"Are you quite sure that it was the man-servant you saw looking through the door yesterday afternoon?" It was proof of the fallibility of human testimony that Mrs. Pendleton had sincerely convinced herself that she was quite sure. "Yes," she said. Barrant looked doubtful. By reason of his calling he was well aware of the human tendency to unintentional mistake in identity.
George H. Pendleton was nominated for Vice-President, and the convention adjourned not sine die, as is customary, but "subject to be called at any time and place the executive national committee shall designate."
Chilton, you don't mean you didn't try to get somebody's hand and heart once, like Mr. Pendleton, and and couldn't, did you?" The doctor got to his feet a little abruptly. "There, there, Pollyanna, never mind about that now. Don't let other people's troubles worry your little head. Suppose you run back now to Mrs. Snow.
Time had flown with them on a "dove's wings," and its flutterings lightened their last adieu. A journey of a few days brought our travellers to the lively, bustling village, which for convenience we have named Pendleton, situated on the Upper Mississippi. After several hours of rest and refreshment at their hotel, they sallied out to enjoy a pedestrian excursion in the cool of the day.
"I don't know what you mean!" cried Lily Pendleton. "But you will before I get through with you," said Laura. "Now, listen! You know about that man who had his leg broken on Market Street?" "The one the police say Purt ran down with his car?" "The same." "Of course I do," Lily cried. "And Purt is as innocent as you are!" "Granted," said Laura.
"I wouldn't doubt your word for an instant," said Pendleton, in something like his old voice. "Whatever it is, I'm quite sure it is if you say so." The policeman on guard in the hall examined them carefully. "All right," said he, after they had explained and he had verified it by calling to his mate at the street door. "Go right to work, gents.
"Lovers! your Aunt Polly and I?" At the obvious surprise in the man's voice, Pollyanna opened wide her eyes. "Why, Mr. Pendleton, Nancy said you were!" The man gave a short little laugh. "Indeed! Well, I'm afraid I shall have to say that Nancy didn't know." "Then you weren't lovers?" Pollyanna's voice was tragic with dismay. "Never!" "And it ISN'T all coming out like a book?" There was no answer.
Of this committee Patrick Henry was chairman; and with him were associated Richard Henry Lee, Nicholas, Harrison, Riddick, Washington, Stephen, Lewis, Christian, Pendleton, Jefferson, and Zane. On the following day, Friday, the 24th of March, the committee brought in its report, which was laid over for one day, and then, after some amendment, was unanimously adopted.
"But the storm!" persisted Miss Rogers, piteously. "Oh, Sally, at least let me stay until the storm has spent its fury!" "Not an instant!" cried Sally Pendleton, fairly dragging her from the room and down the corridor to the main door, which she flung open, thrust her victim through it, and out into the storm.
Pendleton gently. An hour or two later, when Virginia sat in her rocking-chair before the nursery fire, with Harry, worn out with his play and forgetful of the dignity of his four years, asleep in her lap, she opened the telegram again and reread it hungrily while the light of love shone in her face.
