Out of his very loneliness in the world for except his mother, in a far-away Devonshire village, there was no one in the outside world that cared aught for him there grew upon him that quiet, reserved temperament that led the other white men on the plantation to call him in kindly jest, "Prout, the Hermit."
Left to himself, Prout would have made a sympathetic house-master; but he was never so left, and with the devilish insight of youth, the boys knew to whom they were indebted for his zeal. "Must we go down, sir? said McTurk. "I don't want to order you to do what a right-thinking boy should do gladly. I'm sorry."
He acquired a fame enduring for weeks. Once, in the rotogravure section of the Sunday Advocate-Times, there was a photograph of Babbitt and a dozen other business men, with the caption "Leaders of Zenith Finance and Commerce Who Back Prout." He deserved his glory. He was an excellent campaigner. He had faith; he was certain that if Lincoln were alive, he would be electioneering for Mr.
'The devil take the bedlamite old woman, said the Counsellor; 'will she not let things take their course, prout de lege, but must always be putting in her oar in her own way? Then I fear from the direction they took they are going upon the Ellangowan estate. That rascal Glossin has shown us what ruffians he has at his disposal; I wish honest Liddesdale maybe guard sufficient.
If you hadn't assured me that you never interfere with another man's house, I should almost believe that it was a few casual remarks of yours that started all this nonsense." Prout had endured much, for King always took his temper to meals. "You spoke to Beetle yourself, didn't you? Something about not bathing, and being a water-funk?" the school chaplain put in.
Mox rex vel princeps, prout aetas cuique, prout nobilitas, prout decus bellorum, prout facundia est, audiuntur, auctoritate suadendi magis, quam jubendi potestate. Si displicuit sententia, fremitu aspernantur; sin placuit, frameas concutiunt. Honoratissimum assensus genus est, armis laudare. XII. Licet apud concilium accusare quoque et discrimen capitis intendere.
"Guess you wouldn't have any trouble findin' some one to come in an' do for you, if you wanted they should," said Mr. Prout. "There's my gal, now. She's only fifteen, but she's capable an' can cook pretty tolerable well. Course you know your business best, Mr. Herrick, but " "Send her over in the morning," said Wade, promptly. "Is there a mail out of here to-night?" "Five o'clock."
Long before daylight, Prout, with his face and shoulders covered with gory stains, staggered into the native village at Maunahoehoe and asked the people to lend him a horse to take him back to Kalahua. When within half a mile of Kalahua, almost fainting from loss of blood and exhaustion, he pulled up his horse at a hut on the borders of the estate and got off.
" I was forced to send them back. Their moral influence was unspeakable simply unspeakable." And bit by bit he told his tale, beginning with Beetle's usury, and ending with the house-prefects' appeal. "Beetle in the ro'le of Shylock is new to me," said King, with twitching lips. "I heard rumors of it " "Before?" said Prout. "No, after you had dealt with them; but I was careful not to inquire.
But in Atalanta and Giustino , Prout discovered quotations and adaptations several bars long from a Passion by Graun, which is known to have been composed not many years before. From this date onwards until the end of his career Handel systematically drew upon the works of other musicians.
