By what miracle, even as anatomical specimens, they had been preserved during their long journey was a mystery to the camp. In some respects they had superior memories and reminiscences. The old man Abner Trix had shouldered a musket in the war of 1812; his wife, Abigail, had seen Lady Washington. She could sing hymns; he knew every text between "the leds" of a Bible.
God is enough; whatever else may go. The Lord his God was the sufficient portion for this man when he stood a homeless pauper. He had lost everything that his heart clung to; wives, children; Abigail and Abinoam were captives in the arms of some Amalekites; his house was left to him desolate; his heart was bleeding.
Do, my Lady, write: I know your style is so elegant that I, for my part, have many a time burst into tears in reading your charming letters, and I have no doubt Mr. Barry will sacrifice anything rather than hurt your feelings. And, of course, the abigail swore to the fact. 'Do you think so, Bridget? said her Ladyship.
By this time he received from the old deaf abigail a flaming roll of brown paper, and, touching his hat to me, he withdrew, lighting his pipe and sending up little white puffs, like the salute of a departing ship. So he did not care to hear how his daughter was, and had only come here to light his pipe! Just then the Doctor emerged.
"But, Aunt Abby, I do not know that she was. I only heard she was," defended Lois. "Who told you?" "Mr. Wickersham." "Well, he knows," said Miss Abigail, with decision. "Though I think he had very little to do to discuss such matters with you." "But, Aunt Abby, I think you had better have let him come. We could have shown him our disapproval in our manner.
The family consisted of my grandfather; his sister, Miss Abigail Nutter; and Kitty Collins, the maid-of-all-work. Grandfather Nutter was a hale, cheery old gentleman, as straight and as bald as an arrow. He had been a sailor in early life; that is to say, at the age of ten years he fled from the multiplication-table, and ran away to sea. A single voyage satisfied him.
"And I am very sorry for you, Miss Abigail, if you had to learn such ugly verses. If you had had a mamma like mine you would have had a better time, I think." Miss Abigail looked severely over her brass-bowed spectacles at Ruby, almost too shocked to speak for a moment. "I am sure, I don't know what your mother would say, Ruby Harper, if she heard you talking that way.
"I would say to her this way " and Ruby held her head very high, and tried to look exceedingly dignified "I should say, 'Miss Abigail, if you will please tend to making Ruby's dresses, I will tend to her behavior." Ruthy looked rather shocked. "I am afraid that would make Miss Abigail feel dreadfully bad, to have your auntie say such a thing," she said.
It was nothing to her that Abigail did not wish to marry anyone, or that the man of Mrs. Prim's choice, had he been the sole surviving male in the Universe, would have still been as far from Abigail's choice as though he had been an inhabitant of one of Orion's most distant planets.
My youngest son wanting to go and stroke it; "No, my pretty boy, said the good Bramin; if you have any value for yourself, you will always keep out of the reach of such creatures as these, and of all such who resemble the young lady by whose soul this serpent is animated. I say young lady, because the serpent before you is indeed animated by the soul of the late Miss Abigail Eviltongue.
