When, however, the darkness was sufficient to conceal his face, he walked quickly across the street, and to the door of the Wittleday mansion. That his answer was what he supposed it would be is evinced by the fact that, a few months later, his resignation was accepted by the Department, and Mrs. Wittleday became Mrs. Martt.
The report proved to have unusually good foundation. Within a fortnight each respectable householder received a note intimating that Mrs. Wittleday would be pleased to see self and family on the evening of the following Thursday. The time was short, and the resources of the single store at East Patten were limited, but the natives did their best, and the eventful evening brought to Mrs.
"You may call this evening for your answer, which I suppose you, with the ready conceit of your sex and profession, will have already anticipated. "Yours, very truly, HELEN WITTLEDAY." The lieutenant groaned. "It's all up, major! you'll have to marry her. 'Twould be awfully ungentlemanly to let her know there was any mistake."
The major complained rather frequently for a man who had spent years on the Plains of drafts from the front windows, which windows he finally kept closed most of the time, thus saving Mrs. Wittleday the annoyance which would certainly have resulted from the noise made by the earnest but unskilled amateur.
Such of the villagers as had chanced to sit at meat with the late Scott Wittleday, had reported that dishes with unremembered foreign names were as plenty as were the plainer viands on the tables of the old inhabitants; such East Pattenites as had not been entertained at the Wittleday board rejoiced in a prospect of believing by sight as well as by faith.
