Woods's station wagon was in waiting, but Paul, handing the driver his valise, and ascertaining the general direction of the house, and that it was not far distant, told him to go on and he would follow afoot. The tremor of vague anticipation had already come upon him; something that he knew not whether he feared or longed for, only that it was inevitable, had begun to possess him.
He took Woods's blows when he must and felt the pain go stabbing through his body; but he stood up and struck back and forced the fight steadily, crowding his adversary relentlessly, seeming always to strike swifter and harder. It was a bleeding fist driven into Joe Woods's throbbing throat, followed by the other fist, going piston-like, at Joe Woods's stomach, that ended the fight.
So he sent me after what he called my mare's nest. It isn't, you see no, not quite, not quite," Mr. Woods murmured, with an odd smile, and then laughed and added, lamely: "I I suppose I'm the only person who knew about it." Mr. Woods's manner was a thought strange. He stammered a little in speaking; he laughed unnecessarily; and Margaret could see that his hands trembled.
I don't want to be a millionaire, and give up the rest of my life to founding libraries and explaining to people that if they never spend any money on amusements they'll have a great deal by the time they're too old to enjoy it. I'd rather paint pictures." So that I think Margaret must have endeavoured at some time to make him accept part of Frederick R. Woods's money.
"I've been readin' for myself some, and observin' too. The Bluff folks that plays grass hockey, all over what was Bijah Woods's farm, men and girls both, has their sleeves pushed up as if they were going at a day's wash, and their collars open and hanging to the hind button, which to my mind looks shiftlesser than doin' without.
Meantime the sound of cannon came from the direction of Bentonsville. The night of the 19th caught us near Falling-Creek Church; but early the next morning the Fifteenth Corps, General C. R. Woods's division leading, closed down on Bentonsville, near which it was brought up by encountering a line of fresh parapet, crossing the road and extending north, toward Mill Creek.
"Stand still while you listen to me." They hesitated, wondering. A man growled something, his voice deep-throated and truculent. Another man laughed. The forms filling the doorway began a slow bulging outward as other forms behind crowded upon them. Within Woods's cabin there was a little noise. "You men are leaving to-day," said Steve hastily. "Just as fast as you can pull your freight.
It was a staggering thought. Also, Mr. Woods's views, at this moment, as to the advantages of wealth, might have been interesting. Kathleen stood silent for an instant, eyes downcast, face flushed. She was trembling. Then, "Billy," she asked, almost inaudibly, "do do you still want your answer?" The birds sang about them. Spring triumphed in the gardens. She looked very womanly and very pretty.
Once he saw a face there; he called out warningly and the face hastily withdrew. At last they were outside, thirteen men with their backs to him, their hands lifted. Stepping backward Steve went to Woods's cabin. "Come out, Blenham," he called curtly. Blenham cursed him but came. Stepping over Woods's body he said threateningly: "Killed him, have you? You'll swing for that."
