But then, he did not know the danger in which their two visitors had placed themselves by their recent theft. Danger will strengthen the courage of the timid, and, in this case, it decided Mosely to commit a new theft. The robbers were quite five miles away when Ben opened his eyes.
Only two names came to Charity's searching mind Jim Dyckman's impossible name and one that was so sublimely unfit that she laughed as she uttered it. "There's the Reverend Doctor Mosely." Hodshon tried to laugh. "I was reading head-lines of a sermon of his. He's down on divorce." "That's why he'd be the ideal witness," said Charity. "But would he come?" "Of course not," she laughed.
Donkyn adopted a free and easy style with Sir Charles, and that gentleman marked his sense of the indignity by turning him out of the room, and kicking him industriously half-way down the passage. Messrs. Mosely and Donkyn retired to Highmore. Bassett was particularly pleased at the baronet having kicked Donkyn; so was Wheeler; so was Dr. Mosely. Donkyn alone did not share the general enthusiasm.
He wore a high silk hat and a white carnation in his buttonhole. He looked neither to the right nor to the left. Apparently he was the one man in sight who was not concerned about the question of what had become or would become of the William J. Mosely Estate.
"Did you get into any trouble about it, stranger?" asked Mosely, with a shade of anxiety. "No; none of the party dared touch me. Besides, I did the handsome thing. I had the man buried, and put a stone over him. I couldn't do any more, could I?" "No," said Mosely dubiously, and he drew a little farther away from Bradley. "What do you find to eat?" he inquired, after a pause.
I am surprised to hear you ridiculing the institution of Christian marriage, but your ridicule does not prove it to be ridiculous." "Oh, it's not ridiculous to me, Doctor Mosely; and I'm not ridiculing it. I am horribly afraid of what it has done to me and will do to me." "Explain that, my dear." She did explain with all bluntness: "My husband openly lives with a mistress. He prefers her to me."
Morpeth, who knew her abroad, I understand is entirely broken off; some say the father objected to Mr. Morpeth's want of fortune; others that the lady was fickle, while some accuse the gentleman of the same vice. Don't you think it shocking to jilt, in either sex, Mr. Mosely?" The retiring Mr.
Evidently that cuss isn't here, but he's likely to come by and by. If so, nab him if you can, and if you can't, fire two shots. Mosely, are you heeled?" "Do I chaw terbaccy?" asked Mosely, ironically, clearly insulted at the suggestion that he would travel without a gun. "Then keep a sharp lookout, and listen to everything you hear, especially the whereabouts of some letters.
The funeral procession was a long one, and included all the finest automobiles and all the best people in Jordantown not that the best people had ever known the deceased, but most of them sustained anxious, interest-bearing relations to the William J. Mosely Estate. No one was weeping. No one was even looking sad. Everybody was talking.
"Can't say yet, Stark; don't want to give myself away, but I'm buying my collars at the Co-Citizens' Coöperative League Emporium!" he said, winking his eye and drawing up the corner of his mouth in a most offensive manner. This reference to the women's coöperative store was far from being a joke. The first floor of the old Mosely residence had been divided in half with a partition.
