Truly, Cora was bound to the rack with cords of conventionality as fine as cobwebs, yet as strong as ropes. She did nothing but sit still in her chamber and brood; dreading the entrance of her abhorrent room-mate every moment. But Rose Stillwater who read Cora Rothsay's thoughts as easily as she could read a familiar book acted with her usual discretion.
The air was crystal-clear and dry; the shoulder of the mountain was high above it; Gregg saw a breathless stretch of the cattle country at one sweep of his eyes. Stillwater was still a long way off, and far away across the plain he saw a tiny moving dot that grew slowly. It was the train heading for Stillwater, and that train he must beat to the station.
But who could there be near enough to him to send flower-pots and framed pictures without great expense? There was no one in Stillwater whom he had ever seen, unless indeed Helen Minorkey were there yet, and he had long since given up all expectation and all desire of receiving any attention at her hands.
Every one of these wardens was our friend, and the deputy wardens, too. Abe Hall, Will Reed, A. D. Westby, Sam A. Langum, T. W. Alexander, and Jack Glennon were all partisans of ours.

"After all, I don't know ... now ... why I should be," I admitted.
It was a rather lonely country district a fact of which I was glad, for life had been going somewhat awry with me and my heart was sore and rebellious over many things that have nothing to do with this narration.

Gates was jealous of him because he was the idol of his soldiers. Arnold had no high opinion of Gates. After Arnold turned traitor, every one seems to have thought it a duty to give him a kick.
I lost thirty-two pounds, I said, 'and I ain't going to be bothered to-night. Well, sir, he kind of shook his head, but he went away, and I got to thinking about it. Long about half-past seven I went down and got a time-table. There was a train to Stillwater at eight-forty-two." "That night?" "Sure.
I was glad of the chance to get a husband, and a home. So all was arranged. He advised me not to tell the Warrens that we were to be married, however. So at the end of my quarter I went away to a hotel, where Captain Stillwater came for me and took me away to the church where we were married." "You had no knowledge that Alfred Whyte was dead, and that you were free to wed!"
Durgin, pleadingly, "I didn't mean you, William, but Peters and that set." "I thought you couldn't mean me," said William, thrusting his hands into the pockets of his monkey-jacket, and sauntering off in the direction of the Stillwater hotel, where there was a choice company gathered, it being Saturday night, and the monthly meeting of the Union.
