Cornwall, standing by his chair and noticing again that places were prepared for the men only, said; "Mrs. Saylor, the rain makes it so cozy and home-like, you, Miss Mary and Susie fix places and eat with us; I am sure we will all have a better time." Saylor stopped eating long enough to add; "Do, it will seem like a Christmas dinner in the summertime."
Saylor burst into tears; Susie cried aloud and hung to her father's arm; Mary grew as pale as death and her body shook as from intense cold. Cornwall, who had come into the court room during the squire's argument and who, after bowing to Mary and Mrs. Saylor, had taken a seat behind them, came forward. "Never mind, Mary, we shall find a way to get him off.
And they laughed and the bride-to-be blushed, and with downcast, dreamy eyes, slowly yielding to the increasing pressure of his strong, young arm, unexpectedly found her head nestling in contentment and happiness upon his broad shoulder. That night she disturbed the peace and quiet of the family circle by announcing that she was to be a June bride and Mr. Saylor was to be the groom.
Let me go with you and your mother to where you are stopping. I tried to find you last night." The sheriff came forward and, taking Saylor by the arm, said: "Come on, Mr. Saylor." The woman kissed the condemned man a hasty farewell. He and the sheriff went out one door toward the jail; the Saylor family and Cornwall another, walking up the street to old Pineville, to the home of Mary's aunt.
Hello Saylor! When did you get in? What do you want? How are things going in the Eleventh this fall? We must have thirty-five thousand in that district." "I want the nomination for Judge of the Court of Appeals in the Seventh District." "Against your brother-in-law?" "Yes, he didn't consult me before he announced." "You are too late.
She thought: "Here comes that conceited boor, Caleb Saylor, to see me again; I shall send word I am not at home; * but it is dreadfully dull this afternoon, no one else seems to be coming, this book is the worst ever, he might prove entertaining; I'm twenty-nine and can't be so particular; I'll go down and see how the clown talks." "Well, Mr. Saylor, it has been quite a time since you called.
The rider was unhurt, but the horse's right foreleg was broken. "Damn you, Elhannon, why don't you and your wife sleep out in the middle of the road, too. You will certainly pay for that horse and my wetting. I am too old to fight you, but I will law you in Squire Ingram's court." "All right, Sim Saylor; I'll be thar." "And if I lose thar, I'll take it to the Circuit Court."
This outlay old man Saylor would never have consented to, looking upon it as an absolute waste of good money, except that he gave Mary as much credit for his acquittal of the Spencer killing as he did John. He had the money to spare, having each year cleared more than that sum on his tobacco and speculations in the mule market. He was a great judge of mules.
I know he will be surprised when he hears his name, but this great gathering is in his honor and he must regard the call as one to duty and service, which, though it comes unsought, can not be disregarded. The office seeks the man and it is tendered by his fellow-citizens. I have the honor to nominate Hon. Caleb Saylor, of the Paint Lick precinct."
"All right, Sim Saylor, I'll be thar." "And if I lose in the Circuit Court, I'll take it to the Court of Appeals." "All right, Sim Saylor; I'll be thar." "And if I lose in the Court of Appeals, I'll take it to hell, the next place." "All right, Sim Saylor, I won't be thar, but my lawyer will. Keep on your shirt, Sim, and come into the house. The old woman can make you comfortable for the night."
