Being a soldier's wife, however, she knew the deference due to the commanding officer, even though she did not choose to show it, and when bidden to say her say and tell what things was going on, Mistress McGann asseverated, with the asperity of a woman who has had to put her husband to bed two nights running, that the time had never been before that he was so drunk he didn't know his way home, and so got into the back of the bachelor quarters instead of his own.
And to think of his being propped up at his own gate by a lousy frog eaten half Frenchman, half savage.
Yet when investigated this proved to be the case, and the further question arose, where did McGahn get his whiskey?
A faithful, loyal, devoted old servitor was McGann, yet Webb, as we have seen, had ever to watch his whiskey carefully, lest the Irishman should see it, and seeing taste and tasting fall.
The store had orders from Mrs.
McGann, countersigned by Webb, to the effect that her husband was never to have a drop.
Flint was a teetotaler himself, and noted without a shadow of disapprobation that the decanters on the sideboard were both empty the very day he took possession.
Also that the
see that the cupboard was securely locked.
Mrs McGann was sure her liege got no liquor there nor at the store, and his confused statement that it was given him by fellas at the stables was treated with scorn.
McGann then was still under marital surveillance and official displeasure the day after Mrs.
McGann's revelations, with unexplained iniquities to answer for when his head cleared and his legs resumed their functions.
But by that time other matters were brought to light that laid still further accusation at his door.
With the consent of Dr.
Waller, Lieutenant Field had been allowed to send an attendant for his desk.
There were letters, he said, he greatly wished to see an answer, and Mrs.
Ray had been so kind as to offer to act as his amenuensis.
The attendant went with the key and came back with a scared face.
Somebody, he said, had been there before him.
They did not tell Field this at the time.
