the question under consideration.
Then she became a personality; she occupied a place within the circle which Lockwood called his world, his life. For the past months this place had, perforce, to be enlarged. Lockwood allowed it to expand. To make room for Felice, he thrust aside, or allowed the idea of Felice to thrust aside, other objects which long had sat secure.
Public meetings were held, and at the annual election of trustees, Mr. Lockwood was at the bottom of the poll. At the next meeting of the board, after the election, my father carried a resolution which rescinded Mr. Lockwood's. The rector's defeat was followed by a series of newspaper letters in his defence from the Rev. Edward Swann, mathematical master in the Grammar School.
