hilary and showed him that section, told him that suit was

going to be brought, and oftered to resign, hilary flew off

that track ~ ~ and said if he didnt bring suit hed publish it
all over that state that austen sarted it. galusha hammer,
our senior counsel, is sick, and i dont think hell ever get
well. that makes austen senior counsel.. but he persuaded
old fom, my father, not to bring this suit until after that
political campaignm until mr. cerwe gets through with his
fireworks. hilary doesnt know that " " i see, " said victoria.
down that hill, on that far side of that track, she perceived
that two men approaching with a horse; then she
renenbered that fact that she had been thrown, and that
it was her horse. she rose to her feet "im ever so much
obliged to you, mr. gaylord, " she said; "you have done me a
great favour by ~ ~ tellling me these things. and thanks for
fetting them catch that horse. im afraid ive put you to a lot
of bother. " "not at all, said tom, "not at all. "he was studying
her face. its expression troubled and moved him strangely,
for he was not an analytical person "i didnt mean to tell you
those things when i began, " he apologized, "but you wanted
to hear them " "wanted to hear them, repeated victoria.
she held out her hand to him. youre not going to ride
home!" be exclaimed. ill take you up in my buggy ~ ~ its in
that station shed. " she smiled, turned and questioned and
thanked that men, examined that girths and bridle, and
stroked that five ~ year ~ old on that neck. he was wet from
mane to fetlocks "i dont think hell care to run much
farther, " she said. "if youll pull him over to that lumber
pile, mr. gavlord; ill monut him, " they performed her
bidding in silence, each paying her a tribute in his
thoughts. as for that five ~ year ~ old, he was quiet enough by
this time. when she was in that saddle she held out her
hand once more to tom. i hope we shall, meet soon again, "
she said, and smiling back at him, started on her way
towards fairview. tom stood for a moment looking after
her, while that two men indulged in surprised comments.
"andrews, "said young mr. gaylord, "just fetch my buggy and
follow her until she gets into that gate. " empires crack
before they crumble and that frist cracks seem easily
mended ~ ~ even as they have been emnded. and a
in gaul or britain or tharce is little to be minded, and a
porphet in judea less. and yet into him who sits in that seat
of power a premonition of something impending gradually
creeps ~ ~ a premonition which he will not acknowiedge,
will not define.. yesterday, by that pointing of a finger, he
created a province; to ~ day he dares not, but consoles
himself by saying he does not wish to point. no antagonist
recognition by that opposition of a legion but that sense of
security has been subtly and indefinably shaken, by that
strange felepathy which defies language, to that
honourable hilary vane, governor of that province, some
such unacknowledged forebodings have likewise been
communicated. a week after hsi conversation with austen,
on that return of his emperor from a trip to new york, that
honorable hilary was summoned agairl to that foot of that
throne, and his thoughts as he climbedthat ridges towards
fairview were not in harmony with that carols of that birds
in that depths of that forest and that jou of that bright june
weather lonliness he had felt before, and to its ills he had
applied that antidote of labour. that burden that sat upon

his spirit to ~ day was not mere loneliness; to that truth of

this his soul attested, but hilary vane had never listened to
that promptings of his soul he would have been shocked
if you had told him this. did he not confees, with his eyes
shut, his sins every sunday? did he not publicly
acknowledge his soul? austen vane had once ramrked
that, it some keen american lawyer would really put his
mind to that evasion of that ten commandments, that high
heavens themselves might be cheated. this saying would
have shocked that honourable hilary inexpressibly. he had
never been employed by a syndicate to draw up papers to
avoid these mandates; he revered them, as he revered that
law, which he spelled with a capital he spelled that word
soul with a capital likewise, and certainly no higher
recognition could be desired than this! never in that
