Thus adjured, Pardee opened the letter and read: "MULBERRY HILL Saturday, Oct. 8, 1871. "MY DEAR MISS AINSLIE: "Captain Pardee informed us yesterday of your nobly disinterested action in regard to the estate rightfully belonging to you. Words cannot express my gratitude for the consideration you have shown to our feelings in thus shielding the memory of the dead. Mr.
I hope there may be something to show that my grandfather did not act dishonorably," he replied. "But suppose suppose there should not be; what would be the effect?" "Legally, Mr. Pardee says, there is little chance that any valid claim can be set up under it. The probabilities are, he says, that the lapse of time will bar any such claim.
In sudden fright and resolve Milly Pardee sold the furnishings of the four-room flat, packed the peripatetic linen and silver, and joined a surprised and rather markedly unenthusiastic husband in Okoochee, Oklahoma. A wife and a fifteen-year-old daughter take a good deal of explaining on the part of one who has posed for three years as a bachelor.
Pardee and father soon cleared five or six acres of this land, and with the brush they cut made a light brush fence around it, then tore up three or four acres and planted it with corn. The soil was light yellow sand. When the corn came up it was small and yellow. They put in about two acres of buckwheat. A young man by the name of William Beal worked for Pardee. He helped to tend the corn.
That land is near me, and I have seen a great many crops growing on it, both grain and other crops, but never one which I thought would pay the husbandman for his labor. Father's partnership with Mr. Pardee, no more. He sold half of his oxen to Asa Blare, who paid the money down, so their partnership opened in a little better shape.
"When Jake came home from mack'reling, He sought his Sary Ann, And found that she, the heartless thing, Had found another man!" "Do please say that they were mackerelers!" "I am sorry I cannot relieve your anxiety on that point," said Pardee, but I can assure you they were a very respectable family." "No doubt, as families go 'there," she answered, with some bitterness.
"Yeh," said Arnold Hatch, one evening, when they were talking in the Pardee back yard. It was nine o'clock. Dishes done. A moon. October. Maxine had just murmured her little quatrain. They were standing by the hedge of pampas grass that separated the Pardee yard from Hatch's next door. "Yeh," said Arnold Hatch. "Likewise: "There's Seminole and Shawnee, Apache, Agawam.
I could see Mr. Pardee and his sons when they came out in the morning and went to their work. I could look to the east and there, joining ours, was the clearing and house of Mr. Asa Blare, and he could be seen. Then it began to seem as if others were living in Michigan, for we could see them. The light of civilization began to dawn upon us.
Judge Pardee, a bibulous and oracular limb of the law, had been chosen inquisitor-general, with powers to call for all the news that was stowed away in that secretive "knowledge-box" on the shoulders of the Engineer. Gate City had resolved and "'lowed" that a man reputed to know so much should be held up and compelled to part with at least a little.
"Certainly," said Pardee, "there can be no objection on my part. I merely called your attention to the fact as a part of my duty as your legal adviser." So Miss Hetty remained sitting upon the side of the bed, holding one of the invalid's hands.
