Payne took her silence for evidence that she was playing her hand badly. This flustered her. She became conscious of the fact that nature had built her too roughly for diplomacy. Not daring to hedge any longer she blurted out her invitation, and Gabrielle, instantly delighted, accepted, transforming herself, in Mrs. Payne's mind from a subtle designing creature into something very like a victim.
Burke, in Present Discontents, says: 'The power of the Crown, almost dead and rotten as Prerogative, has grown up anew, with much more strength and far less odium, under the name of Influence. Influence he explains as 'the method of governing by men of great natural interest or great acquired consideration. Payne's Burke, i. 10, 11.
New York was solidly for Payne, but made little impression because Payne's own State of Ohio stood for Senator Thurman. Judge Field of California and William R. Morrison of Illinois had the support of their own States, with a few scattering votes. The multiplicity of candidates indicated the lack of a definite sentiment and a clear policy.
Payne was only able to secure his pro rata as the entire issue was promptly over subscribed by the stockholders, it being understood that the right of subscription should be confined rigidly to stockholders of record. Never in my business career have I seen the value or virtue of a leader expressed in so forceful a manner as in the effect of Mr. Payne's offer upon that meeting.
Thus Conscience, Prudence, Wisdom, Policy, Safety First all the deadly virtues called her. Did she heed? As the sea's self should heed a pebble-cast. On a June evening, when Petticoat was called to Iva Payne's, Porgie came. Bowed in by a thin red line of footmen, he found Warble in the moon-parlor.
To sum up finally: Both translations are complete, they are the only complete translations in English, and the world owes a deep debt of gratitude to both Payne and Burton. According to Arabists, Payne's Translation is the more accurate of the two. Burton's translation is largely a paraphrase of Payne's.
Of course there were little bickerings at times, little complexities of friendship; but these never came to anything in Father Payne's kindly present.
Another downpour of fate. And Warble, caught without an umbrella or rubbers. The night came unheralded. Petticoat had gone to Iva Payne's on an urgent summons over-ripe sardines and Warble had wandered out into the moonlight.
As Captain Payne's company was about to start, or had started, his saddle-girth broke and he got a fearful fall. One of his men dismounted and assisted him on his horse, the captain's horse having run away. F Company, Fifth, followed by the captain, he being badly bruised, reached the wagon-train to find it being packed, and Lieutenant Paddock wounded, and fighting the Indians.
Twelve men had been killed in the effort to obtain the body of the brave Payne, but to no purpose. Humanity forbade another trial, and yet it was made. "Are there four more men in the regiment who will volunteer to go for Capt. Payne's body?" shouted the officer.
