"Who has had access to this bottle?" he thundered then, and his voice boded little good to any meddler. "Mr. Brenton and myself." "Who else?" "Nobody." The veins about the temples began throbbing heavily. Brenton could see the skin about them tighten to the pulse-beat. Between them, the keen eyes gleamed like balls of polished metal surcharged with electricity.
THE BRENTON MURDER. The Autopsy shows that Morphine was the Poison used. Enough found to have killed a Dozen Men. Mrs. Brenton arrested for Committing the Horrible Deed. For a moment Brenton was so bewildered and amazed at the awful headlines which he read, that he could hardly realize what had taken place.
It was he who, with six rowing-boats, cut out the 44-gun frigate Hermione from under the muzzles of two hundred shore-guns in the harbour of Puerto Cabello. No finer action was done in the whole war. There's Jaheel Brenton, with the whiskers. It was he who attacked twelve Spanish gunboats in his one little brig, and made four of them strike to him.
Now, for God's sake, give me back the best of your religion. In a time like this, science can't help us much. It shows us all the worst of things, and shuts down before whatever best there is. If your religion is any good at all, now is the time we need to make it count. Else, what's its use?" Before the unexpected, swift appeal, Brenton was dumb.
Instead, he forced himself to think of Whittenden, of the charge that Whittenden had laid on him concerning Brenton. It had seemed a bit unfair at the time; now, looking backward, Opdyke could see that, as usual, Whittenden had been wise. Responsibilities, such as that one, would be very steadying. The need of holding the next man fast would tighten his grip upon himself.
As for Brenton To her extreme surprise, Olive's mind stopped short, and refused to continue the comparison. The curate, after the manner of his kind, was having tea with a feminine member of his congregation. This time, the honour had fallen upon Olive, who had received it with temperate resignation rather than exuberant joy.
That fellow, sir, is gifted with a nose for news which has no equal in America. He will ferret out a case that he once starts on with an unerringness that would charm you. Yes, sir, I got him his present situation on this paper, and I can tell you it was a good one." "He must have been a warm friend of yours?" said Brenton, indifferently, as if he did not take much interest in the eulogy.
The wise men are those who appreciate and understand that they are in an entirely new world, with new powers and new limitations, and who govern themselves accordingly from the first, as they will certainly do later on." "My dear sir," said Brenton, somewhat offended, "if what you say is true, and I am really a dead man " "Alive," corrected the other. "Well, alive, then.
Stratton quickly glanced up the page of his notebook, and marked a little cross before the name of Stephen Roland. "You had another disagreement with him before, if I might term it so, had you not?" Mrs. Brenton looked at him surprised. "What makes you think so?" she said. "Because you hesitated when I spoke of it." "Well, we had what you might call a disagreement once at Lucerne, Switzerland."
The habits of his life would account for that; he was too busy saving other men's souls to give much thought to the preservation of his own body. Even in a small and humdrum country parish, the souls of men need careful shepherding; every now and then there comes a petty crisis when they confess to a desire for outside guidance, and it was in such crises that Scott Brenton found his opportunity.
