He is most decided and so dreadfully upset about it all, because he says it was he who urged the marriage upon her." I spent the following fifteen or twenty minutes as a sort of messenger-boy between Mrs Peters in the dining-room and Carrie Waverly in my sitting-room.
"Come this way, miss," said the messenger, who was a tall youth, polite and deferential, and who appeared not at all surprised at the order given him. "I'll take you along all right." He piloted Patty with great care and after riding for some distance on the street cars, they arrived at Mrs. Fleming's house. The messenger-boy rang the door bell, and a white-capped maid opened the door.
The hazy morning light revealed a small, lithe figure, scarcely taller than the messenger-boy that stood before her; a fair, white face; calm, gray eyes; hair with a glint of golden brown, which waved and rippled about a low, broad brow, and was gathered in a great shining coil behind; and a mouth clear-cut and firm, but now drawn and quivering with deep emotion.
A messenger-boy entered with a despatch, but it contained no information, merely an assurance from a devoted New England adherent that he believed Jimmy Grayson was elected, as he felt it in his bones. "Why does a man waste time and money in telegraphing us a thing like that?" said Dexter. "It isn't worth anything." But Harley was not so sure.
After Rumson had joined Wharton and Bissell the note arrived. It was brought to the restaurant by a messenger-boy, who said that in answer to a call from a saloon on Sixth Avenue he had received it from a young man in ready-to-wear clothes and a green hat.
"You look exactly like a going-away bride. What " Cora spoke rapidly: "Laura, I want you to take this bag and keep it in your room till a messenger-boy comes for it. When the bell rings, go to the door yourself, and hand it to him. Don't give Hedrick a chance to go to the door. Just give it to the boy; and don't say anything to mamma about it. I'm going downtown and I may not be back."
They ranged from a messenger-boy evidently misusing his company's time to an immemorial individual with a gnarled body and a gnarled cane. Some of the men were seedy, with sunken cheeks and puffy pink eyes others were young; possibly still in high school.
After all, I had only picked up another clue. Kennedy was not at the apartment at dinner, and an inquiry at the laboratory was fruitless also. So I sat down to fidget for a while. Pretty soon the buzzer on the door sounded, and I opened it to find a messenger-boy with a large brown paper parcel. "Is Mr. Bruce here?" he asked.
Barker had feared to leave his side, and summoned the doctor and messenger-boy by telephone. When I entered, however, the doctor had not arrived." "It was a thousand pities that you were too late. He wished to make some important statement to you, without a doubt." "I rushed to him at once, but, alas! was just too late."
If he don't come in an hour, it will be too late. If he brings anybody with him, he won't be told anything. Leave your car in the road and walk up the drive. Ida Earle." Hewitt, who had sent away the messenger-boy and had been called in to give expert advice, was enthusiastic. "Mr. District Attorney," he cried, "that's no crank letter. This Earle woman is wise.
