I have met so many bishops, officially and otherwise, that I am not in the least afraid of them. Nor do generals make me nervous when I am not myself in uniform. But a combination of bishop and general was new to me. I felt exactly as I did in 1875, when Mr. Waterfield of Temple Grove tested my knowledge of Latin to see what class I was fit for. There was no real cause for nervousness.
Enter MATTIE and BILL. Tho. Thae'rt a domned villain! Wheer's mo Mattie? WATERFIELD knocks THOMAS down. Bill. O Lord! the swell's murdered old daddy! All but GER. rush together. COLONEL GERVAISE seizes WATERFIELD. MATTIE throws herself on her knees beside THOMAS and lifts his head. Mat. Father! father! Look at me! It's Mattie! your own wicked Mattie! Look at her once, lather dear! Bill.
They stopped at one of the gates of the works, and Tom instructed Koku to bring out and put into the car certain boxes and tools that he wished to take with him. Then he drove on, taking the road to Waterfield. This way led through farmlands and patches of woods, a rough country in part. A mile out of the limits of Shopton the road edged a deep valley, the sidehill sparsely wooded.
Damon, having delivered his message, and remarking that his preparations for leaving were nearly completed, went back to Waterfield, from there to proceed to New York in a few days with Tom and Ned, to meet Professor Bumper. "Well, I guess we have everything in pretty good shape," remarked Tom to his chum a day or so after the visit of Mr. Damon.
I must clear my brain. "I know what I'll do. I'll get in my motor-boat and take a run over to Waterfield to see Mr. Damon. Maybe he's home by this time. Then I can ask him what Mr. Foger wanted to see him about, if he did call." It was a fine May morning, and Tom was soon in his boat, the Arrow, gliding over Lake Carlopa, the waters of which sparkled in the sun.
It will take several weeks, for they don't have good mail service to that part of Africa. I hope Mr. Illingway sends us a better map." "So do I," assented Tom. "But even with the one we have I'd take a chance and look for the underground city." "I'll mail the letter," went on Mr. Damon, who was as eager over the prospective adventure as was Tom. "I'm going back home to Waterfield I think.
And with such a contract as you have been offered " "Bless my bootsoles!" ejaculated Mr. Damon, getting up and tramping about the room in his excitement. "I thought the trolley cars that run between Shopton and Waterfield were about the fastest things on rails." "Not much. The trolley car is a narrow and prescribed manner of using electricity for motive power.
Enter COL. GERVAISE. Col. G. Gone again! and without his breakfast! My poor boy! There's something very wrong with you! It's that girl! It must be! But there's conscience in him yet! It is all my fault. If I had been a father to him, this would never have happened. If he were to marry the girl now? Only, who can tell but she led him astray? I have known such a thing. Enter WATERFIELD. Wat. Is Mr.
She's at the back door, Mr. William. Col. G. Who is, Bill? Miss Lacordere? Bill. Right you air! COL. G. hastens to the door. CON. peeps in and draws lack. COL. G. follows her. WATERFIELD approaches MATTIE. Wat. Miss Pearson, if that's Mat. I don't know you don't even know your name. Wat. You hear her say it! She don't know me! Mat. Could you try and rise, father? I want to get out of this.
G. Mr. Waterfield, sir, would you mind stepping into the room again for a moment? Clifford, ma'am, would you please get a glass of wine for master? Exit MRS. C. into the house. Ger. William! William! Col. G. Yes, sir. Ger. Send him away. Don't let him stop there. I have nothing to say to him. Col. G. He shan't trouble you, sir. I'll take care of that. Tho.
