He deserved that the Gods should recline on those gold-edged cushions above, and lean over to observe him. Nevertheless, the ladies were beginning to ask when Nick Frim would be out. The small boys alone preserved their enthusiasm for Nick. As usual, the men took a middle position.

Samuel Adams arose, and after saying that he was no bigot, and could hear a prayer from any gentleman of piety and virtue who was a friend to his country, moved that Rev. Mr. Duché an Episcopal clergyman, who, he said, he understood deserved that character be invited to read prayers before Congress the next morning. The motion was passed; and the next morning Mr.

'Then you have made up your mind? 'Yes. I shall speak to Mr. Dusautoy at once. 'And, she said, feeling for his sensitive shyness, 'no one else need know it at least 'I should not wish to conceal it from the children, he answered, with his scrupulous candour. He was supine when thought more ill of than he deserved, but he always defended himself from undeserved credit.
