"Miss Malone, you spoke of your going home to work at making yourself into 'the adorable girl' I had in my mind when I wrote your part. It oughtn't" he faltered, growing red "it oughtn't to take much much work!" And, breathless, he followed the genially waiting Packer. "Your overcoat, Mr. Potter!" called that faithful servitor as Potter was going out through the theatre with old Tinker and Canby.
I didn't try to look round. But I kept yellin' every little while; an' all at once a voice answered right over my head. I tell you it sounded good, if 'twasn't much of a voice. It was Steevens, my packer, lookin' down at me. "'Hello, what in h are ye doin' down there, Job? he demanded. "'Waiting fer you to git a rope an' hoist me up! says I. 'But look out fer the bear!
Grimes, the carpenter here, has received orders from your agent about the work. It may probably be the case that the site has been chosen by Mr. Packer, and not by your lordship. As no real delay to the building can at this time of the year arise from a short postponement of the beginning, I have asked Mr. Grimes to desist till I shall have written to you on the subject.
I was somewhat surprised. "You're not in such a great distress just because it has been a rainy day!" "Ain't I just!" he exclaimed. "It's been and gone and ruined me, this day has. Look 'ere, guv'nor, I'll tell you all about it. I've been out of work, see? I was in 'orspital for three months and I couldn't get nothing regular to do when I come out. I'm a packer by trade.
He became very liberal of all that cost him nothing; took pains to find a packer; declared the man asked too much for his cases; insisted on making them himself out of old planks; got up early in the morning to fit and plane and nail together the strips, out of which he made, to his own satisfaction, some strong cases, in which he packed all Charles's effects; he also took upon himself to send them by boat down the Loire, to insure them, and get them to Nantes in proper time.
Thus spake, without emotion, Packer, the stage-manager; but out in the dusky auditorium, Stewart Canby, the new playwright, began to tremble. It was his first rehearsal. He and one other sat in the shadowy hollow of the orchestra, two obscure little shapes on the floor of the enormous cavern.
Moreover, Cora was an admirable cook and packer. Colina was not enamored of the drudgery of camp. Marya led the way slowly through the trackless bush in the general direction of the afternoon sun, or southwest. Colina guessed that they were making a wide detour around the Indian village.
Paul was himself a man now; he had coerced him at the last, neither did he understand. The blind instinct of flight began after a while to shape its own direction. It was no new leaning with the packer. As many times as he had crossed this trail he never had failed to experience the same pull. He resisted no longer. He gave way to strange fancies and made them his guides.
He had 105, while Andrew Johnson had 65, Judge Church 34, General Hancock 33, Packer 26, English 16, with the remainder scattering. President Johnson had a higher vote than was expected, but after the first ballot it immediately and rapidly declined. On the second ballot Pendleton fell of to 99, but recovered on the third, rising to 119, and thereafter slowly declining.
John Packer was always good-tempered when the wind was in the south. The milder air, which relaxed too much the dispositions of less energetic men, and made them depressed and worthless, only softened and tempered him into reasonableness.
