That afternoon Conniston left everything in the hands of his foremen. He did not once go to the ditch to see what they were doing. Instead he took Truxton's note-book from the table in the tent Truxton was still in a deep stupor and from one o'clock until dark worked over it, seeking desperately to grasp every detail which he must know later and to plan for the morrow and the morrows to come.
"I suppose you'd think it a favour if I'd pot Marlanx for you to-morrow." "It doesn't matter whether he's potted or not, my friend. She will not go back to him. He will have to find another prisoner for his household." Truxton's thoughts went with a shudder to the underground room and the fair prisoner who had shared it with him.
Eckfeldt brought me five medals, four of which I sent by Mr. Ross; the other shall be disposed of as you direct. The die of Truxton's medal broke after fifty-two had been struck. I suppose Truxton will feel more pain for this accident than he would to hear of the death of his friend T. Coxe.
He caught sight of the revolver at Truxton's side for the first time. The instant of alarm passed and a braver smile than ever came. Ah, here was a knight who would fight for his lady love! Good fellow! Bravo! At last his small store of food lay exposed.
"I am not saying it to be nice." "Aren't you oh !" She gave a quick exclamation. "What's the matter?" "I dropped my fan." "I'll go and get it," he said, and just then the music started. "No," said Becky, "never mind now. This is your dance with Mary and she mustn't be kept waiting." "Aren't you dancing this?" "It is Truxton's, and I begged off. Run along, dear boy."
Before four he had saddled his horse, rolled into a neat bundle a blanket and a couple of quilts from the cot upon which he had slept last night, tied them behind his saddle, and was ready for the coming of Bat Truxton. Then Truxton on horseback joined him. Conniston mounted, acknowledged Truxton's short "Good mornin'," and rode with him away from the sleeping village and out toward the south.
The closing exercises of the schools have been hurried up this year, as the weather is exceedingly warm, and the Board of Health fear a return of the terrible scourge, yellow fever, that so devastated this fair city five years ago. Next week, Madam Truxton's seminary closes, and that is one week before the institute does. Invitations to Madam's levee are already out.
It has been a year, nearly, since Mark and I secretly pledged our love, and he promised then that we should be married soon after I finished at Madam Truxton's. How fondly I have looked forward to that coming day! It has been the one single hope of my miserable life; and now that the time draws so near, is it possible that my dream must vanish into nothingness?
The dash of the three hundred through the gates and down the avenue was the most spectacular experience in Truxton's life. He was up with Quinnox and General Braze, galloping well in front of the yelling troop.
He wanted me to be happy as long as I could. He's a dear boy, Becky but he's married " She went on presently with an effort. "He has been married over two years and, Becky he has married Mary Flippin." "Aunt Claudia " "He married her in Petersburg before he went to France with the first ambulance corps. They decided not to tell anyone. Mary took Truxton's middle name.
