"I see," said the girl shortly. And Mrs. Baxter applied herself again to her sewing. It was indeed a rather trying time for the old lady. She was a tranquil and serene soul; and it seemed as if she were doomed to live over a perpetual volcano. It was as pathetic as an amiable cat trying to go to sleep on a rifle range; she was developing the jumps.
Honestly, if I had my way, I'd see that both she and that little Freddie Banks got a first-class whipping!" "Don't you think, Willie," said Mrs. Baxter "don't you think that, considering the rather noncommittal method of Freddie's courtship, you are suggesting extreme measures?" "Well, SHE certainly ought to be punished!" he insisted, and then, with a reversal to agony, he shuddered.
I felt rather meanly about keeping it and hunted up his widow to return it to her, but she said I could have it for a consideration. "This gold medal was given, as you see, to 'Hiram J. Stillman, of the sloop Annie Barker, for saving the crew of the steamship Olivia, June 18, 1888, by the President of the United States and both houses of Congress. I found it on Baxter Street in a pawnshop.
"He has given us the slip nicely." The hunt continued until nightfall, and was kept up all of the next day. But it proved of no avail. Dan Baxter had left the vicinity of the lake entirely, and the Rover boys were destined not to see him again for many days to come. The arrest of Josiah Crabtree had occurred on Friday. On Monday came a letter from Mr.
"The singing is in the heart of the Merriweather Girls who have saved the Manor from being sold and have also saved the reputation of their good friend," suggested Colonel Baxter. "It's good to be alive!" cried Phil. Then the Colonel hesitated a moment. "You know I am going to reward the Merriweather girls for finding the queen's fan." "Hooray!" shouted Bet. "What's the reward?"
"And after that?" "After they have returned to the East we will set you free, providing you swear to follow them and all of you swear to keep out of Colorado in the future." "And if I refuse?" "If you refuse your life shall pay the forfeit," answered Arnold Baxter. "Come now, which do you choose?" For the minute after Arnold Baxter spoke Tom had nothing to say.
That holy man, Richard Baxter, says in his Preface to Alleine's "Alarm:" "I have done, when I have sought to remove a little scandal, which I foresaw, that I should myself write the Preface to his Life where himself and two of his friends make such a mention of my name, which I cannot own; which will seem a praising him for praising me. I confess it looketh ill-favoredly in me.
George's, Hanover Square, Romaine was appreciated. Both in his character and in his writings Romaine approached more nearly than any of the so-called Puritans of his day to the typical Puritan of the seventeenth century. He was like one born out of due time. One can fancy him more at home with Flavel, Howe, and Baxter than with Whitefield, Berridge, and Grimshaw.
What if she got up and went silently, swiftly out? Burns was not in sight, the great hall was empty. She had really nothing to say to Mrs. Baxter, and she could assume that she had misunderstood his message if the butler followed her Mrs. Baxter, a little figure in rustling silk, came quickly down the stairway. Susan met her in the doorway of the reception room, with a smile.
Another book I bought, being a collection of many expressions of the great Presbyterian Preachers upon publique occasions, in the late times, against the King and his party, as some of Mr. Marshall, Case, Calamy, Baxter, &c., which is good reading now, to see what they then did teach, and the people believe, and what they would seem to believe now.
