A strange but interesting new type of car, fourteen feet long, seven feet wide, and nearly the same height, running on small iron car-wheels, was giving great satisfaction as being quieter and easier-riding than omnibuses; and Alfred Semple was privately considering investing in another proposed line which, if it could secure a franchise from the legislature, was to run on Fifth and Sixth streets.
He was left quite officially and deliberately to stem the tide as best he could, and, in spite of the gravity of the moment, smiled at the thought that his directors leaned on him in their extremity. They did not know what to do, therefore he must know. Then suddenly his mind reverted to Semple, and he spent the next few moments in profound thought. "Get hold of Mr.
'But a witness, exclaimed Lady Falconer, 'whose evidence is based on the only-half-intelligible gossip of a Spanish serving-woman made twenty-five years ago, and a week spent in an out-of-the-way mountain-village where she was ill nearly the whole time! Mr. Semple waved aside protests.
I have just driven over with my friends, Sir John and Lady Falconer. Lady Falconer, may I introduce my friend, Mr. Semple? This is a very sad house to come to, Mr. Semple, is it not? he said, and paused, hoping for a little gossip from the lawyer.
"I thought that purpose had been broken by the feud between Semple and the Kennedies," said the Sub-Prior, hastily. "They have accorded that matter at the expense of the church as usual," said the Abbot; "the Earl of Cassilis is to have the teind-sheaves of his lands, which were given to the house of Crossraguel, and he has stricken hands with Stewart, who is now called Murray.
"Now," said Semple, "we got a couple of Greasers yere caught stealin'. Buck Barry and Missouri Jones caught them at it, so there ain't much use hearin' witnesses as to the fact. Question is: what do we want to do with them?" "What did they steal?" demanded a voice. "They just nat'rally didn't steal nothin'," said a heavy built, square-jawed, clean-shaven man whom I guessed to be Buck Barry.
And one Semple, a plain burgher of Dumfries, did best him at it or at least would have shamed him, but that he desired not to lose the custom of the Abbey."
As he was buying a couple of apples at the news stand at the end of the corridor, Semple and a young Jew named Hirsch, Pit traders for small firms in La Salle Street, joined him. "Hello, Court, what do you know?" "Hello, Barry Semple! Hello, Hirsch!"
As Miss Semple so clearly points out in her work on the geographic conditions of American history, the Atlantic seaboard sloped toward the sea and its people held their faces eastward. They were never cut off from easy communication with the Old World, and consequently they were never quite freed from the Old World prejudices and standards.
Knowing Grant would have difficulty in obtaining carriers for Governor Semple, and only too anxious to gain access to Fort Douglas, I ran with haste towards the recumbent form of the fallen leader. Grant was at some distance scouring the field for reliable men, and while I was yet twenty or thirty yards away an Indian glided up. "Dog!" he hissed in the prostrate man's face.
