What I say is that you'd better make your will before you vote for Frome. Make 'em pay fat, for by thunder! you'll be political junk, Mr. Sam Killen." Killen, sweating agony, turned appealingly to Jeff. "I haven't said I was going to vote for Frome. Mr. Rawson's got no right to bulldoze me and I'm not going to stand it."
"I have a little information that might be of use to you that you'd like to have." "I don't want it." "You would if you knew what it was." "No." "Yes, you would. It's about Squire Rawson's granddaughter about her marriage to that man Wickersham." "How much do you want for it?" demanded Keith. Plume advanced slowly into the room and looked at a chair. "Don't sit down.
Lord Rawson's waiting; good by." "Stay, stay," said Howard, who was not so easily to be drawn into difficulties by a moment's weakness, or by the want of a moment's presence of mind: "I know nothing of this business; I have other uses for my money; I cannot pay five guineas for you, Holloway."
Holloway, as he had determined to collect all his pupils together, and to examine into the lottery business. Little Oliver was also watching for Holloway, to prevent mischief, and to assure him of forgiveness about the sweetmeats. Lord Rawson's dog-cart arrived.
Then in few words he told of Mrs. Rawson's letter and the reply, describing the beautiful country home to which Nan and the baby were to go. "You will be glad to think of them in such a place during the hot summer days," he went on, "even though their going leaves you very lonely, as I know it will, Theodore." "I ought to be glad, Mr.
But Jake was not prepared to yield to any one the honor of "yanking." Jake had just been down to Squire Rawson's, and this young man was none other than Mr. Ferdy Wickersham. He had been there, too. Jake had left with vengeance in his heart, and this was his opportunity.
He had got the Rawson mine to running again, and even in the hardest times had been able to make it pay expenses. Other properties had failed and sold out, and had been bought in by Keith's supporters, when Wickersham once more appeared in New Leeds affairs. It was rumored that Wickersham was going to start again. Old Adam Rawson's face grew dark at the rumor.
Keith was quite overcome, and when the hour arrived for closing the school, instead of, as he had expected, tying up the half-dozen books he kept in his desk, shaking hands with the dozen children eager to be turned loose in the delightful pasturage of summer holiday, turning the key in the lock, and plodding alone down the dusty road to Squire Rawson's, he now found the school-room full, not of school-children only, but of grown people as well.
One word caught Keith, and his interest awoke. "What wife?" he asked as indifferently as he could. "His wife, his lawful wife, Squire Rawson's granddaughter, Phrony Tripper. I was at the weddin' I was a witness. He thought he could get out of it, and he was half drunk; but he married her." "Where? When? You were present?" "Yes.
Rawson's eyes the few poor bits of furniture looked worthless enough, but she realised that it would seem quite otherwise to the girl who had bought them with her own hard earnings. But now Nan looked up with shining eyes and in eager words told of Theodore's plan and the lady's face brightened as she listened.
