My new friend was a widow whose name was Persis Addy, and she was also the daughter of Captain Prince Crowell, then the most prominent man in the Cape Cod community a bank president, a railroad director, and a citizen of wealth, as wealth was rated in those days. When I returned to the theological school in the autumn Mrs.
Addy lay in the Crowell family lot, and during my pastorate at East Dennis I preached the funeral sermon of her father, and later of her mother. Long after I had left Cape Cod I was frequently called back to say the last words over the coffins of my old friends, and the saddest of those journeys was the one I made in response to a telegram from the mother of Relief Paine.
"Well, I'll give her a chance to show it," he thought; and, leaning out a little more he said lightly, "Well, Addy, are you any the worse for your dip?" "Oh, Hil!" she exclaimed looking up, "are you there?" "Yes, and locked up safely. I say, your people are behaving very badly to me." "Oh, Hil," cried the girl with the tears in her eyes, "I am so sorry.
He just sat in the power hole singing loud corny songs about the Arkansas mountains to those atomic motors. He was a real power-deck man. But he was a unit man first! The only reason I'm here to tell you about it is because he never forgot the unit. He died saving Addy and myself." The room was still.
"I wile the hours with tale or song, Or web of fancy, fringed with careless rhyme; But how to find a fitting lay for thee, Who hast the harmonies of every time?" And Addy looked, "Thou art to me most like a royal guest, Whose travels bring him to some humble roof, Where simple rustics spread their festal fare, And, blushing, own it is not good enough.
Hilary sat watching as if in the hope that she would come back; but he knew in his heart that she would not, and so it proved at the end of quite a couple of hours. "He has told her that she is to hold no communication with such a fellow," he said to himself. "Poor little Addy! what a sweet little thing she is growing, and what an impetuous, commanding way she has!"
Captain Crowell, the father of my dead friend Mrs. Addy, and himself my best man friend, was a strong supporter of the Free Religious Group.
"And that would be an evil sign in itself," said Leam, still shuddering. And yet how safe she felt with his arms about her like this! "Poor dear Addy! why should she be an ill omen to you, you dear little fluttering, frightened dove?" "She hates me always has, so long as I can remember her," answered Leam. "And you are her friend," she added.
Addy Gravvy protested: "That's no fair, I won't go in the middle." For whoever got caught had to go in the middle until the close of the game. "She is so little," explained Willie, "that she never could have caught anybody." "Then she oughtn't to play," said Addy Gravvy.
Your young miss, and that one, had crossed one another's path in regard to young Master Springrove; and I expect that when Addy Hinton found Miss Graye wasn't caren to have en, she thought she'd be beforehand with her old enemy in marrying somebody else too. That's maids' logic all over, and maids' malice likewise.
