But here is one holy angel with its music; a ministering spirit; but is she a Lot in Sodom? Abdiel in the revolted principality? a desolate, mourning Rizpah on that rock which overlooks four millions of slaves and their tortures? In a less instructed state of mind on this subject, I should once have said, on reading this letter, This is slavery. Here is a view of life at the South.
The head policeman they called him the inspector received the charge, that of house-breaking, and entered it. Then they were taken away to the lock-up all but the faithful Abdiel, who, following, received another of the kicks which that day rained on every member of that epitome of the human family except the baby, who, small enough for a mother to drown, was too small for a policeman to kick.
"I will do whatever you please, ma'am," he answered humbly. " Come, Abdiel!" The dog came running across the road with his bone in his mouth. "You mustn't bring that inside the gate, Ab!" said Clare. The dog dropped it. "Good dog! It's a lady's garden, you know, Abdiel!" Then turning to his hostess, Clare added, "I always tell him when I'm pleased with him: don't you think it right, ma'am?"
If Abdiel understood Scotch, he would bite you," he added, as the dog, hearing his master speak angrily, came up, ears erect, and took his place at his side, ready for combat. "Ye'll hae to tak' some ither mode o' payin' the debt!" said John. "Stick spaud in yird here, ye sall not! You or I maun flit first!" With that he walked slowly away, shouldering his hoe.
"A good deal depends on the dog. When folk brings up their dogs as bad as they do their childern, I want neither about me. But your dog's a well-behaved dog. Still, he must learn not to come in sight o' the animals." "He will learn, ma'am! Abdiel, lie down, and don't come till I call you." At the word, the dog dropped, and lay.
But though Milton does not unveil the "face like lightning"; and though the angel Raphael is made to hold converse with man, and the "severe in youthful beauty" gives even the individual impress to Zephon, and Michael and Abdiel are set apart in their prowess; there is not one he names that does not breathe of Heaven, that is not encompassed with the glory of the Infinite.
"John would soon knock him on the head." "Would he, Abdiel?" said Clare. The dog looked up in his master's face with such a comical answer in his own, that the cook burst out laughing, and began to like Abdiel. "But you don't really mean to say," she persisted, "that you'd go off again on the tramp, to be as cold and hungry again to-morrow as you were yesterday and all for the sake of a dog?
Clare was waked in the morning by a sound cuff on the side of the head. He got off the bench, took up Abdiel, and coming to himself, said to the gardener who stood before him in righteous indignation, "I'm much obliged to you for my bedroom, sir. It was very cold last night." His words and respectful manner mollified the gardener a little. "You have no business here!" he returned.
Clare seemed absorbed in his game with his four-footed, one-tailed friends, but he was wide awake: he had Abdiel to deliver, and kept, therefore, all the time, at least half an eye on Glum Gunn. He saw Marway come up to him, and saw them retire together: it was the very moment to leave the cage with Abdiel!
They had to sleep out of doors nevertheless; for by this time Clare knew that a boy, especially a boy in rags, must mind whom he asks to change a sovereign. In the lee of a hay-mow, on a little loose hay, they slept, Abdiel in Clare's bosom, and slept well. There was not much temptation to lie long after waking, and the companions were early on their way.
