Aiken, one of the lawyers, "read him into fame;" he himself was soon welcome in many houses of a better sort, where his admirable talk, and his manners, which he had direct from his Maker, except for a brush he gave them at a country dancing school, completed what his poems had begun.
Kate Chase Sprague, was in New York when the Democratic Convention was held there, and her parlor was the head-quarters of her father's friends. Mr. Frederick Aiken, a lawyer-journalist, who had appeared at the trial of the conspirators as the defender of Mrs. Surratt, was her master of ceremonies, and introduced the delegates from the rural districts to Mrs.
We dropped down through the belt of clouds that had begun to form, and out into the grassy region of the singing skylarks, past herds of grazing cattle, and at noon were again at Idlewild, resting our weary limbs and comforting the inner man. In the afternoon Mr. Aiken drove us back to his home farm, where we again passed a very pleasant night.
The sitting-room expresses Miss Aiken; but not so well, somehow, as the immaculate bedroom beyond, into which, upon one occasion, I was permitted to steal a modest glimpse. In this wonderful bedroom there is a secret and sacred drawer into which, once in her life, Harriet had a glimpse.
No one will disturb me before I leave, I think. You had better weigh at once, and never mind your running lights till it is time for them." "So you're going to do it," said Mr. Aiken. "I might have known you wouldn't listen to reason." "You should have sailed with me long enough," said my father, "to know I never do." "And you not even dressed for it," added Mr. Aiken.

From force of habit I had become accustomed to stepping forward towards the baggage car, whenever I alighted at a depot, to see that my baggage was taken off; and this time not being an exception, I remained standing by till I saw my trunk taken off and set to one side, when I proceeded to the hotel.
