If he had he would go in with us and make money for himself instead of telling us how to make it." He did not know that General Keith would not have "gone in" with him in the plan he had carried through that legislature to save his life.

He had stood up for the General against Mrs.
Wickersham, who hated all Keiths on Ferdy's account.

The old General, who was as oblivious of this as a child, was always sending Mrs.
Wickersham his regards.
"Perhaps, she might like to come down and see the place ?" he suggested.
"It is not what it used to be, but we can make her comfortable." His glance as it swept about him was full of affection.
Mr.Wickersham said he feared that Mrs.Wickersham's health would not permit her to come South.
"This is the very region for her," said the General.
