"I don't understand." "You will presently. Thorp, my dear fellow, will you see that the servants are cleared out of the house at once. Let them all go to the show at the New Academy at my expense, of course and they needn't return until noon to-morrow. Make them understand that these are their orders. Then come back here, if you will."
Still, if Madame la Duchesse will permit, and you, Thorp, have no objection Good! Ask Mr. Blake to do me the favor of joining us at dinner." A few minutes later Mr. Roger Blake appeared at the door of the dining-room. He was a young man with a profusion of fair hair and a good deal of color, the latter heightened considerably by the somewhat embarrassing circumstances attending his introduction.
Mis' Thorp wus in heer this mornin', an' she said Jasper Webb swore like rips when the administrator tol' 'im the trade wus closed with Luke as yore agent. You orter do well with the investment; you got it cheap; you know how to keep up stock, an' the hack-line will pay with the mail it carries an' the passenger travel twixt heer an' Darley."
"With one who bade me tell you that he should, if possible, pay you a visit before Christmas." "I cannot think who that could be," said my friend, smiling. "It must be Major Thorp," suggested Mrs. Jelf. I shook my head. "It was not Major Thorp," I replied; "it was a near relation of your own, Mrs. Jelf." "Then I am more puzzled than ever," rep! my hostess. "Pray tell me who it was."
On his return home, however, he found waiting him a telegram from Colonel Thorp, mailed from Alexandria, announcing an early date for the meeting of shareholders at Bay City, so that he found it necessary to leave immediately after the next day, which was the Sabbath. It was no small disappointment to him that he was to have no opportunity of opening his heart to his friend.
What became of the bear was never known; but it was probably blown to atoms. Other pioneer women were effective with firearms, and Mrs. Sarah Thorp of Ashtabula County was one of these. The family fell short of food in their first year in the backwoods, and in June, 1799, the husband started to Pennsylvania, twenty miles away, to get supplies.
Thorp and requests the honor of his company at dinner, Tuesday, March the thirtieth, at nine o'clock. "4020 Madison Avenue." Dishonor, death, and dinner a curious trio to choose between. Yet to a man in my present position each of them appealed in its own way, and I'm not ashamed to confess it.
The only pupils who seemed angry over the matter were the boys on the dance committee, who were incensed at the breaking up of the affair. "I know those Darewell Chums had the most to do with it," said Denny Thorp, who was the leader of the crowd that had captured Ned. "I'll get even with them." "It looks to me as though they had gotten even with us," remarked Peter Enderby, Denny's chum.
And when they came into the Base-court, Ralph spoke to the carles of the thorp, who stood huddled together sore afeard, and said: "Throw open the gates. These riders who have so scared you are naught else than the Champions of the Dry Tree who are coming back to their stronghold that they may keep you sure against wicked tyrants who would oppress you."
Then he turned a little and looked at the houses of the Thorp lying dark about the snowy ways under the starlit heavens of the winter morning: dark they were indeed and grey, save where here and there the half-burned Yule-fire reddened the windows of a hall, or where, as in one place, the candle of some early waker shone white in a chamber window.
