They wouldn't let you get on. And I'd be ashamed to be seen with you." "Oh! I'm sorry, Miss Trigg," murmured Nancy. "Being sorry won't take the mud off that dress or bring a new pair of stockings or clean those boots. We've got to have a cab a closed cab. I wouldn't go home with you in anything else." "I I'll go home alone, Miss Trigg," said the contrite girl. "No!
Indeed, as Washington Trigg looked around on the imperturbably ironical faces of his companions, he knew that they felt more true joy over the blunder than they would in the possession of the real statue. But an exclamation from the fifth member, who was examining the box, arrested their attention. "There's suthin' else here!"
"What the deuce did she mean by speaking of that closet?" "Reckon she allowed we kept some fancy drinks in there," said Trigg; "and calkilated that we wanted the marble stand and mirror to put our glasses on and make it look like a swell private bar, that's all!" "Humph," said the president.
An exceeding fierce battle immediately began, for about fifteen minutes, when we, being overpowered by numbers, were obliged to retreat, with the loss of sixty-seven men, seven of whom were taken prisoners. The brave and much-lamented Colonels Todd and Trigg, Major Harland, and my second son, were among the dead.
Yet it was in connection with this outlay that the event occurred which had a singular effect upon the fancy of the members. Washington Trigg, a Western member, who had brought up the architect and builder from San Francisco, had returned in a state of excitement.
By violent threats and repeated exertions, with their swords drawn and flashing in the sunlight, Colonels Todd, Trigg and Boone at length succeeded, after reaching the opposite bank, in restoring something like order to the half-crazed troops.
Doubtless my mother noticed it, too, and shed a few compassionate tears for the poor man, once more homeless on the great plain. But he could not be kept after that insane outbreak. To strike their children was to my parents a crime; it changed their nature and degraded them, and Mr. Trigg could not be forgiven. Mr.
Trigg, Major Harlin who commanded their Infantry, Major Magara and a number more of their officers. Our loss is Monsr.
"But I'm opposed to waiting for Logan," said Colonel Trigg; "as delays on the point of a battle are rarely ever beneficial. I think we had better take up with Colonel Boone's second proposition divide our forces, and proceed at once to action; though, for the matter of prudence, it may be advisable to send a couple of scouts ahead, before deciding upon any thing positive."
Nancy's private expenditures occasioned even Miss Trigg to say that she was "light-minded" and would never know how to spend money. They did not take into consideration that Nancy had nobody to give her the little trifles so dear to every growing girl's heart. She never had a present. That is, nothing save some little things at Christmas from some of the smaller girls whom she had helped.
