TALKING-TALBOT-Chapter-04

by webnovelverse — One day not long before they expected to reach Havre, Talbot was taking his customary look at the horses when Harry Furness came to him and said: "May I speak with you, Mr. Talbot?" "Certainly." "I want to explain why I went out in the boat with you." "The truth, Harry ?" Harry flushed. "Yes, sir. The fact that I didn't try to deceive you when you asked me ought to show that I'm not a liar." "I don't think you're a liar; but on the other hand it would have been hard, on the spur of the…

TALKING-TALBOT-Chapter-05

by webnovelverse — Talbot walked slowly away from the house. He didn't doubt that he had been wise to refuse to be drawn into the scheme, whatever it was. It might be that the plotters would have been able to help him; they certainly had hindered him, but his judgment told him that he had acted wisely. The question now was, whether to go on without further thought of them, or to try to figure out first what the extent of their power was, and so be in a position to elude it. There was young Hopkins at the embassy ;…

TALKING-TALBOT-Chapter-02

by webnovelverse — The trainload of horses had been delivered and paid for, and Chester Talbot was preparing to return to his ranch, anxious to be on his way. He had remained in Hoboken all the time; hadn't crossed the river to the big city. If there was any bitterness in his feeling for his old home, it didn't show in his conduct. He had stood on the end of the wharf, while the horses were being loaded on the steamer, studying the wonderful sky line across the river with interest and admiration. He had not wavered for…

TALKING-TALBOT-Chapter-01

by webnovelverse — Oh, how cruel! Make him stop! Somebody make him stop!" A lot of several hundred horses was being loaded on a train at a siding in Texas, destined for the British troops in France. It was a scene of excitement, noise, and bustle; frightened horses plunging, biting, kicking, squealing; men shouting and swearing. A party of men and women, betrayed by their dress as strangers, were sitting their horses, grouped together, watching the proceedings with a lively interest. The horses were all broken, but…
