Connick removed his pipe when the door opened, and gazed under his hand, held edgewise to his forehead. "Why, hello, my bantam boy!" he bawled, in greeting. "What did you break out o' the wangan and run away for?" The fiddle stopped. The men crowded up from the bunks and deacons' seats. All were as curious as magpies. They gazed with interest on Parker's companion.
They put her up to capturing Bruce, and after she had acquired an influence over him they worked it so that she made him make love to Mrs. Parker. It's a long story, but that isn't all of it. The point was, you see, that by this devious route they hoped to worm out of Mrs. Parker some inside information about Parker's rubber schemes, which he hadn't divulged even to his partners in business.
General Meade discovering that the enemy had interposed at Parker's store between Wilson and the Fifth Corps, sent me word to go to Wilson's relief, and this was the first intimation I received that Wilson had been pushed out so far, but, surmising that he would retire in the direction of Todd's Tavern I immediately despatched Gregg's division there to his relief.
You tell her she needn't hev no fear of El; he can handle a boat as good as I kin." Molly unconsciously imitated Parker's manner of speaking. "Then it is true; of course it is," decided Polly. "Are you going to tell Aunt Ada?" "I don't know what to do. I feel as if I ought, and yet I feel sort of sorry for Mary.
The certificates to Bowyer and Douglas, certainly, and probably to Molloy, all of Parker's division, bore the stinging words that these officers "meant well, and would have done their duty had they been permitted." It is stated that their ships, which were the rear of the van division, were going down to engage close, following Rodney's example, when Parker made them a signal to keep the line.
"Bless my soul! Washed away!" gasped Mr. Damon. "And, in the course of a comparatively short time, it will sink," went on the scientist, as cheerfully as though he was a professor propounding some problem to his class. "Sink!" ejaculated Mrs. Nestor. "The whole island undermined! Oh, what an alarming theory!" "I wish I could hold to a different one, madam," was Mr. Parker's answer, "but I cannot.
Alone, the members of the Alpha and Omega Club, thanks to the benign influence of Parker's poison, received the successive waves of information with composure, and preserved from beginning to end their sense of proportion. "Heard the news? Muhlen's bolted." "I thought he would." "They say he owes a good deal." "Obviously. Else he wouldn't have bolted. Good riddance, anyhow." "That's what I say.
He was near by and arrived some four miles east of Mine Run before bivouacking for the night. My orders were given through General Meade for an early advance on the morning of the 5th. Warren was to move to Parker's store, and Wilson's cavalry then at Parker's store to move on to Craig's meeting-house. Sedgwick followed Warren, closing in on his right.
The dinner was at the old-fashioned Boston hour of two, and the table was laid for four people in some little upper room at Parker's, which I was never afterwards able to make sure of. Lowell was already, there when I came, and he presented me, to my inexpressible delight and surprise, to Dr. Holmes, who was there with him.
In 1835 the Comanches had captured a small settlement in east Texas, known as Parker's Fort; had carried off little John Parker, aged six, and little Cynthia Ann Parker, aged nine. Cynthia grew up with the Comanches, and married Peta Nokoni or Wanderer, a fine young brave who was elected head chief of the Kwahadis. Their baby was named Quana, and now in 1874 was called Quana Parker.
