But Phelps's voice is not seldom plaintive, as if touched by the dreamy sadness of the woods themselves. When Old Mountain Phelps was discovered, he was, as the reader has already guessed, not understood by his contemporaries.

Captain Dott, you're making mountains out of mole hills. Gertie isn't that kind." "That's what I said. That's what I used to think. It's this Scarford that's doin' it. It's this Scarford and the society crowd we've got in with. Annette Black Barney Phelps's wife is in society, and so's the Lake woman and that Canby piano pounder and that Dusante my Godfreys! you ought to have seen her, John!

The residents, greatly alarmed, or affecting to be, lest they should soon be the victims of an ungovernable armed mob, addressed the most urgent remonstrances to General Butler against General Phelps's proceedings. Determined to avoid anything like a bitter opposition to a measure that his head and heart both told him was intrinsically right, he sought for a means of compromise.

I do not even remember to have seen him mentioned in the works of James Huneker and you will not find his name in Barrett Wendell's "A History of American Literature" , "A Reader's History of American Literature" by Thomas Wentworth Higginson and Henry Walcott Boynton , Katherine Lee Bates's "American Literature" , "A Manual of American Literature," edited by Theodore Stanton , William B. Cairns's "A History of American Literature" , William Edward Simonds's "A Student's History of American Literature" , Fred Lewis Pattee's "A History of American Literature Since 1870" , John Macy's "The Spirit of American Literature" , or William Lyon Phelps's "The Advance of the English Novel" . The third volume of "The Cambridge History of American Literature," bringing the subject up to 1900, has not yet appeared but I should be amazed to discover that the editors had decided to include Saltus therein.

Returning to Albany, Susan found herself under suspicion and threatened with arrest by Dr. Phelps and Mrs. Phelps's brothers, because she had broken the law by depriving a father of his child. Letters and telegrams, demanding that she reveal Mrs. Phelps's hiding place, followed her to Rochester and on her antislavery tour through western New York. Refusing to be intimidated, she ignored them all.

"It would save the trip out here, the loss of time, the inconvenience why, in an actual dollars and cents comparison, with overhead and everything taken into account, the building of a set like this is nothing nowadays." "Do you know Mr. Phelps's reason?" Manton shrugged his shoulders. "Just a whim, and we had to humor it." "Mr. Phelps is interested in the company?" "Yes.

The thing in him that Harvey Merrick had loved must have gone under ground with Harvey Merrick's coffin; for it never spoke again, and Jim got the cold he died of driving across the Colorado mountains to defend one of Phelps's sons who had got into trouble out there by cutting government timber. "A Death in the Desert"

Very suddenly a voice from behind us interrupted. "Find something?" I turned, startled, to see Emery Phelps. There was a distinct eagerness in the banker's expression. "Yes!" Kennedy faced him, undisturbed, apparently not surprised. His scrutiny of Phelps's face was frank and searching. "Yes," he repeated, "bit by bit the guilty man is revealing himself to us."

I think the house and the presence of the dead girl and all the rest of it got on Phelps's nerves, because he was irritable and impatient, unwilling to wait for his own car, until finally I drove him to the station myself." "Was anyone, any of those on our list of possible suspects at least, alone in the room or in the house?" "Not while I was there," Mackay replied. "I took good care of that.

Phelps's room and noiselessly opened it, and smiled when she saw the invalid's open eyes. "Well, have a nice nap?" she asked, coming to put a daughterly little hand over the older woman's hand. "Want more light? Your books have come." "I'm much better, dear," said Mrs. Phelps. The Boston woman's tone would always be incisive, her words clear. But she kept Manzanita's hand.
