Barrington, how can we ever thank you," and a dozen other glad acknowledgments. They were all tired enough to tumble into bed, with no thought of tricks to disturb them. Miss Nevins admitted that she had a first class time. "Only I wish I had been up in more dances. And if they'd had some fancy dances! I do love them so!" "Hardly at such a party," said Phillipa, dryly.
After dinner Mrs. Barrington summoned Miss Arran and laid the matter before her. She listened with a kind of terrified interest. "I can't believe Miss Boyd would tell such a dreadful falsehood, when she saw the necessity of the truth. Mrs. Dane has very strong prejudices. That Nevins girl is about her size and has a long braid of fair hair."
A seal ring that Nevins used to wear and some letters were all he had to leave, and these had been duly forwarded to the address of his wife, whose pathetic inquiries for further particulars elicited nothing more reliable than that Nevins was dead and buried, and that was the end of him. The quartermaster got "transportation" for them to New Orleans.
Barrington would let us go over with Miss Davis, I am sure, and as she keeps samples we could choose, and she could take your measure. I don't believe it would cost half as much, and will be prettier. Your clothes are too old." "Oh, you are an angel," and May had to submit to an embrace. Mrs. Barrington agreed. She gave Miss Nevins some money.
See how her eyes roll." "Do you think the pony will bite?" asked Lillie Nevins, Grace's chum, who overheard the girl from Rose Ranch. "Goodness! I should hope so. She's got teeth," laughed Rhoda. "But I mean that probably she is skittish will shy at the least little thing. And perhaps she will run away if she gets the chance."
But the defense insisted on other witnesses a local locksmith who had sold Nevins keys that would open any trunk, a hotel porter who swore that the blinds to Loring's room had been forcibly opened from without, a bell boy who had seen Nevins on the gallery at that window three nights before the search of the luggage was made. And the court waxed impatient and said it had had more than enough.
"That is just as I have planned matters should stand before the convening of the delegates," replies Nevins, with a self-complacent smile. "All of the older men will have spoken before you are called upon.
"So here is where you are to end a life of mammon-worship," Nevins mutters as he steps upon the platform of the forward car. He bends down, and with a strong, quick jerk uncouples the rear car. For a few seconds the detached car keeps up with the train, then as its momentum is exhausted, a rapidly widening gap is made.
The following incidents are gathered from a pamphlet, published in the early days of the nineteenth century, by Thomas Nevins, a New England whaler: "A remarkable instance of the power which the whale possesses in its tail was exhibited within my own observation in the year 1807.
And with a snap that was heard all over the assemblage the lead of Loring's pencil broke short off. He sat staring at Nevins, white and stunned. The sutler's "shack" at Camp Cooke was crowded with officers that evening and the episode of Nevins' address was the talk of all tongues.
