Dad
says
that
the
wife
of
the
first
Chauffeur
was
a
lady
--
"
"
What
's
a
lady
?
"
Hoo-Hoo
demanded
.
"
A
lady
's
a
Chauffeur
squaw
,
"
was
the
quick
reply
of
Hare-Lip
.
"
The
first
Chauffeur
was
Bill
,
a
common
fellow
,
as
I
said
before
,
"
the
old
man
expounded
;
"
but
his
wife
was
a
lady
,
a
great
lady
.
Before
the
Scarlet
Death
she
was
the
wife
of
Van
Worden
.
He
was
President
of
the
Board
of
Industrial
Magnates
,
and
was
one
of
the
dozen
men
who
ruled
America
.
He
was
worth
one
billion
,
eight
hundred
millions
of
dollars
--
coins
like
you
have
there
in
your
pouch
,
Edwin
.
And
then
came
the
Scarlet
Death
,
and
his
wife
became
the
wife
of
Bill
,
the
first
Chauffeur
.
He
used
to
beat
her
,
too
.
I
have
seen
it
myself
.
"
Hoo-Hoo
,
lying
on
his
stomach
and
idly
digging
his
toes
in
the
sand
,
cried
out
and
investigated
,
first
,
his
toe-nail
,
and
next
,
the
small
hole
he
had
dug
.
The
other
two
boys
joined
him
,
excavating
the
sand
rapidly
with
their
hands
till
there
lay
three
skeletons
exposed
.
Two
were
of
adults
,
the
third
being
that
of
a
part-grown
child
.
The
old
man
hudged
along
on
the
ground
and
peered
at
the
find
.
"
Plague
victims
,
"
he
announced
.
"
That
's
the
way
they
died
everywhere
in
the
last
days
.
This
must
have
been
a
family
,
running
away
from
the
contagion
and
perishing
here
on
the
Cliff
House
beach
.
They
--
what
are
you
doing
,
Edwin
?
"
This
question
was
asked
in
sudden
dismay
,
as
Edwin
,
using
the
back
of
his
hunting
knife
,
began
to
knock
out
the
teeth
from
the
jaws
of
one
of
the
skulls
.
"
Going
to
string
'em
,
"
was
the
response
.
The
three
boys
were
now
hard
at
it
;
and
quite
a
knocking
and
hammering
arose
,
in
which
Granser
babbled
on
unnoticed
.
