Then suddenly her whole manner changed. "Excuse me," she smiled, "I didn't get your name?" "M. Coquenil," he said. "Won't you sit over here? This chair is more comfortable. That's right. Now, I will tell you exactly what happened." And, settling herself near him, Pussy Wilmott entered bravely upon the hardest half hour of her life. After all, he was a man and she would do the best she could!
There were Davy and his bosom comrade, the eldest orphan. They certainly would have divined that something unusual was transpiring in the old storeroom; but just now they had no time for such trivial things. For the race between Sawed-Off Wilmott and young Lochinvar, begun on the last show day, and continued hotly all winter, was fast reaching a culminating point.
Love affairs she might have had, but no one could say when or where or with whom she had had them; and if, as seemed likely, she was the woman in this Ansonia case, then she had kept her relations with Kittredge in profoundest secrecy. As offsetting this, however, Coquenil secured information that connected Mrs. Wilmott directly with Martinez.
Wilmott, and possibly clever forgeries. "Really!" exclaimed Addison. Coquenil hoped that Mr. Wilmott would give him the notes in question in exchange for genuine ones. This would help the investigation. "Of course, my dear sir," said the American, "but I haven't the notes, they were spent long ago." Coquenil was sorry to hear this he wondered if Mr.
"I did it for for what she had been to me. It meant ruin and disgrace for her and well, if she could ask such a thing, I could grant it. It was like paying a debt, and I paid mine." The judge turned to Mrs. Wilmott: "Did you know that he had ceased to love you?" Pussy Wilmott, with her fine eyes to the floor, answered almost in a whisper: "Yes, I knew it."
Sawed-Off Wilmott and the young Lochinvar from Glenoro came regularly, on alternate evenings, to see Ella Anne Long, and never found ropes tied across the gate, nor whips nor lap-robes missing, as in Tim's unregenerate days. Even Miss Weir testified that sometimes he would not do anything particularly outrageous in school for a week at a time.
At the foot of the hill on which it stood the streets of the town began, and as she sat on the rock she could hear faint shouts and cries coming out of Wilmott Street. A hedge separated the orchard from the fields on the hillside. Mary intended to sit by the tree until darkness came creeping over the land and to try to think out some plan regarding her future.
As if this were not excitement enough for a lifetime, right on top of all that night's adventures came another shock. When the population of Elmbrook returned, after the rescue of the doctor, Sawed-Off Wilmott rushed through the village, wild-eyed, with the astounding news that Ella Anne Long had disappeared with the ne'er-do-weel from Glenoro!
Wilmott home at tea time, and as he strolled along, turning the problem over in his mind, he found it conceivable that this eccentric lady, in a moment of ennui or for the novelty of the thing, might have consented to dine with Martinez in a private room. It was certain no scruples would have deterred her if the adventure had seemed amusing, especially as Martinez had no idea who she was.
