"I don't want to seem inhospitable, but if you're going to reach the Atwoods' on time you'd better be starting." There was a general scattering and a donning of outer garments. The boys picked up the bags and the Club started for the bridge, Dr. Watkins and Miss Merriam going with them. When the Ethels had called on Mrs.
At Cowan, Colonel Watkins, of the Sixth Kentucky Cavalry, reported to me with twelve hundred mounted men. Having heard during the night that the enemy had halted on the mountain near the University an educational establishment on the summit I directed Watkins to make a reconnoissance and find out the value of the information.
I sat down on the stool, staring about the compartment, realizing suddenly how well fortune had served my cause the chance to impersonate the drunken sailor; the meeting with Watkins, my chance words to Estada on deck, and now this translation from forecastle to cabin.
Watkins had received his baptism of fire in the Soudan, and, like the rest, did not fear the sharp ping, followed by the dull thud, of the Mauser, or the deeper swish of the Martini. No one got used to shells.
He had gone through the interview so well, and it had terminated so admirably, that he almost began to wish he had expressly stipulated for the settlement of the annual five hundred on himself. ‘May I come in?’ said Mr. Gabriel Parsons, peeping in at the door. ‘You may,’ replied Watkins. ‘Well, have you done it?’ anxiously inquired Gabriel.
"She had a special gift on coming of age, and she has been looking about for an opportunity for throwing it away" my wife had never sympathized with my cousin, Maud Vantweekle. "She had better save it for her trousseau, if she goes on much more with that young professor. Aunt Mary should look after her." Watkins rose to go. "Hold on a minute," I said.
Watkins led the way up the main-mast ratlines, and Cole was first into the fore shrouds, the others following eagerly. I watched them lay out on the yards and was heartened to hear the fellows sing as they worked, the canvas melting away as if by magic.
But they did not see how they could overcome this annoyance without offending the woman. At the end of the month Mr. Day was startled by the increase in the household bills. Mrs. Watkins had served them rather better food, it was true, than they had been getting of late; but a good many cutlets, sweetbreads, chops and steaks, seemed never to have appeared on the dinner table.
‘Don’t you think it would have been much better if I had left you in that wretched hole I found you in this morning?’ retorted Parsons bluntly. ‘Well—well—I only made a suggestion,’ said poor Watkins Tottle, with a deep sigh.
The Watkins, Hills, Walkers, Glasscocks, and Adamses all soon sided with the new party. A press in its support was greatly needed, and was soon established, and given in charge of Cosein E. Bartlett, than whom no man was better calculated for such a service as was demanded of him. There were not at this time a dozen newspapers in the State.
