Sommers had seen something in a superficial way of many of these people. Thanks to the Hitchcocks' introduction, and also to the receptive attitude of a society that was still very largely fluid, he had gone hither and thither pretty widely during this past year. There were quieter, less pretentious circles than this in which the Carsons aspired to move, but he had not yet found them.
Now, all this, and a great deal more was afterwards related by Hester herself to her friends; but at the time all that was known to Sally the only witness of the exploit was that Hester Sommers had been carried off in the manner related by an apparently friendly British sailor.
Sommers then told him that he had succeeded in borrowing some money from a friend of his, which he would advance for that purpose, but that, in order to fully deceive Mr. Bollman, William should give him his note, in the presence of the attorney, for the amount. Upon this being done, the money would be forthcoming, and Mr. Bollman could depart at once. The next day Mr.
"Your grace will find the contrary, if you will be at Wolsey's tomb-house at vesper-time," replied the jester. "I will be there," replied the duke; "but if I am brought on a bootless errand, not even my royal father shall save thee from chastisement." "I will bear any chastisement your grace may choose to inflict upon me, if I prove not the truth of my assertion," replied Sommers.
What the devil of a crowd has Alec raked together? But the two men exchanged essential courtesies and entered the house together. Porter, Sommers had heard, had once been Alexander Hitchcock's partner in the lumber business, but had withdrawn from the firm years before. Brome Porter was now a banker, as much as he was any one thing.
Sommers spent his days and nights in Burnside for several weeks. When he had time to think, he wondered why the manager employed him. If the Hitchcocks had been in the city, he should have suspected that they had a hand in the matter. But he remembered having seen in a newspaper some months before that the Hitchcocks were leaving for Europe.
Then I guess Mrs. Preston gave him some, when she came in. But you can't touch me," she added impudently. "The healer said you had done a criminal act in signing that certificate. You and she better look out." Sommers stepped across the room and opened the inner door. Mrs. Ducharme gave one glance at the silent figure and shrieked: "You killed her! You killed her! Let me out!"
We will now return to the prison at Bridgeport and to the unfortunate man confined within its walls for the murder of his master. The intimacy and friendship existing between Sommers and Bucholz continued to increase as the days passed slowly on. By degrees and in fragmentary conversations Sommers had learned the story of the murder from his companion.
You will like Speed better the more you know him. He really is very philanthropic, and has Sommers on his hands just now. From what he said after you left Venice, I imagine he does not entertain the same feeling toward you as you do toward him. I would see Speed if I were you." "I will think about it," said Brenton, as they separated.
Bollman visited the accused man by appointment, and the matter was explained to him by Sommers and Bucholz. He announced his approval of the loan about to be made. The note was duly drawn, the money counted out, and Bucholz handed the amount to his counsel. As Mr. Bollman received the money, he looked up quickly and inquired, in a quiet manner: "This money is not on the list, is it?"
