"Shame!" an indignant voice cried. Among those who had risen was the sallow man. "Payton," he said sharply, "what did you do that for?" "Because I chose, if you like!" the stout man answered. "What is it to you? I am ready to give him satisfaction when he likes, and where he likes, and no heel-taps! And what more can he want? Do you hear, sir?" he continued in a bullying tone.
If you will inquire at the Armoury for Lemoine, the Maître d'Armes, he will oblige you, I have no doubt. But " "If you please?" the Colonel said politely, seeing that Marsh hesitated. "If you are not a skilled swordsman, I fear that it is not one lesson, or two, or a dozen, will enable you to meet Captain Payton, if you have such a thing in your mind, sir.
He cursed Payton thrice in a frenzy of rage. He beat the pillow with his fist. "That does no good," she said. "I believe you want to kill me!" he retorted, with childish passion. "I believe you want to see me dead! Why can't you be managing your own affairs, without without Oh, my God!" And then, in a dreadful voice, "My God, I shall be dead to-night! I shall be dead to-night!
When Payton rose to go, he rose also; and when, by chance, Payton sat down again, he sat down also, with a look that betrayed his thoughts.
When he rose to his feet to retire he was heated and flushed, but not drunk. "Where's that young cub?" he asked, breaking the silence. Asgill shrugged his shoulders. "I can't hope to fill his place," he said with a smooth smile. "But I will be doing the honours as well as I can. "You are d d officious, it seems to me," Payton growled. And then, more loudly, "I am going to bed," he said.
Payton saw him go, and, blessing the good fortune which had put him in a position to command the beauty's thanks, he turned to receive them. But Flavia was not looking at him, was not thinking of him. She had put the key in the lock and was trying to turn it. Her left wrist, however, was too weak, and the right was so strained as to be useless.
It was, it must be, through his folly and mismanagement that the thing had befallen, that the prisoner had been released, that Payton had been let into the secret. The volley of oaths that flew from Asgill expressed no more than a tithe of his rage and his bewilderment. How was he to get rid of Payton? How prevent Colonel John from resuming that sway in the house which he had exercised before?
Break two eggs in a cup and fill with cream, and one cup sugar, one teaspoonful cream tartar, one-half teaspoonful soda and one and one- half cup of flour, with a little salt. From MRS. MARY PAYTON, of Oregon, Lady Manager. One cup of sweet thick cream, sweetened and flavored with vanilla. Cut a loaf of cake in two and spread the frosting between and on top. This tastes like Charlotte Russe.
"Of course it is. I looked it out in the dic., and you mustn't call it a payton, though it is spelt with a p," added Bab, who liked to lay down the law on all occasions, and did not mention that she had looked vainly among the Vs till a school-mate set her right. "You can't tell me much about carriages. But what I want to know is where Lita will stay?" said Ben.
Yes, sir, of mean persons," the Colonel repeated, raising his voice and speaking in a tone so determined he seemed another man that Payton, in the act of seizing a decanter to hurl at him, hesitated.
