"It would be a service to the Endicott family," Arthur said earnestly, "for I can swear to you that the truth will come out, the scandal which Horace Endicott fled to avoid and conceal forever."

One incident, however, which was connected with his life, must be related, because it will give the reader an idea of the opinions and feelings of the first settlers of New England. It was as follows: While Roger Williams sat in Grandfather’s chair, at his humble residence in Salem, John Endicott would often come to visit him.
She proved to her own satisfaction that these things could not be done. But there is a devil of perversity in her. She is like a boa constrictor ... I think that's the snake which cannot let go its prey once it has seized it. She can't let go. In desperation she is risking her own safety and happiness to make public her belief that I am Horace Endicott.
But, cheer up, the worst is yet to come, and if you will go down to the creek and wash your hands, you can come back and help me with the grub.

"Had I the power I'd punish you for saying it," answered the swain; "but, as I have not, I am compelled to ask that the girl go unharmed."

The girls were interested in some fancy chickens and pigeons Belle owned, and the boys grew enthusiastic over the horses.
