And Turtle lived happily with his wife, and she had a babe. New it happened in after-days that Glooskap came to see his uncle, and the child cried. "Dost thou know what he says?" exclaimed the Master. "Well," replied Glooskap, "he is talking of eggs, for he says 'Hoo-wah! hoo-wah! which methinks is much the same as 'Waw-wun, waw-wun. And this in Passamaquoddy means egg."
The venerable person who went by the name of Giblets had by this time opened the carriage door, and our courier, or 'boots' he looked more like the latter functionary had lowered the steps, and in greater trepidation than I experienced when in after-days I was presented to my sovereign, I glided down, to offer myself to the greeting and inspection of the plain-spoken young lady who stood at the top of the steps to receive me.
Perhaps in after-days, when I was starving in London, I may have begged of my father without knowing it; and he may have thrown his daughter a penny to get rid of her, without knowing it either! What is there sacred in the relations between father and child, when they are such relations as these? Even the flowers of the field cannot grow without light and air to help them!
In after-days he often thought of that happy drive of the pale beautiful face, in its transparent little bonnet, turned confidingly upwards to his own, of the winning ways, the playfully imperious gestures, the sweet caressing voice of the hope thrilling to his very heart that perhaps for him might be reserved the blissful lot of thus journeying with her by his side through life.
Often, since then, in those vain longings that come to each of us, I suppose, I tried in after-days sometimes I try now, to stretch my arms out wide-backward toward the past to speak the words that would have been as easily spoken then as any other that no earthly power can ever make spoken words now, of sympathy and appreciation to Barbara.
I am arrested! This incident, unfortunately, became far too common in after-days to be at all remarkable, but the first touch of the bailiff's hand was naturally something of a shock, and Haydon filled three folio pages with angry comments on the iniquity of the laws against debtors.
He came, he was seen, and he conquered. Rarely have I seen anything to compare with the enthusiasm which fired the people of Tyneside during the two days he spent amongst them in October, 1862. I have said elsewhere that this visit was one of the turning-points in Mr. Gladstone's life. He himself practically acknowledged this to me in after-days.
The world of England discovered that the peace-party which opposed was the actual cause of the war: never was indication clearer. But my business is with Mr. Beauchamp, to know whom, and partly understand his conduct in after-days, it will be as well to take a bird'seye glance at him through the war. 'Now, said Everard, 'we shall see what staff there is in that fellow Nevil.
As brave a man as ever lived, he knew what fear was now. The father's courage failed him before the prospect of summoning a servant, and hearing, for all he knew to the contrary, that his child was dead. How long he stood there, alone and irresolute, he never remembered when he thought of it in after-days.
I looked back with horror at the vices of my youth; at the fruitless after-days when I had impiously doubted all that is most noble, all that is most consoling in human life. Consecrated by sorrow, purified by repentance, was it vain in me to hope that her spirit a nd my spirit might yet be united again? Who could tell? I rose once more.
