It is autumn there now; so you see on the cellar door and under the front windows, crooked necked squashes and round yellow pumpkins, mellowing in the warm sunbeams. Strings of dried apples are festooned from chamber windows; and paper bags of catnip and spearmint and thoroughwort and penny-royal and mullen hang drying on the garret walls.
Well, what can you tell Mrs. Carringford?" "Nothing much about that Mullen Lane property, I fear, that she will want to hear." "Too bad, too bad," said Broxton Day. "I am sorry for her. She is a hard working woman and proud. No chance of helping her?" "I can settle the case for five hundred dollars. I cannot connect Abel Strout with this shake-down for that is what it is.
Lifting my cane, I returned with a determination to kill the snake. I stooped down very low to ascertain the precise position of its head, which was concealed by a large mullen leaf I saw its eyes and its bill " "What!" exclaimed Joe, rising up on his elbow with unwonted vigour, and his eyes riveted on the speaker. "Yes, its bill", continued Boone.
Patrick Mullen died just before I began my search for your father, but in digging around for facts about him, I learned that he had made a limited number of very fine guns, on each of which he had stamped his full name, ‘Patrick Mullen.’ Other guns of an inferior quality that he made bore the simple stamp of ‘P. Mullen.’ The old man was very proud of each ‘Patrick Mullen’ that he turned out and like the true artist that he was he kept track of each one, sold them only to men he knew and when the owner died he bought the gun back himself so that he always knew its whereabouts.
One hand had 'twined in the death grasp round the reed-like stem of the mullen plant we unclosed it, and it sprung back, tall and straight as before; something glittered in the other 'twas the half of De Clairville's golden locket how it came to be in his possession was strange, but we thought not of it then.
"Everything about him is impossible his history, family ... Why, Eunice Scofield, well, Penny, married a man from behind a counter, a fellow who sold womens' gloves; yes, and more than half Jew. And this man's mother was Delia Mullen, a daughter of the dirty ward leader. All this aside from from his bad blood." "It's partly yours, you know," she said quietly.
When you ax me to pin my faith on any p'int, be it for this world or the next, my first question consarnin' it is whether that particular p'int happens to be pleasant. 'Tis that little small argyment of mine that has confounded Mr. Mullen more than once, when he meets me on equal ground outside the pulpit.
Again I heard her shriek she vanished from me, but the phantom form still stood. I reached it, and that thing of fear was but a gigantic weed a tall mullen that had outgrown the others on the very spot where we had found the body of Conrad; the waving of its flexile head and long pale leaves, shining with moonlight, were the motions we had seen but where was Ella?
I was very happy when informed by Father Mullen that you had received six premiums at the examination; nothing else would more impress my heart than to hear of the success of your scholastic studies.
She glanced up, for there was a sound of wheels on the road, and Mr. Mullen drove by again, sitting very erect, and uncovering, with a graceful bend, to some one who was visible at the front. Her face flushed suddenly to the colour of the brickdust, and she felt that the confusion in her soul must fill the universe with noise. Quiet and sober, indeed, if he could only have heard it!
