At a time when every one else was at supper Fred Ripley and Bert Dodge stole back to the scene of the bonfire. After glancing cautiously about, they felt sure that no one was observing them. Then they stole close to the pile of combustibles. For a few moments they worked there, removing lids from tin cans and planting them safely out of sight.
Dan Dalzell ran to unbar the door, after accomplishing which he turned to view what might follow. "Are you going to tell us, Hen, what Ripley and his crew are plotting against us?" Dick insisted once more. "They were going to come down here to-night," confessed Hen. "What were they going to do here?" "Scare you fellers." "How?"
Omas had fought hard in the battle of July 3rd, 1778, and his friendship for the Ripleys drew him away before the dreadful doings were half completed. He yearned to go back and give rein to his ferocity. Mrs. Ripley tried to restrain him, but in vain. Such were her views; but she was in error. She did not read the heart of the terrible warrior aright.
The words, pronounced slowly and distinctly, rasped hard. In spite of herself, Chloe shuddered. Corporal Ripley shifted uneasily. "We'd better be going, MacNair," he said. "There's something queer about this whole business something I don't quite understand. It's up to me to take you up the river; but, believe me, I'm coming back! I'll get at the bottom of this thing if it takes me five years.
"But Ripley wants something easy, like a freshman, so he can have me!" "And me," cried Tom Reade, also leaping forward. "He can have one with me, too," offered Harry Hazelton. "Same here," added Greg Holmes and Dave Darrin. All five of the speakers were freshmen, and close chums of Dick Prescott's. "Say, what do you think I want -to fight a whole pack?" demanded Ripley, hoarsely.
Three persons he knew at Brook Farm gave him hints, traits of character, and points of departure for the activity of his imagination. The stately elements in Zenobia resembled those of Mrs. George Ripley, her luxurious tastes were like those of Mrs. Almira Barlow, while her genius and brilliancy had a few similarities to Margaret Fuller.
The general put out his hand in a cordial manner, and with many compliments congratulated him on his success. The admiral having listened to an account of the action, dragged off the general to see some improvements on the farm; the Indies of the family left the room, and Pearce Ripley heard from Alice's own lips that her father fully sanctioned their union.
Curtis returned to the same subject in 1874, in discussing Frothingham's biography of George Ripley. Some of the errors into which writers about Brook Farm had fallen he undertook to correct, to point out the real character of the association, and its effort at the improvement of society.
Ripley nor his daughter, whose horse nearly ran away when she came to see you, could tell what all the queer doings meant at Great Hedge, could they?" asked Daddy Bunker. "No. They said they never heard any queer noises when they lived at the place before they sold it to me," answered Grandpa Ford. "But your mother and I have heard many strange noises, and we can't account for them.
This they knew from personal observation at Thanksgiving Day and other family reunions; but owing to the fact that Mabel Ripley had been quarantined by scarlet fever during the summer of her sixteenth year, and in Europe the following summer, they were conscious, prior to her arrival at The Beaches, that they were very much in the dark as to her characteristics.
