The lamentations of Sancho and the niece and housekeeper are omitted here, as well as the new epitaphs upon his tomb; Samson Carrasco, however, put the following lines: A doughty gentleman lies here; A stranger all his life to fear; Nor in his death could Death prevail, In that last hour, to make him quail.
Face your trials boldly, and the Spirit of the Lord will come mightily upon you as it did upon Samson, and you will conquer. And then, ah, it is then that the sweetness will come: after you have mastered the trial, in the days that follow, sweetness will come, and you will bless God that he ever permitted you to be so severely tried. Conflict must always precede victory.
So, when Samson's turn came, he, too, had to bow first to Yasmini, because as a gentleman he could hardly do less; and her wonderful eyes laughed into his angry ones as she bowed to him in return, with such good humor and elation that he could not help but smile back; he could forgive a lovely woman almost anything, could Samson.
Lescott opened her house on Long Island early, and the life there was full of the sort of gaiety that comes to pleasant places when young men in flannels and girls in soft summery gowns and tanned cheeks are playing wholesomely, and singing tunefully, and making love not too seriously. Samson, tremendously busy these days in a new studio of his own, had run over for a week.
"Rope, wittles, blankets, and anything they like," said Samson, as he parted from his master; and after hesitating a little about asking leave to quit the camp, he came to the conclusion that it would be wiser to get permission from his officer to fish, and then, after selecting a spot where the trees overhung the water, steal off through the wood.
"Why, the little man was frightened at first and no wonder, for Lugur is big as Saul and as strong as Samson but he kept his head and told Lugur he would 'take no orders from him. Furthermore, he said he would show his 'admiration of Miss Lugur's beauty, whenever he felt disposed to do so. It was the noon hour and a crowd was in the street, and they gathered round for our lads smell a fight and they cheered the little lord for his plucky words, and he rode away while they were cheering and left Lugur standing so black and surly that no one cared to pass an opinion he could hear.
Glen gave a violent start at this accusation, and looked keenly at Curly. Her hands trembled, and it seemed to her as if her heart had stopped beating. "Who was his partner?" she at length found voice to ask. "Frontier Samson, of course. He was a friend of ours, and we were about to avenge his death, when you interfered." "But how did you learn that Frontier Samson is dead?" Glen inquired.
Samson and Harry had finished their work in New Salem. "Wait till to-morrow and maybe I'll go with ye," said Samson. "I'm anxious to see the country clear up to the lake and take a look at that little mushroom city of Chicago." "And buy a few corner lots?" Abe Lincoln asked, with a smile. "No; I'll wait till next year. They'll be cheaper then. I believe in Chicago.
"Oh no, come up to the house and meet our sixteen-to-one congressman, Quicksilver Sam." "No I'll go," chose Steering. "Say, can't I get through from the garden here, and go down the river road?" "Yes, you can. Samson shall bring your horse around, if you like. There's a bridle-path down to the river; it's Piney's way."
Chloe and Samson, cook and table-waiter, served them with beefsteak hot from the gridiron, swimming in butter; potatoes roasted in the ashes; shortcake steaming hot from the Dutch oven. "Shall I brew Bohea, Hyson, or Hyperion tea," the landlady asked, beginning with Miss Newville and glancing at each in turn.
