"If you're going to do it, then why don't you?" said Woodville. Dick moved slowly forward, still watching the eyes of the Mississippian. He believed now that Woodville, agile and alert though he might be, had not fully recovered his strength. There was terrific steam in that last punch and the head of the man who had received it might well be buzzing yet.
He hoped Ben had not heard anything about the treasure on board; for he feared that revenge, if not dishonesty, might prompt him to commit a crime. The visitors were warned ashore, and the Woodville departed for Port Rock, where she arrived at about six o'clock. The excursion-party went on shore, after the usual compliments to the steamer and her commander.
My cards, being part of my wedding outfit, necessarily had the false name printed on them Mrs. Eustace Woodville. The servant showed me into a front room on the ground-floor, and disappeared with my card in his hand. Looking about me, I noticed a door in the wall opposite the window, communicating with some inner room. The door was not of the ordinary kind.
The answer was given without hesitation. I had married, honestly believing my husband's name to be the name under which I had known him. The witnesses to my marriage my uncle, my aunt, and Benjamin had acted, as I had acted, in perfect good faith. Under those circumstances, there was no doubt about the law. I was legally married. Macallan or Woodville, I was his wife.
Woodville! the heat of this room is certainly too much for you, take my smelling-bottle. Let me open the window." I was just able to answer, "Pray say nothing! Let me slip out into the open air!" I made my way unobserved to the landing, and sat down on the stairs to compose myself where nobody could see me.
I consider such people the greatest demoralizers of the age, flaunting their ill-gotten wealth in the faces of the honest, and causing the young to think that if they only get money, no matter how, society will receive them all the same. I am annoyed beyond measure that we should seem to give them any countenance whatever. Moreover, it is necessary that I go to Woodville."
The misfortunes of Woodville were not of the hearts core like mine; his was a natural grief, not to destroy but to purify the heart and from which he might, when its shadow had passed from over him, shine forth brighter and happier than before. Woodville was the son of a poor clergyman and had received a classical education.
As his arm fell, he noted that Arizona had seen something which fascinated him. His eyes followed every gesture of the sheriff's hand. "Is that the whole story?" asked Arizona. "The whole thing," declared Kern stoutly, and he glared at the man from the southland. "Because if it's anything worse," said Arizona innocently, "we'd ought to know it. The honor of Woodville is at stake."
Macallan may not have been twice married? and that her first husband's name may not have been Woodville?" The landlady's astonishment subsided in its turn, and the landlady's curiosity succeeded as the ruling influence of the moment. Substantially, as I have already said of her, she was a good-natured woman. "I never thought of that," she said.
While they were still fighting Edward married secretly a beautiful woman, a widow, called Elizabeth Woodville, and soon after this he was so successful that he found he could settle in London and have himself crowned king, while Henry and his wife and son had to fly to Scotland. Then Edward told his great nobles that he was married, and for a time all went on well.
