Pierson had been particularly anxious to see Merriwell work, and he had taken a great deal of trouble to come on. The "great and only" Bob Collingwood, of the 'Varsity crew, had accompanied Pierson, and both were much disappointed, not to say disgusted, when Old Put put in Gordon and kept him in the box, despite the fact that he was being freely batted.
And the lucky humbug was very soon living in clover in Mills' house, which he chose first; had admitted the happy fools, Pierson and Folger, as the first two members of his true church; Pierson, believing that from Elijah the Tishbite he had become John the Baptist, devoted himself as a kind of servant to his new Messiah; and the deluded men began to supply all the temporal wants of the impostor, believing their estates set apart as the beginning of the material Kingdom of God!
"Yes; I'm afraid he's over head and ears in love with her." At the dismayed sound he uttered, she slipped her soft round arm within his. "He's going to the front soon, poor boy!" "Have they talked to you?" "He has. Nollie hasn't yet." "Nollie is a queer child, Thirza." "Nollie is a darling, but rather a desperate character, Edward." Pierson sighed.
The Snapper had been anchored within a cable's length of the Chateaugay, and Mr. Birdwing had brought Captain Flanger on board of the ship, with Percy Pierson, that the question of prize might be definitely settled by the commander, for he was not quite satisfied himself. The captain of the Snapper was still in irons, and he and his companion had been put under guard in the waist.
We encountered only small detachments of rebel cavalry under Colonels Jackson and Pierson, and drove them into and through Holly Springs; but they hung about, and I kept an infantry brigade in Holly Springs to keep them out.
That consideration rendered me still more respectful, and I resolved to prove worthy of that name. To talk of love, they say, is to make love. We rarely spoke of it. Every time I happened to touch the subject Madame Pierson led the conversation to some other topic.
Just then the door opened, and I was surprised to see Madame Pierson, who inquired who was there. I waited a moment in order to conceal my astonishment. I then entered the house, and asked permission to remain until the storm should pass.
Let us pretend, my dear Octave, that we met each other only yesterday. You met me at a ball, I pleased you and I love you; you tell me that some leagues distant, in a certain little town, you loved a certain Madame Pierson; what passed between you and her I do not know. You will not tell me the story of your love for another!
"And, besides, Pierson, you're lying." "I'll wager that not a man here believes I'm lying," retorted Pierson coolly. "No, no! You're no liar, Pierson!" cried a dozen men at once. "Is there a black pin inside your blouse at this moment?" challenged Greg. "None of your business," cried the turnback hoarsely. "I demand that you show up, or stand accused," insisted Cadet Holmes.
Weisspriess shortly after took his leave, on the plea that he wished to prove his friendliness by accompanying Private Pierson, who had to be on duty early next day in Milan. Amalia had seen him breaking from Anna in extreme irritation, and he had only to pledge his word that he was really bound for Milan to satisfy her. "I believe you to be at heart humane," she said meaningly.
