Now one doesn't read the Paris edition of the London Daily Mail with tense excitement. Humanly speaking, it can't be done. Where, then, was the object of this so sedulously dissembled interest? Lanyard wasn't slow to read this riddle to his satisfaction in as far, that is, as it was satisfactory to feel still more certain that Roddy's quarry was another than himself.
Quite a considerable force of the enemy was assembled in our front, near Tuscumbia, to resist our advance. It was commanded by General Stephen D. Lee, and composed of Roddy's and Ferguson's brigades, with irregular cavalry, amounting in the aggregate to about five thousand. In person I moved from Corinth to Burnsville on the 18th, and to Iuka on the 19th of October.
"Why'n't you tell us what FOR, then?" Sam insisted. Roddy's glance at this persecutor was one of anguish. "I know my own biz'nuss!" he muttered. And while Sam jeered, Roddy turned to Penrod desperately. "You gimme that horn back! I got to have it." But Penrod followed Sam's lead. "Well, why can't you tell us what FOR?" he asked.
Mamma and she had slept together because Papa was dead. "Mary, do you know why you're crying?" Roddy's face was fixed in a look of anger and resentment, and of anxiety as if he were afraid that at any minute he would be asked to do something that he couldn't do.
And it was as if he had said "You'll see then how much need there is to worry." You might have kept on hoping that something would happen to prevent Roddy's going but for the size and solidity and expensiveness of the preparations.
But for a moment, the confused and badgered Roddy was incredulous; he had not dreamed that Penrod possessed such a sum. "Lemme take a look at that money!" he said. If at first there had been in Roddy's mind a little doubt about his present rights of ownership, he had talked himself out of it. Also, his financial supplies for the month were cut off, on account of the careless dog.
With a low cry, smitten with awful understanding, Lanyard wheeled and stared fearfully at the door communicating with Roddy's room. It stood ajar an inch or two, its splintered lock accounted for by a small but extremely efficient jointed steel jimmy which lay near the threshold. Beyond the door ... darkness ... silence...
Close before her face the head of Roddy's coffin swayed and swung as the bearers staggered. "Roddy ought never to have gone to Canada." Her mother had turned again, shaking the big bed. They would sleep together for three nights; then Aunt Bella would come, as she came when Papa died. "But your Uncle Victor would have his own way." "He didn't know." She thought: "But I knew.
