She wouldn't even fall in love with Arnold Withrow, who was her only chance. For I saw that Arnold, if he ever came, would, fatally, love the place. She might have put up with the stock-broking, but she never could have borne his liking the view. Yes, I was very unhappy as I drove into Hebron; and when I finally achieved the Pullman at the Junction, I was unhappier still.
Look at me ten years ago I was another Maurice. And this woman I tell you she knows men. She don't care whether a man is rich or poor, tall or short, thin or fat, so long as she likes him. And I tell you she loves Maurice as well as she can love and she's not a good enough woman there it is. And they're all saying you're likely to marry Withrow. Wait now.
Perhaps I was a little worried, vicariously, for Withrow. Remember that I thought he cared for her. Miss Thurston's pity for Kathleen Somers was the kind that shuts the door on the pitied person. If she had thought Kathleen Somers had a future, she wouldn't have been so kind. I may give it to you as my private opinion that Mildred Thurston wanted Withrow herself.
He's got a smart vessel in the Withrow, but he can't run away from Maurice. No, nor beat him I doubt with both in trim. But wait a while let the day of the race get near and Maurice to thinking it over, and you'll see him flyin' home." We hoped so. For ourselves we went home on the Colleen. There was nothing else for us to do. We had quite a time of it that trip with O'Donnell.
Charles M. Trueheart, now a physician in Galveston, Texas. Thomas M. Wade, of Lexington, Virginia. W. H. White, of Lexington, Virginia. Calvin Wilson, of Cumberland County. John Withrow, of Lexington, Virginia. William M. Wilson, of Rockbridge, who went by the name of "Billy Zu.," abbreviated for zouave; and many other fine fellows, most of whom have long since "passed over the river."
That was a good deal to say, for it was a great fleet of vessels sailing out of Gloucester; but even so, even allowing for a young skipper's pride in his first crack vessel, it meant a whole lot coming like that from Maurice Blake. And on top of all that Maurice and Withrow had to quarrel, though what about I never found out.
And on top of all that he's so carried away with this other woman this same woman and she caring more for Maurice's eyelash than Withrow's whole two hundred and ten pounds Withrow is so carried away with her that he is ready to elope with her elope with her! I know that never mind how.
Reports were that she was gaining all the time, and that she lived out-of-doors staring at Habakkuk and his brethren, gathering wild flowers and pressing them between her palms. She seemed determined to face another winter there alone with Melora, Miss Willis wrote. Withrow set his jaw when that news came.
There they were the two of them Hollis and Withrow yes, Withrow there when I broke in on them, and Maurice between them drunk. Yes, sir, drunk and helpless. They called it a wine-party, as though a man couldn't get as good and drunk on wine in a private residence as ever he could on whiskey or rum in the back room of a saloon.
"That little beating the Johnnie got didn't lose any in the telling by Sam Hollis and his gang, did it, Joe?" said Clancy to me, and then he went around borrowing all the money he could to bet the Johnnie Duncan would beat the Withrow in the race. But would Maurice now enter at all?
