The manager of the restaurant, on his way through the room, recognised Wingate and came to pay his respects. "Did you hear about the little trouble over in the Court, Mr. Wingate?" he enquired.
There was a moment's intense silence. Dredlinton opened his lips and closed them again. Phipps was exhibiting remarkable self-control. His tone, as he addressed Wingate, was grave but almost natural. "Under these circumstances, do you wish to repudiate your bargain?" he asked. "We must at least know where we are." Wingate turned to Josephine. "The matter," he decided, "is not in my hands.
Ah didn't sawed him close 'nuf, an' den Ah didn't sawed him at all." "He oughter be strung up anyway," suggested a voice. "Don't get excited!

Wingate knew that Molly Pierrepont was the mistress of one of Wilmington's best citizens, a bitter Democrat, and a reputed leader of the White Supremacy League; that she was well cared for, that her gowns, etc., equaled in quality and construction those of her paramour's wife, and, considering her love for such ease and luxury, to come out and reveal the doings, and openly denounce the schemes of the party of her paramour, was a sacrifice that a woman of her character was not generally ready to make in fact, such thoughts did not find lodgment in her brain.
"Are you the doctor?" asked Elfreda as he rode up and swung a hand to them. "Yes." "Where did you leave Lieutenant Wingate?" asked Grace. "About ten miles down the trail. I got here as quickly as possible. To be brief, we were attacked from ambush. The lieutenant's horse was shot from under him. We both began shooting, but he yelled to me, 'Go on, Doc.

Lady Amesbury and Sarah Baldwin and a few others are coming." "Lady Dredlinton, by any chance?" Kendrick asked. "Lady Dredlinton, certainly." "I'll turn up soon after one. And, Wingate." "Well?"

He crossed the room and rang the bell. Once more a servant in plain clothes made his appearance with phenomenal quickness. "Send to her ladyship's room," Wingate directed, "and enquire the name and address of Lord Dredlinton's doctor. Let him be fetched here at once. Tell two of the others to come down. Lord Dredlinton must be carried into his bedroom."
