Miss Kiametia fingered her gown nervously. "You were in Baltimore when the newspapers published Spencer's will, and this afternoon Dr. McLane interrupted us," she began. "Is it really true that Sinclair Spencer left Kathleen a small fortune?" "Yes. On investigation, I find he held valuable stock, as well as improved real estate of known value."
The general has full powers at last, and you are sure of your commission. Now I must leave you." A few more needed words were said, and I drew aside to see the staff ride away. In a few minutes the young aide came back. "You may join McLane at once. You will have an acting commission until a more formal one reaches you. I suppose you have no news?"
He was sent for, and it was settled that McLane and I were to conduct this important mission, and the commodore enjoined on us complete secrecy, so as to insure success, and he especially cautioned us against being pumped by his ward-room officers, Chapman, Lewis, Wise, etc., while on board his ship.
Cannon administered, she set before them two fiery bowls, and cried: "Come in yer, Colonel McLane, an' jine my nug an' my young cousin Levin." "No, Patty," answered a voice from the next room within; "I've drunk my share. There's nothing like a conservative course."
"And I suppose you still work all night, Dad, disobeying Dr. McLane's orders." "I don't take orders from McLane," shortly. "And I didn't work very late last night. Your mother came up and tried some of her Sisters in Unity persuasion upon me, and I capitulated." Mrs. Whitney did not take the jest in good part.
Maria spoke hopefully, although the fates seemed to have nothing in pickle for her erratic mate. "Mrs. McLane has not yet told us " "Oh, but they are! Quite the happiest couple I have ever seen, and likely to remain so. That's a case of true love if ever there was one. I mislaid my skepticism all the time I was in Berlin a whole month!" "Abominable!" rumbled Mrs. Abbott.
The sergeant soon returned, saying that Nash had gone over to Napa, but would be back that evening; so McLane and I went up to a farm of some pretensions, occupied by one Andreas Hoepner, with a pretty Sitka wife, who lived a couple of miles above Sonoma, and we bought of him some chickens, pigs, etc.
Is her grand air as noticeable among all those court people as it was here?" "Oh, mamma, mamma, you are so tiresome!" Mrs. McLane had had time to drink a second cup of tea. "My head spins. Where shall I begin? The gowns she wore in Berlin were made at Worth's. Where else? She still wears golden-brown, and amber, and green sometimes azure blue at night.
Verplanck, Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, each drew up a plan for lessening the burdens of the tariff. Mr. McLane had just returned from a successful mission to Great Britain, and had the advantage of considerable personal popularity. He was a moderate protectionist, and with great pains drew up a scheme of duties which kept the protection of home manufactures in view.
It was a lively party that finally sat down, and it was the gayest if the most momentous of Masters' little functions. His eyes strayed toward Madeleine more than once, for her success had excited her and she had never looked lovelier. She was at the other end of the table and Mrs. McLane and Mrs. Ballinger sat beside him.
