The prediction has been fulfilled, though the latter portion of it required an extension of time, of a year or two to make the fulfilment literal. In 1806, Nathan Perry and family and Judge Walworth removed to Cleveland the latter from Painesville. In the same year the first militia training occurred. The place of rendezvous was Doane's corner, and the muster amounted to about fifty men.
So that was where the Hammonds lived. And where the girl lived who was certain he was a "conceited snippet." Whatever he might be in reality he hoped it was not that. "Snippet" was not in his dictionary, but he didn't like the sound of it. "Who owns the packet?" he asked, to make conversation. "Zach Foster. Married Freewill Doane's daughter over to Harniss. She's dead now."
To one who should compare the outward aspects of the two establishments, Minot & Doane's offered a ludicrous contrast to the imposing white buildings of Fort Moultrie, arranged military-wise on the grassy promontory; nevertheless, as is not infrequently the case elsewhere, the humbler store did the larger trade.
"But he's got to commit himself." In due course Strange returned. He offered Ambrose a note, still with his deprecating air. It was in Colina's writing. Ambrose read: "John Gaviller begs to inform Mr. Ambrose Doane that the only proposal he is willing to discuss will be the sale to him of all the grain in Mr. Doane's possession at one dollar and a half per bushel.
Hungerford did not seem to hear him. He was regarding Miss Dott with anxious concern. "Really, Gertrude," he said, "I shouldn't stand by that open door, if I were you. You have a slight cold and for all our sakes you must be careful. Step inside, I beg of you." His begging was so tender, so solicitous, so intimate. John Doane's fists clenched. "Hi!" It was the cabman calling from the street.
"That's no way to speak of a great man! Doane's always been a good friend of mine fact I helped him in college I started him out and you might say inspired him.
Now he sees it." "You were pulling But you're Doane's roommate." "Yes, it's tough. But Baliol first, you know." Deacon stared at the man. He wanted to say something but couldn't. The captain smiled. "Look here, Deacon; let's walk over toward the railroad a bit. I want to talk to you."
And so the Ship of Fools sailed on, all aft fooling and befouling, from the guileless-eyed, gentle-souled Finnish mate, who, with the scent of treasure pungent in his nostrils, with a duplicate key stole the ship's daily position from Captain Doane's locked desk, to Ah Moy, the cook, who kept Kwaque at a distance and never whispered warning to the others of the risk they ran from continual contact with the carrier of the terrible disease.
On the sleeping-porch he puzzled, "She doesn't understand me. Hardly understand myself. Why can't I take things easy, way I used to? "Wish I could go out to Senny Doane's house and talk things over with him. No! Suppose Verg Gunch saw me going in there! "Wish I knew some really smart woman, and nice, that would see what I'm trying to get at, and let me talk to her and I wonder if Myra's right?
Shrubs and plants were bursting into bloom. As we moved on we saw several wild pigeons in graceful flight among the trees. After traveling the backbone of the mountain for some distance we came to a dimly marked trail, leading to the left. The "Major Domo" of our party said that this road led to Doane's Valley, and that we must go down it.
