But it was a Thursday afternoon, I remember, and a beautiful autumn day, and I walked along to the garage with that delicious feeling of anticipation that tingle of happiness to come that made my heart bound with love of the little red wagon. I was just telling Bert to get it out when I turned around, and there was Morty sitting in it not four feet away from me.
"It's just about as I expected: Morty didn't have anything whatever to do with it except to sign and send it as she commanded him to." And the penciled sheet was folded carefully and filed in permanence in the inner breast pocket of his brown duck shooting-coat. The moon was rising behind the eastern mountain when he extinguished the candle and went out.
Dismay, despair, wretchedness, misery, distraction, frenzy, were all struggling for expression in his countenance. He was followed by Lord Cullamore, who, when about to proceed home, had changed his mind, and returned for Lady Emily. He advanced, still supported by Morty, and approaching Lucy, took her hand, and said,
I found I could run it as well as ever with the aid of a treasure of a Chinaman she had discovered. But I never told Morty." Alexina laughed. "Better not. But you could run it and live with us all the same." "No. I have too little time. I'd waste it coming back and forth, for I must be here some time every day....Besides..." "Your own precious atmosphere?" "You do understand!"
And if she understood, would she know that he had gone to the meeting well-nigh without hope, aware against what skill he pitted himself, and how large, how very large were the odds against him? "But, faith, and it's no jest fighting him, if the least bit in life of what I've heard be true!" Morty said, a cloud on his face. He looked uncertainly from Asgill to the house and back.
The man who marries her will have to know his grandfather's middle name and a good bit more besides." Winton's laugh was mockingly good-natured. "You have missed your calling by something more than a hair's-breadth, Morty. You should have been a novelist. Give you a spike and a cross-tie and you'd infer a whole railroad. But you pique my curiosity.
Be awful nice to see you again, old Morty." "Same here. Goo'-by." Gazing across the table at Miggleton's, Mr.
Alexina knew that she had an antagonist far worthier of any weapons she might find in her armory than poor Morty, but she believed she could trap her if she were guilty....And she must be...she must.... "Didn't you find it too hot in the tropics for writing?" "I only copied and revised. The book was finished before I left Lake Tahoe-an ideal place for work.
"It's not worth the shoe-leather!" Morty cried after her, letting his scorn of James be seen. But she was out of hearing, and when she returned a minute later she was followed, not by James McMurrough, but by Colonel Sullivan. The Colonel's face, seen in the full light, had lost the brown of health; it was thin and peaky, and still bore signs of privation.
"Are you looking for your brother?" he asked suavely. "I am not," Morty answered, with a gloomy look. "Nor for The McMurrough?" "I am not. I am thinking," he added, with a grin, "that he has his hands full with the young lady." Colonel John was somewhat startled. "What's the matter?" he asked. "Oh, two minds in a house. Sorrow a bit more than that. It's no very new thing in a family," Morty added.
