"He might have undertaken to act for Davenport, and still have fallen in love," suggested Larcher. "Yes, I daresay, Tom, you know the treachery men are capable of," put in Edna. "But if he did that if he was in Davenport's confidence, and yet spoke of love, or showed it he was false to Davenport. And so in any case he's got to give an account of himself."
"Would you accept the two thousand, then, as Murray Davenport's right, you being a kind of an heir of his?" "I would accept the whole amount in dispute; but under that, not a cent." Bagley looked at Turl long and hard; then said, quietly: "I tell you what I'll do with you. I'll toss up for that money, the whole amount. If you win, keep it, and I'll shut up.
From the very start their enterprise had met with success, and, had it not been for Davenport's wild extravagance, they would have been little short of millionaires. But Davenport, though a most lovable character in every respect, could not keep money he no sooner had it than it was gone.
"I went out, and walked the streets, and thought the situation over. How precious it was, I now knew, and felt to the depths of my soul, as I paced the night and wondered if this outcome was Fate's last crudest joke at Murray Davenport's expense. What should I do?

A look of displeasure crossed Davenport's brow, as both young men turned around.
The settlers builded as well as they knew to keep their houses warm; and while the vast and virgin forests supplied abundant and accessible wood for fuel, Governor Eaton's nineteen great fireplaces and Parson Davenport's thirteen, could be well filled; but by 1744 Franklin could write of these big chimneys as the "fireplace of our fathers;" for the forests had all disappeared in the vicinity of the towns, and the chimneys had shrunk in size.
