"They're at it up here, too! That explains it all. There's a missionary meeting at the church, and the girls wa'n't allowed to come so they held one of their own, and I bate ye it's the liveliest of the two." Abijah Flagg's shrewd Yankee guesses were not far from the truth, though he was not in possession of all the facts.

The district inhabited by the Jews is called Pera. From Constantinople it is two days' voyage to Rhaedestus , with a community of Israelites of about 400, at their head being R. Moses, R. Abijah, and R. Jacob. And from here it is two days to Kales. Here there are about fifty Jews, at their head being R. Jacob and R. Judah.
"I have brought the box, mistress," Abijah said as she entered Mrs. Mulready's room; "but I don't think as you will want to pack today, for I hear as Mr. Ned ain't a-going to the mill.

"I'll say you would!" cried Sally in a tone of conviction that made him regret that no policeman's head was in reach that he might demonstrate his valor on the spot. Sally and Abijah were eager to leave Bennington as soon as possible.

"Well, gentlemen," said Paige, "as a matter of law, Mr. Keith would seem to be right," and at the word Solomon's spirits sank to new depths. "Didn't I tell ye?" said Abijah, triumphantly. Had the state's attorney said that he was wrong, the old man would have called him a popinjay to his face.
