Chapter V
The spring deepened into summer, and July opened. On the 10th, the sojourners at the Warm Springs, the beautiful pools that well up in the valley of the French Broad River, were assembled on the veranda of the rambling wooden hotel, after their six o'clock supper, when they saw two carriages approaching. "Phew! who can they be?" "What horses!" The horses were indeed remarkably handsome--two bays and a lighter-limbed pair of sorrels; in addition there was a mounted groom.
