The lands are worth many times the price paid for them." "I see and they have some sort of an offer as well eh?" "A half loaf is better than no bread," I assented. "I think I ought to go out there and examine all this in detail." "But one thing I don't understand about this," began Colonel Sheraton, "your father's partner, Colonel Meriwether, was on joint paper with him.
Under the circumstances I did not care to intrude my personal matters, so I did not mention the cause or explain the nature of my mission in the West. "I suppose that you rarely came into our county either, but went down the Shenandoah when you journeyed to Washington?" I said simply, "I myself have never met Colonel Meriwether."
He was the umpire of all the private differences of his county, selected always by both parties. He was also the guardian of Meriwether Lewis, of whom we are now to speak, and who had lost his father at an early age.
Until the moment Ellen Meriwether began the signing of her name, I swear I had forgotten that ever in the world was another by name of Grace Sheraton! I may not be believed I ought not to be believed; but this is the truth and the truth by what measure my love for Ellen Meriwether was bright and fixed, as much as my promise to the other had been ill-advised and wrong.
The thought gave me pain, and perhaps this showed on my face, for my eyes followed her so that presently she turned and came back to me. "Does the wound hurt you?" she asked. "Are you in pain?" "Yes, Ellen Meriwether," I said, "I am in pain. I am in very great pain." "Oh," she cried, "I am sorry! What can we do? What do you wish?

"Never mind about Colonel Meriwether," rejoined my hostess, "we'll find him later he's up the river somewhere. Always take care of the important things first.
If you mean anything regarding Ellen Meriwether, I have to tell you, or any one, that she is clean mind, body, soul, heart as clean as when I saw her first." "Do you know, I like you for saying that!" she retorted. "I would never marry a man who knew nothing of other women I don't want a milksop; and I would not marry a man who would not lie for the sake of a sweetheart. You lie beautifully!
The history of the suffrage movement in Tennessee filled only five pages of the volume preceding this one, which ended with 1900, and such as there was had been due principally to that dauntless pioneer, Mrs. Lide A. Meriwether of Memphis, to whom this chapter is reverently and gratefully dedicated.
Meriwether, a Virginian, and hence suspected of Southern sympathy, was like many other Army officers at the time, shifted to points where his influence would be less felt, President Buchanan to the contrary notwithstanding.
