Penway felt it incumbent upon him to speak again. "Dear old Kirk," he mumbled. "Nothing of the kind," said Mrs. Porter sharply. "Mr. Winfield is a scoundrel of the worst type, and if you are as intimate a friend of his as your words imply, it does not argue well for your respectability." Mr. Penway opened his mouth feebly and closed it again.
With little delay the Cherokees, too, were added to this list, although a group of irreconcilables resisted until 1838, when they were forcibly ejected by a contingent of United States troops under General Winfield Scott. All of this was done not without strong protest from other people besides the Indians. Some who objected did so for political effect.
The Eastern Department was under the command of General Winfield Scott, and the Western under that of General Gaines, and by reference to a map it will be seen that the line passed directly through the theater of hostilities in Florida. The meeting of these two distinguished generals was purely accidental.
"Ruth," said Aunt Jane, after a close scrutiny of Winfield, "if you' relayin' out to marry that awkward creeter, what ain't accustomed to a parlour, you'd better do it now, while him and the minister are both here." Winfield was willing, but Ruth said that one wedding at a time was enough in any family, and the minister, pledged to secrecy, took his departure.
The "Grant Garfield" had been an after-thought, and he had been prompted thereto by hearing another boy give his name to which he was probably justly entitled as "George William Winfield Scott Jones." Jim was not going to be outdone, or to be satisfied with four names, when here was a fellow with five; hence the "Grant Garfield" on the spur of the moment.
Winfield was tall and thin, black haired, black eyed, slightly but not offensively hook nosed, dignified, gracious, intellectual, magnetic, optimistic. He was forty-eight years of age.
Now let us discuss things quietly." "She is responsible for the whole thing, father," cried Bailey. Mr. Bannister rose. "There is nothing to discuss," he said shortly. "I have no wish to speak to you at all. As you appear to have played a large part in this affair, I may as well tell you that it is settled. Ruth will not marry Mr. Winfield."
Porter looked round the room with some approval. "You have a nice taste in pictures, John," she said. "That is a Corot, surely, above the mantelpiece?" "Will you " "But about this little matter. You dislike the idea of Ruth marrying Mr. Winfield? Have you seen Mr. Winfield?" "I have not." "Then how can you possibly decide whether he is a fit husband for Ruth?" "I know all about him."
The once large establishment has had its day and has now ceased to be, though why it should have fallen to pieces so completely is not readily to be explained. There are, however, matters concerning the earlier days of Cambridge Street Works that well deserve to be recognised and recorded. I think, indeed, I may say that Mr. R.W. Winfield was the local pioneer of compulsory education.
"That sounds logical enough," said Eugene, "but wouldn't the right sort of a scheme just naturally draw to itself the right sort of people, if it were presented in the right way? Don't you fix the conditions by your own attitude?" "You do, you do," replied Winfield, easily. "If you give the matter sufficient care and attention it can be done. The pity is you can be too fine at times.
