"The Senator from Stackpole!" "I want," Alonzo began, in his big voice: "I want to say a few simple, straightforward but vigorous words about this bill. You may remember I spoke against it on its second reading " "You did that!" shouted Senator Battle suddenly. "I want to say now," the Senator from Stackpole continued, "that at that time I hadn't studied the subject sufficiently.
This feat was rewarded by the spectators with loud shouts, all which, as well as the insult itself, Nathan bore with exemplary patience. "Friend," he said, "what does thee seek of me, that thee treats me thus?" "A fight!" replied Captain Stackpole, uttering a war-whoop; "a fight, strannger, for the love of heaven!"
Stackpole only comes to see your mother." "He was here last night," said Constance in an extreme state of delight, "with all the rest of your admirers ranged in the hall, with their hats in a pile at the foot of the staircase as a token of their determination not to go till you came home; and as they could not be induced to come up to the drawing-room Mr.
But he couldn't take a night-train when Miss Stackpole was starting in the morning; it struck him that this would be an insult to an unprotected woman. Nor could he wait until after she had gone unless he should wait longer than he had patience for. It wouldn't do to start the next day.
