One rumor there was which seemed almost like a piece of poetical justice, a whisper to the effect that Rowland Slocum was suspected of being in some way mixed up with the murder. The fact that Lawyer Perkins, with his green bag streaming in the wind, so to speak, had been seen darting into Mr.
He passed from the grass-fringed street into the deserted marble yard, where it seemed as if the green summer had suddenly turned into white winter, and threading his way between the huge drifts of snowy stone, knocked at the door of Mr. Slocum's private office. William Durgin had summed up the case fairly enough as it stood between the Marble Workers' Association and Rowland Slocum.
Slocum has asked me to say a few words to you, this morning, about those resolutions, and one or two other matters that have occurred to him in this connection. I am no speech-maker; I never learned that trade" "Never learned any trade," muttered Durgin, inaudibly. "but I think I can manage some plain, honest talk, for straight-forward men."
Sickles and Slocum, with the Third and Twelfth corps, were near the Chancellor house. Artillery was massed to command the approaches to the turnpike, and earthworks went up in the night as if by magic. At daylight, Sunday morning, Jackson, with all his forces, advanced on the turnpike, against the Chancellor place, not with the thin line of battle, but in solid mass.
Then an idea came to her. Two ships had already been here for certain: the wreck and the ship of Captain Slocum, then there was the cache, some ship must have left that. She told Raft what was in her mind but got little consolation from him.
I been kerryin' a potato in my pocket f'r over and above a week now, and I'm in hopes 't'll cure me." "A potato in your pocket!" exclaimed Dame Hartley. "Reuel Slocum! what do you mean?" "Sounds curus, don't it?" returned Mr. Slocum. "But it's a fact that it's a great cure for rheumatiz. A grea-at cure!
In the march of the 12th Howard remained on the east side of the Neuse with a pretty widely extended front, aiming for the crossing of the river due east of Raleigh, at the Neuse Mills and Hinton's Bridge. Slocum crossed at Smithfield and took the roads up the right bank of the Neuse. The terms you have given Lee are magnanimous and liberal.
I am surprised, and you a minister." "But it is an awful state of things." "Well," said Fanny, "Mrs. B. H. Slocum may come over from Grenoble. She used to live here, and has never lost her interest in Brookville. She is rich. She can buy a lot, and she is very good-natured about being cheated for the gospel's sake. Then, too, Brookville has never lost its guardian angels."
Planting one foot firmly in the center of the puddle and bracing the other against the curb-stone, I extended my hand. "If you're good at jumping, Miss Slocum," said I, "I'll land you safely on this side." "Oh," said she, roguishly, "Mr. Flutter, can I trust you?" and she reached out her little gloved hand. All my old embarrassment rushed over me.
In this irrelevant and somewhat mystical style, Brother Spyke continues nearly an hour, sending his audience into a highly-edified state. We have said mystical, for, indeed, none but those in the secret could have divined, from Brother Spyke's logic, what was the precise nature of his mission. Brother Spyke sits down-Sister Slocum rises.
