Ninian said no more but kept his suspicions revolving in his own mind; yet was far more absorbed in the possibility that "Forty-niner" had suggested, of the copper vein in the canyon, than by anything else he had heard. They had ridden on again, each silent, till the lights of Sobrante came into view; then Ephraim remarked: "Reckon the little tackers ain't much better.
They will contribute their labor and share in its results; share richly if I can have my will." "Your will is doubtless law, madam," answered Mr. Hale, courteously. "And if the mine is worked, I want our dear friend, Ninian Sharp, to come here and act as its manager, on behalf of the Sobrante side.
"Sharp's the man to put the thing in trim. He's the very chap! He knows all about minerals, and he says that this copper we've struck is the very purest article he ever saw! Hurray! Hurray! Three cheers and a tiger for the Sobrante Copper Mine!" shouted the hilarious Marty. Meanwhile, there had been short but heated discussion among her loyal henchmen as to whether Mrs.
The fact is, we're a very careless set at Sobrante, where everything is or used to be all open and above board. It's a new thing for keys to be turned on this ranch, and it's a new thing for us to go suspecting one another of sneak notions.
"Why, Gabriella Trent! Me! Me! Don't say that, and make me feel meaner'n dirt. It's you, honey, is that " Mrs. Trent laughed as she answered: "We make a mutual admiration society, don't we? But Aunt Sally, you mustn't think of leaving Sobrante before the holidays are past. I can't spare you.
A fleeting smile did cross Elsa's face, as she reflected that the meddler with her knitting would probably scald itself in the pot, but she didn't care. Her whole mind was now set upon Sobrante and its mistress, and so eager was she to reach the spot that she set off on her long walk with an alacrity she had not shown since the discovery of the robbery.
It is a queen he has made you, and you say, 'Thank you!" He had fully caught the shepherd's enthusiasm and feeling, and for the first time in his life looked upon the lady of Sobrante as a dull-witted person. But she was no longer dull.
The physician was already halfway on the road, intending a neighborly call at Sobrante, when the carpenter met and literally collared him. "Come you must, Dr. Kimball. I shan't take 'no' for an answer," was the decisive retort to the rose-grower's prompt refusal. "I shall do nothing of the sort. I'm not a practicing physician now, and I never was a surgeon.
We don't live in the days of witchcraft, and that's what such a performance would mean." Yet when they had returned to Mrs. Trent and related their misadventure he was startled by hearing that sensible woman tragically exclaim, in contradiction to his own assertion: "Lost! Then Sobrante is certainly bewitched!"
She can see no flaw in the character of anybody she loves; and well, none of us are perfect, and Ephraim grows old." Still, when he entered, the lady greeted him with cordiality, and served him promptly; and presently they were all talking eagerly of the recent events at Sobrante.
