It was followed by his own name uttered sardonically by Clarence, the swift rustle of a skirt, the clash of the gate, and then forgetting everything, he burst into the patio. Clarence was just turning from the gate with the marks of his wife's hand still red on his white cheek. He saw Captain Pinckney's eyes upon it, and the faint, half-malicious, half-hysteric smile upon his lips.
Howbeit, the deputy agreed to delay Pinckney's journey for a parting interview with his fair hostess. How far this expressed the real sentiments of Captain Pinckney was never known. Whether his political association with Mrs.
Silas was capable of anything, he would never forgive that blow and he would try to return it, of that she felt certain. He could not avenge himself on her but he could on Richard. He imagined that she cared for Richard Pinckney. Did she? The question came to her again in Miss Pinckney's voice she did not even try to answer it.

Several of the faction resigned from Congress. Hamilton published his pamphlets, "The Stand," "France," and "The Answer," and the whole country burst into a roar of vengeance, echoing Pinckney's parting shot: "Millions for defence, not a cent for tribute!" "Hail Columbia" was composed, and inflamed the popular excitement.
Silas, without a word, jumped up beside her, and the horses started. She had committed the irrevocable. When the contract is signed, when the china vase is broken, all the regret in the world will not alter the fact. It was not till they had gone ten miles on their way that the regret came, sudden and painful as the stab of a dagger. Miss Pinckney's kindly old face suddenly rose up before Phyl.
