Whisky Bill and Jim Price with an escort of two cavalry troopers were driving two wagons of Thomas Venable's, loaded with hay for Camp Grant, when fifty Apaches ambushed them in the cañon. Price was killed at the first volley and one of the soldiers was badly wounded in the face. The three living men took refuge under the wagons and stood off several rushes of the savages.
Venable's and there he was indeed a lion, as an unmarried man with money cannot but be in a company of ladies for money to a lady is what soil and sun and rain are to a flower is that without which she must cease to exist. But still later, when he was alone in bed perhaps with the supper he ate at Mrs.
He moved so that he held Endymion's restless head over the line marked by Venable's boot. "All right, Charlie?" Venable asked of Granger. "All right," grunted Granger. "And wrong as hell. Get it over with." Venable raised his arm, his revolver high above his head. The bystanders swung up to their horses' backs.
It was at the Venables' boarding-house, indeed, that he first had met the dark-eyed and vivacious Nancy, who was intimate with the faded daughters of the family, Miss Augusta and Miss Sally Anne. When Nancy's Uncle Thomas came to the city for one of his infrequent visits, she always placed him in Mrs. Venable's care.
I well remember hearing him describe a visit he made to Patrick Henry, when the orator lived at Venable's Ford in Prince Edward, and his finding him in the shade of an oak playing the fiddle for the amusement of a group of girls and boys. His first regular teacher was Walker Murray, with whom he prosecuted the study of Latin. At this school he began his intimacy with John Randolph.
Venable started, stared at him and demanded sharply: "What's that!" But Dart had fled wildly to Jimmie Denbigh, the second starter and had whispered the same words to him. Denbigh stared as Venable had done and then with swift, long strides returned from his horse to Venable's side, close to the starting line.
Some man who has built B'anch Banks or 'ailway stations. That's if you think it pleases God.... B'eak young Venable's hea't.... Only why should you not let me make a place fo' you' message? Why shouldn't it be me? You must have a place. You've got 'to p'each somewhe'." "As a man, not as a priest." "Then p'each as a man. You must still wea' something." "Just ordinary clothes."
Venable's not sitting as lightly as comfort required the things Victor Dorn had said came trailing drearily through his mind. What kind of an article would Dorn print? Those facts about the campaign fund certainly would look badly in cold type especially if Dorn had the proofs.
