"He might have said something nicer than that," Ellen remarked, with a natural protest against this undue familiarity. "I don't know why we should be spoken of as a pragmatic family," said Mrs. Witherspoon. "Of course your father has always been in business, but I don't see" Witherspoon began to grunt. "It's all right," said he. "It's all right." He had to say something.
The whole room caught its breath at once; and here and there one heard a little squeak of hysteria, cut short by some one who was not sure whether it was a joke or a scandal. "Why Sylvia!" stammered Mrs. Witherspoon, completely staggered. Then Sylvia perceived that she was mistress of the scene. There came the old rapture of conquest, that made her social genius.
"I am the nephew of Daniel Witherspoon." "Worse and worse!" said the chief of police. "We shall discuss the mistake later and at length. Of course you can easily explain how you came to impose upon these people," ironically. "Bah! the game is up.
There were angry lines down the middle of Captain Asa Shaw's forehead as he assured himself that he would soon put an end to the minister business, and Captain Crowe thumped his cane emphatically as he walked along the street. Captain John Witherspoon looked thin and eager, but a hopeful light shone in his eyes: his choice was not from his judgment, but from his heart.
"I don't think that he scraped up his principles from the Witherspoon side of the house," McGlenn declared. "If he had, we should at once have discovered in him the unmistakable trace of the hog. Oh, I don't think he will stay in the club very long. His tendency will be to drift away. All rich men are the enemies of democracy.
Witherspoon had secured this chart and loaned it to Tom, for there was always a possibility of his receiving a sudden call on business that would take him away from town, when the duty of engineering the trip must fall to the leader of the Black Bear Patrol as the second in command. That was going to be an unusually long and tedious Sunday for a good many boys in Lenox.
But I can see by Your Honor's expression that any argument upon that score would be without avail." "Entirely," remarked Witherspoon. "Kindly go on!" "Well," continued Tutt, "the law of this matter needs no elucidation. It has been settled since the time of Moses." "Of whom?" inquired Witherspoon. "You don't need to go back farther than Chief Justice Marshall so far as I am concerned."
At the Hoffman House Doctor Atwater and Witherspoon sat in conference long after the midnight chimes had sounded. When the young men separated, Atwater heartily grasped his friend's hand. "Poor Randall," he sighed. "Fool, perhaps, even as you or I; but thief and defaulter, no; never. There is some sad solution to this mystery.
Hepplewhite vaguely. "Get on, boys," ordered the captain. "Good evening, sir. Good evening, ma'am. Step lively, you!" The blue cloud faded away, bearing with it both Bibby and the burglar. Then the third footman brought the belated tea. "What a frightful thing to have happen!" grieved Mrs. Witherspoon as she poured out the tea for Mr. Hepplewhite. "You don't take cream, do you?"
"Don't leave the office before I come," he called, looking back at her. "You know I won't," she answered. At the appointed time, the next day, George Witherspoon was waiting in his library. DeGolyer came in a cab, and when he got out, he told the driver to wait. "Where is your friend?" Witherspoon asked as DeGolyer entered the room. "He'll be here within a few minutes."
