Already Manley had disappeared, and the snow went thundering down. For a moment I felt inclined to let myself glide down also. Just then I heard a voice; it was Manley shouting out to us not to attempt to come to his rescue. When about to be hurled over the edge of the precipice, he had clutched the jutting rock, and held on for his life, while the snow went rushing by under his feet.
"Only his presence in the street was needed to complete the picture of desolation. He has been in a fight, judging from his face. It is all bruised and skinned, and one eye is swollen ugh! My guide, my adviser is it possible, Manley, that you couldn't find a nice man to meet me at the train?" She turned from the disagreeable sight of Kent and faced her husband. "Are all the men like that?
Blumenthall spoke a last, commonplace sentence or two, just to round off the conversation and make the termination not too abrupt, and they rode away, with Polycarp glancing curiously back, now and then, as though he was tempted to stay and gossip, and yet was anxious to know all that had happened at the Double Diamond. "What did Polycarp Jenks mean about Manley not coming to-night?"
Bickerstaff 's friends, it was not remarkable that such authoresses as Mrs. Manley and Mrs. Haywood should be dismissed from notice as infamous scribbling women.
I can let you have five pounds, and you can pay me," he said with a laugh, "out of your share of our first prize-money." The boys colored hotly. "No, thank you, Captain Manley; we have plenty of money. Shall we bring the pistols to your quarters?" "Do, lads, I am going in to lunch now, and will be in in half an hour." The boys at once went out and ordered their knapsacks.
When out upon our road about 30 miles, near Ypsilanti, the thick forest we had been passing through grew thinner, and the trees soon dwindled down into what they called oak openings, and the road became more sandy. When we reached McCracken's Tavern we began to enquire for Ebenezer Manley and family, and were soon directed to a large house near by where he was stopping for a time.
Really, she was not thinking of Manley at all, nor of his mood, nor of his brutal coarseness. She was thinking of the rebuilt typewriter, advertised as being exactly as good as a new one, and scandalously cheap, for which she had sold her watch to Arline Hawley to get money to buy.
"You could not have a more trustworthy one than my friend, Ralph Middlemore," answered Manley. "He knows the mountains better than any white man we are likely to find; and as for Indians, I would not put confidence in one of them." Of course, I at once expressed my willingness to undertake the duty proposed; and the expedition was speedily arranged.
Then Mr. Manley said in a musing tone: "Do you suppose that Colonel Grey finds her simple?" "What? You don't think that there is really anything serious between them?" said Mr. Flexen quickly. "No, not really serious at any rate, on Colonel Grey's part. You can hardly expect a man, recovering very slowly from three bad wounds and still crocked up, to fall in love, can you?
Sometimes I have felt inclined to be judge as well as investigator especially in the East." "And you followed your inclination," said Mr. Manley with amiable certainty. "Perhaps perhaps not," said Mr. Flexen, smiling at him. "The war has upset everything. I never heard such ideas before the war," grumbled the lawyer. There was a silence as Holloway brought in the coffee and cigars.
