The first women schoolteachers in America evolved in Connecticut. Miss Brooks was a schoolteacher, the daughter of a farmer for whom Danforth Armour worked as hired man. Danforth was given to boasting a bit as to the part his ancestors had played as neighbors to Oliver Cromwell at the time, and the only time, when England was a republic.
"All right," replied the schoolteacher, but his voice quaked with weariness, and the cinch knot, drawn taut by the powerful hand of Jerry Bent, refused to loosen. He struggled with it until his fingers ached, and his panicky breath came in gasps of nervous excitement. Presently he was aware of the tall, dark form of Sinclair behind him, his saddle slung across his arm.
It reminded him, with a curious pang of mingled pity and disgust, of the way Gaspar had faced the masked men of Sour Creek's posse the day before. There was the same unmanly abnegation of the courage to meet danger and look it in the eye. Here, again, the schoolteacher was wincing from the very memory of a crisis. "Look here!" exclaimed Sinclair. His contempt rang in his voice.
I've heard a lot about him down at Jasper I was the schoolteacher there." "Oh, you're up here on your vacation?" said she, a light of quick interest in her eyes, an unmistakable friendliness in her voice. It was as if he had presented a letter from somebody well and favorably known. "No, I've come up here to see about learning the sheep business."
Henry Rogers was alive and alert and was diplomatic enough to manage the Milesian pedagogue without his ever knowing it. The lessons were easy to him he absorbed in the mass. Besides that, his mother helped nights by the light of a whale-oil lamp, for her boy was going to grow up to be a schoolteacher or possibly a minister, who knows!
We had a letter of introduction from the cura at Juquila to the schoolteacher at Quezaltepec, and therefore rode directly to the school. The four boys who were in attendance were promptly dismissed and the maestro was at our disposition. He was a mestizo, and possessed the art of lying in a fine degree, like so many of his kind.
For a moment the girl stared at the schoolteacher with tears in her eyes; then she flashed at Riley a glance of utter scorn, as if inviting him to see what an angel upon the earth he was persecuting. But Sinclair remained unmoved. He informed them of the conditions of his stay. He must be allowed to keep John Gaspar in sight at all times. Only suspicious moves he would resent with violence.
Go down and tell the sheriff when he happens along and show him my confession. Go down and tell him that I ain't running away that I'm staying close, and that I'm going to nab my second man right under his nose. That'll give him something to think about." He favored the schoolteacher with another black look and then swung out of the saddle, throwing his reins.
To complete the round there were two charges yet to visit, but as these will claim our attention hereafter I need not refer to them now, except to give an incident that transpired at the Quarterly Meeting held on one of them. The meeting was held in a school house. The new schoolteacher, a nice youngster, concluded to lead the singing.
He came over and spoke to us and took a curl of Hope's hair in his stiffened fingers and held it to the lamplight. 'What silky gold! he whispered. 'S a skein o' fate, my dear girl! Suddenly the schoolteacher rapped on the desk and bade us come to order and Ransom Walker was called to the chair.
