It was not that Uncle Abimelech was miserly or that he grudged us assistance. Not at all. He was ready to deal generously by us, but it must be in his own way. His way was this. Murray and I were to stay on the farm, and when Murray was twenty-one Uncle Abimelech said he would deed the farm to him make him a present of it out and out. "It's a good farm, Murray," he said.
They come to the foot of the temple of Berith, and Abimelech takes his limb of a tree and throws it down; and the first platoon of soldiers come up and they throw down their branches; and the second platoon, and the third, until all around about the temple of Berith there is a pile of tree-branches.
It all belonged to Uncle Abimelech. Father and Murray and I had always lived here together. Father's health broke down during his college course. That was one reason why Uncle Abimelech was set against Murray going to college, although Murray is as chubby and sturdy a fellow as you could wish to see. Anybody with Foster in him would be that. To go back to Father.
All these years hath Sarah been barren, as the wife of Abimelech was. Now Abraham prayed to Thee, and the wife of Abimelech hath been granted a child. It is just and fair that Sarah should be remembered and granted a child." These words of the angels, spoken on the New Year's Day, when the fortunes of men are determined in heaven for the whole year, bore a result.
Yet David sat with the king at meat, married his daughter, and lived on terms of the closest intimacy with the heir apparent of the throne. Abimelech, who was first elected king of Shechem, and afterwards reigned over all Israel, was the son of a MAID-SERVANT. His mother's family seems to have been of much note in the city of Shechem, where her brothers manifestly held great sway.
I was recapitulating the seeming inspirations of my good angel, and have conjured up my chief tormentor! This delay! Where does it originate? With whom? With ! I must fly! This of all motives is the most irrefragable! I must fly! But when, or how, or where, what I must undertake, whither go, or what become, is yet all vague and incoherent conjucture. Sir Arthur St. Ives to Abimelech Henley
A pile of copybooks, the work of the Presidio school, lay on the table. As he turned over the leaves with a paternal interest, and surveyed the fair round Scripture text the first pious pothooks of the pupils of San Carlos an audible commentary fell from his lips: "'Abimelech took her from Abraham' ah, little one, excellent!
"But they've gone!" he says. "See here! How you going to catch 'em? How you going to set 'em to hotel keeping when they elope off your hands? Where've they gone? That's the point. Where've they gone?" "Up," said Uncle Abimelech. "Eh!" "Connubilated," said Uncle Abimelech, pointing. "Gone up." "Prayed over fifteen minutes," said Stevey Todd, "which I wouldn't so state without watching the clock."
A letter, not of Clifton's writing, but of his invention and sending! Finding that Frank was likely to prevail on his father to raise the money for Sir Arthur, and obviate all further impediments to our marriage, Clifton, fearful that it should take place, wrote anonymously to Abimelech, to inform him I was in love with Frank, and to encourage him to persist.
