"He crashed into a tree on the big Slide," said Ted Norris. "His body seems warm but we're afraid that well, just look at his neck; it moves so queerly. Doctor Emmons ought to be here any minute. Bert Williams went down ahead to get him." Within the space of a second, it seemed, Wolcott Norris had taken charge of the situation.
He replied, however, that he would find something before long. "You stay with my foreman tonight," the captain said briskly. "Emmons!" to some one inside. "This lad will eat and sleep with you. I want you to take good care of him." Emmons, without appearing, grunted a distant assent. Ralph ventured a protest. "I can find a lodging, captain," he began. "Hut tut!
Drunk or sober, however, he never altogether forgot the proprieties of his profession; he was always grave, decorous, and gentlemanly; he held fast the form of sound words, and the weakness of the flesh abated nothing of the rigor of his stringent theology. He had been a favorite pupil of the learned and astute Emmons, and was to the last a sturdy defender of the peculiar dogmas of his school.
Emmons was a squat, thick set personage, with most of his face hidden behind a tremendous beard. He cast a careless glance at the boy, then shutting a ledger said: "Let's go to supper." He seized an old palmetto hat, and leaving the stables, dived down a side street, and into a cheap restaurant near by. Ralph followed.
They had a late dinner, then made their way to the railroad depot, where Emmons bought and gave to Ralph his ticket for Savannah by the train which was to leave in an hour. "I'll be goin' back to see about the money for them mules," said Emmons at length. "Well, good by. Swing tight to your cash, and write to us when ye get to Savanny."
"Need any money, for clothes, and so on?" "I have enough to do me," said Ralph. "You have done enough already, and I " "Never mind that. Emmons will settle board bills, and get your ticket in Augusta. Good by. Let me hear a good account of you when Gary writes." With a final nod and smile that was almost fatherly, the captain disappeared. Emmons had already mounted.
The chief opponents were the German Russians in Emmons and surrounding counties and a handful of anti-suffragists who came from outside the State. The same Legislature that sent this bill to the electors also submitted a woman suffrage amendment to the State constitution, which would be more secure than a law.
There was a general exclamation of surprise. I stole a glance at Miss Emmons. She looked amazed, and I thought that she turned pale; but she was always pale. "Yes," Addison continued, "'twas great fun. Wilma," he cried familiarly, "did you know that you walk in your sleep?" Miss Emmons uttered some sort of protest. "Well, but you do!" Addison exclaimed. "Of course you don't remember it.
There was no one in it at the time but Huddy himself, and a servant girl, some twenty years old, named Lucretia Emmons." "She wouldn't be of much use for fighting men," remarked Walter, with a slight sniff of contempt. "Perhaps Captain Huddy may have thought differently," replied his mother, with a slightly amused smile.
You can't eat an egg without salt. I must say I don't get Claire lately. I'd like to have Charlie Emmons see her he's fixed up a lot of people shot to pieces in the war. Claire needs something to tone her nerves up. You think it would irritate her? DICK: She'd probably get no little entertainment out of it. HARRY: Yes, dog-gone her, she would.
