"Five men, besides myself six of us in all know the true inwardness of last night's round-up. There will never be a seventh." Loring's eye-glasses fell from his nose, and he was smiling shrewdly when he replaced them. "There is one small consequence that doesn't please you, I'm sure. You'll have to bury the hatchet with MacFarlane."
"I think not," Romayne answered; "but I will write down the title, and leave it here with my letter." The same evening he received a polite note from Father Benwell, informing him that the letter was forwarded, and that the book he wanted was not in Lord Loring's library.
Did she feel a vague presentiment of some evil to come from that momentary association with him? Madame Marillac, turning away again from her daughter, noticed Stella's agitation. "Surely, my poor boy doesn't alarm you?" she said. Before Stella could answer, some one outside knocked at the door. Lady Loring's servant appeared, charged with a carefully-worded message.
That running fight, past the old home, and down the valley where we stirred up Loring's besiegers and sent them whirling too why, I'd give a fortune, if I had it, to live it over again!"
Joe, whose narrative powers were not great. "He is a bookkeeper in my Uncle Josh Loring's importing concern, and a powerful smart man, they say. There's some kind of clever story about his father's leaving a load of debts, and Frank's working a deused number of years till they were paid. Good of him, wasn't it?

'I'm just pouring out Mr Loring's coffee. There! As she handed me the cup she whispered, 'We daren't talk. It's more than our place is worth. The performance of the symphony proceeded.
"They'll make it interesting for you. Loring's an old-timer and he won't quit. This thing won't be settled until something happens and I reckon it's going to happen soon." "Well, I'm sure sittin' on the dynamite," said Sundown lugubriously. "I reckoned to settle down and git m me farm to goin' and keep out of trouble.

Fernando, the oldest herder in Loring's employ, stood shading his eyes from the glare of noon as he gazed toward the distant rancho.
Father Benwell had lost little by not being present at the introduction of Winterfield to Stella. He had witnessed a plainer betrayal of emotion when they met unexpectedly in Lord Loring's picture gallery.
