"Of course not," said Pinney with real sympathy. "It's just one of those flying rumors they get the names all mixed up, those country operators." "They spelled the name two ways in different papers," said Adeline. "Father had no earthly business up that way; and he always telegraphs." "I believe the Mills are on the line of the Union and Dominion Road, are they not?"
Pinney comforted him. It was well worth while having troubles, she said, if they could be made up to one, as all Mary's would be to her when she saw her husband. The upcoming stage brought the mail, and next day Pinney rode into camp to get his weekly newspaper, and engage a passage down the next morning for Lansing. The day dragged terribly to the latter, who stayed at the ranch.
"Oh!" said Louise, in the concessive tone people use, when they do not know but they have wronged some one. She spiritually came back to him, but materially she rose to go away and leave him. She stooped for the letter he had dropped out of the hammock and gave it him. "Don't you want this?" "Oh, thank you! I'd forgotten it." He glanced at the superscription, "It's from Pinney.
It's going to cost you all you've brought with you," Pinney watched Northwick's impassive face for the next change that should pass upon it; he caught it, and added "and more. But I happen to know that the balance will be forthcoming when it's needed. I can't say how I know it, for I don't exactly know how I know it. But I do know it; and you know that it's for you to take the first step.
If you do, I won't stir a step with you; so there!" "Ah!" said Pinney, "I understand. I didn't catch on, at first. Well, you needn't be afraid of my mixing drinks. I'll just use the old fellow for practice. Very likely he may lead to something else in the defaulter line. You won't object to that?" "No; I won't object to that."
I've heard that child cry just once since it was born, and that was when it first realized that it was in this vale of tears; I believe we all do that; but our baby finished up the whole crying-business on that occasion." With Pinney these statements led to others until he had possessed Northwick of his whole autobiography.
I don't suppose there's a man there that don't own his own house. There's Mel Parraday, who owns the ho-tel; and Lem Pinney that owns stock in this very steamboat comp'ny; and Walkworthy Dexter Walky's done expressin' and stage-drivin' since before my 'Rill come here to Poketown to teach." "But but they look so ragged and unshaven," gasped Janice.
When are you going to Boston?" "Six, fifteen. I've got a scoop of my own." "What is it?" asked Pinney, incredulously. "Come round in the morning, and I'll tell you." "Perhaps I'll go in with you, after all. I'll just step out into the cold air, and see if I can harden my cheek for that interview. Your diffidence is infectious, Maxwell."
Northwick," said Pinney, with a certain amusement at the simple-heartedness of this sigh, whose cause he did not misinterpret. "The question is now about your getting back to them." "Getting back? You know I can't go back," said Northwick, with bitter despair, and an openness that he had not shown before.
The clerk gave up the captain's, as all the others were taken, and Pinney occupied it with Northwick. It was larger and pleasanter than the other rooms, and after Pinney got Northwick to bed, he sat beside him and talked.
