Kate slowly ascended the stairs, listening for Walcott, who entered the house, but, instead of coming upstairs, passed through the lower hall, going directly to a private room of Mr. Underwood's in which he received any who happened to call at the house on business. Kate went to her room, her pulse beating quickly.
Ever since Cora had gained a hearing in the police-court at Hammersmith, Alan was set down as a heartless libertine, who had grown tired of his wife, or, at any rate, as one who wanted to wash his hands of her, and throw the burden of maintaining her upon the rates. Thus it became quite a popular pastime to hound down "Poet Walcott." This is how the outcry originally began.
Walcott to-night. I sent for you for an explanation." "I did not mean to be rude, papa," Kate replied, seating herself on her father's knee and laying one arm caressingly about his neck, "but he did annoy me so to-night, he has annoyed me so often of late, I just couldn't endure it any longer." "Has Mr. Walcott ever conducted himself other than as a gentleman?"
The administration tossed by expedients Seward to Dayton Spread-eagleism One phasis of the American Union finished The fuss about Russell Pressure on the administration increases Seward, Wickoff, and the Herald Lord Lyons menaced with passports The splendid Northern army The administration not up to the occasion The new men Andrew, Wadsworth, Boutwell, Noyes, Wade, Trumbull, Walcott, King, Chandler, Wilson Lyon jumps over formulas Governor Banks needed Butler takes Baltimore with two regiments News from England The "belligerent" question Butler and Scott Seward and the diplomats "What a Merlin!"

Walcott inquired, with difficulty concealing his anger. Mr. Underwood regarded him steadily for a moment. "Mr. Walcott, taking all things into consideration, I think perhaps we had better let things remain as they are, say, for a year or so.

"I might have known as much," said Walcott, with a mock sigh of resignation, settling back comfortably among the pillows on the divan and fixing his eyes on Kate's face; "I might have known that consideration for any wish of mine could never by any chance be assigned as the motive for an act of yours." Kate made no reply, but the lines about her mouth deepened.
"Let me ask you did you come to me in any sense at the instance of your client?" said Sydney, suspiciously. "By no means. Mr. Walcott does not know I have thought of you in connection with his defence." "Nor at the instance of another?" "Certainly not. It is entirely my own idea." Sydney looked relieved.
No I will go away before I begin to be foolish again; and my boy will be waiting for me." "If you think Mr. Walcott would not object to your telling me, and if it will be any relief to you, do! Indeed, I think I would rather hear it." So Mrs.
