He will clothe the negro with all power and set him to rule over his former masters." Lee answered roughly. "Nonsense, Ruffin. I am better informed. Senator Washburn, Mr. Lincoln's spokesman, entered Richmond with the Federal army. He says that the President will remove the negro troops from the United States as soon as peace is declared. He has a bill in Congress to colonize the negro race."
Lee stepped close to the planter, laid one hand gently on his shoulder, searched his angry eyes for a moment and slowly said: "And thrice is he armed, my friend, who hath his quarrel just. I set my house in order before the first blow falls." Ruffin smiled and threw off the ugly strain. "I'm sorry, sir," he said with friendly indifference, "that my mission has been a failure."
Presently Pollyooly's key grated in the lock. "Hist! She comes!" said the Honourable John Ruffin. Eglantine rose, quivering. Pollyooly came in, shut the door sharply behind her, and came briskly down the passage into the sitting-room. At the sight of her Eglantine forgot the whispering caution of the conspirator; she cried loudly: "But ze likeness! Eet ees marvellous! Incredible!
You are dealing with a woman." The duke smiled with an air of the deepest self-satisfaction. Compliments from the Honourable John Ruffin were indeed rare. "Yes; that's what I thought," he said. Then he chuckled, and added: "Won't Caroline be mad when she finds I'm running another Marion?" "'Mad' isn't the word for it," said the Honourable John Ruffin with conviction.
She's going to take you down to Devonshire by the train which leaves Paddington at six," said the Honourable John Ruffin. "Then I'd better take the Lump round to Mrs. Brown at once," said Pollyooly; and her eyes sparkled and danced. "You had," said the Honourable John Ruffin. "It's only for a couple of nights at the outside, tell her."
A prince of the blood sent as hostage to England returned to France in defiance of treaties, and if King John surrendered himself, it was because of the ease and pleasures he enjoyed in London, and to be rid of cares. Among the commanders very few were English. There was the Welshman Griffith, whom Froissart calls Ruffin, who ravaged the country between the Seine and the Loire.
There could be no doubt that she was thoroughly enjoying the part of a conspirator and resolved to play it to the limit. The Honourable John Ruffin was the last man in the world to spoil her simple pleasure, and as they came into the sitting-room he suddenly gripped her arm. Eglantine jumped and squeaked.
Old Virginia, the mother of Presidents and of states, as I leave her soil I humbly pray that God's blessings may ever rest upon her!" "So say I, sir," Ruffin responded heartily. "And I'll try to do the cussin' for her while you do the praying." Mrs. Lee entered and handed to her husband a folded document, as Ben came from the kitchen with Sam, who bowed and grinned to every one in the room.
The only impression made upon me was astonishment at this rudeness towards the magisterial representative of the law. My misconception was short-lived, for at this moment Ruffin the bandaged and bloody Ruffin came close up to me; and, after scowling upon me with his fierce, bloodshot eyes, bent forward until his lips almost touched my face, and then hissed out
"It is yours to the half of my fortune at present about fourteen shillings," said the Honourable John Ruffin warmly. "Well, I didn't take Marion abroad," said the duchess. "They always look abroad for people who bolt. I borrowed Pinky Wallerton's car and drove her down, myself, to a cottage I bought in Devonshire in the pinewoods above Budleigh Salterton." "That sounds all right."
