Among others whom I remember as living in Tucson or near neighborhood in 1866 were: Henry Glassman, Tom Yerkes, Lord & Williams, Pete Kitchen, Tongue, The Kelsey boys, Sandy McClatchy, Green Rusk, Frank Hodge, Alex. Levin, Bob Crandall, Wheat, Smith Turner, "Old" Pike. Glassman lived most of the time at Tubac. Yerkes owned the Settlers Store in Tubac.
'The Master says you may have the brandy-bottle, Madame and I'm glad to be rid of it I am. Madame courtesied with a great smirk, that was full of intangible hate and insult. 'Better your own brandy, if drink you must! exclaimed Mrs. Rusk. 'You may come to the store-room now, or the butler can take it. And off whisked Mrs. Rusk for the back staircase.
He eats one rusk, then a second, then a third, and, looking sideways, with embarrassment, at the man of learning, timidly stretches after a fourth. . . . The noise he makes in swallowing, the relish with which he smacks his lips, and the expression of hungry greed in his raised eyebrows irritate the man of learning. "Make haste and finish, time is precious."
He took the book, detaining her in the room, and then mounting on a chair to take down another book from a shelf, he had fallen, with the dreadful crash I had heard, dead upon the floor. He fell across the door, which caused the difficulty in opening it. Mrs. Rusk found she had not strength to force it open. No wonder she had given way to terror. I think I should have almost lost my reason.
Dan was in his accustomed seat at the head of the table; he arose and wished her good-morning. She replied faintly, and then she sat toying idly with her rusk, her eyes for the most part fastened upon Dan, who had resumed his breakfast as though oblivious of her presence. She seemed trying to make up her mind to speak; but she failed.
Carl broke in, "I'll bring Bennie Rusk, and me and him 'll teach you to play soldiers." "My mamma don't think I ought to play games. I've got a lot of dolls, but I'm too old for dolls. I play Authors with mamma, sometimes. And dominoes. Authors is a very nice game." "But maybe your ma will let you play Indian squaw, and me and Bennie 'll tie you to a stake and scalp you.
Rusk was rather nervous, and would not, for worlds, go alone, and at such an hour, to the room. We called Mary Quince. We all three listened, but we heard no other sound. I set these things down here because they made so terrible an impression upon me at the time. It ended by our peeping out, all three in a body, upon the gallery.
Rusk and Mary Quince, in their several ways, used to enhance, by occasional anecdotes and frequent reflections, the terrors of such an intrusion. I suppose they did not wish a revolution and all its consequences at Knowl, and thought it no harm to excite my vigilance. But it was impossible long to be vexed with Cousin Monica. 'You know, my dear, your father is an oddity, she said.
On the other hand, he that loveth corruption shall have enough thereof. Think upon these things. Good-night. And the Swedenborgian Doctor stepped into the room, taking the candle with him, and closed the door upon the shadowy still-life there, and on his own sharp and swarthy visage, leaving Mrs. Rusk in a sort of panic in the dark alone, to find her way to her room the best way she could.
I think he then laid some injunction upon the housekeeper, which was transmitted by her to Mary Quince, for from that time forth I could never lead either to talk with me about Uncle Silas. They let me talk on, but were reserved and silent themselves, and seemed embarrassed, and Mrs. Rusk sometimes pettish and angry, when I pressed for information.
