The insects in the meadow continued their monotonous humming, and, somewhere, a hen had been stricken with fear and was cackling loudly. Finally, Mrs. Goodwin said: "Well, I'm goin' up to th' turn a' th' road, anyhow." Mrs. Willets and Mrs. Joe Peterson, her particular friends, cried out at this temerity, but she said: "Well, I'm goin', anyhow." She called Bronson. "Come on, Jerozel.
If he don't, I'm comin' for you!" He holstered his gun, stooped, lifted Lawler and gently swung him over his shoulder; and without glancing back at Warden strode to the stairs, out into the street and made his way to the Willets Hotel, a crowd of curious citizens at his heels. Della Wharton had watched from one of the windows of her room in the hotel.
For when they had ridden into town taking the back way in order to avoid any sleepless citizens that might be about it was past midnight. Lawler had timed himself to reach town at about that hour, knowing that with the exception of a brothel or two, Willets would be dark. He had been fortunate.
For standing before one of the plate-glass cases and patting into place with deft fingers the satin bow of a hand-wrought chemise was Ray Willets, in her shiny little black serge skirt and the braver of her two white shirtwaists. Miss Jevne quickened her pace. Ray turned. Her bright brown eyes grew brighter at sight of Miss Jevne's wondrous black.
Warden went toward the Wolf, and Della walked down the street to her horse, mounted and rode through mounds of back-yard refuse to the rear of the Willets Hotel. She got a man out to stable her horse, and a few minutes later she was in the room she had occupied on the night Lawler brought her to town from the line cabin. She was still pale, but now there was a smile on her lips.
She's going to get him into something bad some day. He'll do anything she wants. And she's capable of putting him up to anything." "Willets is weak, when it comes to women ... don't drink much ... a hard worker ... everybody likes him....
The superintendent reached forward to press the button that would summon Applicant No. 180. But before his finger touched it Ray Willets turned and came back swiftly. She held the card out before his surprised eyes. "I can't fill this out. If I do I won't get the job. I work over at the Halsted Street Bazaar. You know the Cheap Store.
"The boss's trail is sure hard to anticipate," said Shorty. "There's the state goin' loco over him nominatin' him for governor, an' folks in Willets makin' more fuss over him than they did over the President the time he stopped for two minutes in town. Well, you'd think a man would be sort of fussed up himself, over that kind of a deal. But what does the boss do?
At the same moment came a faint cry not a cry, either only a faint, queer sound. "She's awfully little, but I guess she'll make out." It was Dr. Willets talking of the baby. Angela's baby. Now the nurse had it. That was Angela's flesh they had been cutting. That was Angela's wound they were sewing. This wasn't life. It was a nightmare. He was insane and being bedeviled by spirits.
'He hasn't put out his candles yet, I see. Edward glanced at the window also, and hastily murmuring that he had changed his mind forgotten something and must return to London, mounted his horse again and rode away; leaving the Willets, father and son, looking at each other in mute astonishment.
