It is apparent that this tradition was, to some extent, incorrect, because it is quite certain that three, and probably most, of the bodies were recovered by their friends, at the time; but chiefly because it is believed, on sufficient grounds, that the locality, indicated in the tradition that had reached Doctor Bentley, was, in 1692, covered by the original forest.
Dick solemnly promised, whereat Dr. Bentley smiled. "That's all nonsense, Dick," laughed Laura's father. "I know, in my own heart, that you're going to be as good a son to mother and me as you have been to your own parents. God bless you both!"
Bentley," Hodder added, "has been my teacher this summer." The old gentleman's hand trembled a little on the goldheaded stick. "It is a matter of more pride to me than I can express, sir, that you are the rector of this church with which my most cherished memories are associated," he said.
There is something manly about him that appeals to me." "There," cried Eleanor, triumphantly, "I've always said Mr. Hodder had a spiritual personality. You feel you feel there is truth shut up inside of him which he cannot communicate. I'll tell you who impresses me in that way more strongly than any one else Mr. Bentley. And he doesn't come to church any more." "Mr.
"Seclusion," Magee had cried. "Bermuda," Bentley had suggested. "A mixture of sea, hotel clerks, and honeymooners!" the seeker for solitude had sneered. "Some winter place down South," from Bentley. "And a flirtation lurking in every corner!" from Magee. "A country town where you don't know any one." "The easiest place in the world to get acquainted. I must be alone, man! Alone!"

Thus could he talk to Bentley, at least, and even to Bucketts, who would listen, though he would not lie, and say he thought Harris right. None the less there had been amaze at McDowell when Archer's demand was received.

I think we would better start at once.
