Captain Baxter made a memorandum of this order. About one P.M., not hearing from Wallace and being much in need of reinforcements, I sent two more of my staff, Colonel McPherson and Captain Rowley, to bring him up with his division. They reported finding him marching towards Purdy, Bethel, or some point west from the river, and farther from Pittsburg by several miles than when he started.
"Well thank you so much, Winthrop, but really you will have to excuse me. Mr. Purdy asked me first." There was a sudden flash of daring in her eyes as she turned to the cowpuncher. "I shall be very glad to go," she said; "will you call for me at the car?" "I sure will," he answered, and turned his eyes toward the flats.
"I refuse to defend men who I believe have committed murder." "I am an older man than you, Harvey Trueman, and I caution you to think twice before you refuse to obey the request of the man who has made you what you are." Purdy is white with rage, for he feels that Trueman will remain obdurate.
Nothing but a common policeman!" In vain did Polly explain the difference between a member of the ordinary force and a mounted trooper of the gold-escort; in vain lay stress on Richard's pleasure at seeing Purdy buckle to steady work, no matter what.
The demonstration was over, and Ferguson's story was lapsing into general gossip. The party of men began to dissolve. "Who do you think I saw at Tampa?" Ferguson asked Macandrew. "Old Purdy." "What?" cried Macandrew. "Is he alive?" Ferguson laughed. "Just about. What's he been doing? I thought he had chucked the sea. It was in the Customs Office.
Snawdor's entire stock in trade had been put in a wheelbarrow and dumped into the street, and a strange sign already replaced his old one of "Bungs and Fawcetts." Things seemed in such a bad way that Nance had about decided to lay the matter before Mrs. Purdy, when Dan brought the disconcerting news that Mrs.
It nearly gave me a headache to look at him." Several of us were impelled to ask a number of questions, but Ferguson was listening now, with the detachment of youth, to the end of a bawdy story that two men were laughing over. This had already displaced Purdy in his mind. "Didn't he say anything at all? Didn't he mention Hanson?" we asked Ferguson. "Eh? What, old Purdy? I don't think so.
"Not another word!" Gorman Purdy speaks in a tone he has never employed when addressing his daughter. "This matter must be settled, once and for all," he continues, addressing Harvey. "There can be but one head of the Paradise Coal Company. I wish to know if you will cease interfering with my orders?" "I have never objected to carrying out any order of yours that was legal.
He can't make up his mind to a course. Don't you remember the Campeachy case? I expect it was before your time. Purdy had her. He was coming up-Channel, and got nervous over the weather, and put into Portland for a pilot. There was no pilot. So he decided to put out again and go on.
Purdy, "Shall I wheel you over to the cabinet?" "I'll shove him," said Dan, making his first voluntary remark. "There now!" said Mrs. Purdy, "see how much stronger he is than I am! And he didn't jolt you a bit, did he, dearie?" If the room itself was interesting, the cabinet was nothing short of entrancing. It was full of carved animals in all manner of grotesque positions.
