I opened my eyes, and there was the little image, red-hot, as if just out of the furnace, dancing, and chuckling, and clapping his hands. 'That's right, Aminadab! said he; 'go on as you have begun; take care of yourself in this world, and I'll promise you you'll be taken care of in the next. Peace and poverty, or war and money.
What shall I put you down for? Fifty dollars? If we carry the election, your property will rise twenty per cent. Let me see; you are in the iron business, I think?" Aminadab thought of the little iron soldier of his dream, and excused himself. Presently a bank director came tearing into his office. "Have you voted yet, Mr. Ivison? It 's time to get your vote in.
Aminadab very probably could not have told himself; yet there he was. "Come again so soon, Aminadab?" "Ay," replied he. "'Though a man may fall, he may be raised up again. I stumbled in front of my friend, but she will not kick me; yea, she will lift me up." "Be silent," she said. "You were seen last night near the Cradle, where no one dare approach.
Aminadab, and another rich gentleman of his trade and religious persuasion, were chirping as merrily, and looked as respectably, as any noblemen in the land. "Have him in," said Mr. B., "if he's a friend of Mr. Titmarsh's; for, cuss me, I like to see a rogue: and run me through, Titmarsh, but I think you are one of the best in London.
"'And I will cause their images to cease out of Noph." "Ay, but I am 'wide," continued the cook. "Three feet and a half across the bosom," said Aminadab, who was still in his reverie, with the secret idea still exercising a power over him, even after the tankard of ale.
And Aminadab said unto them: They do converse with the angels of God. And it came to pass that the Lamanites said unto him: What shall we do, that this cloud of darkness may be removed from overshadowing us?
She could hear his voice in the distant furnace-room, giving directions to Aminadab, whose harsh, uncouth, misshapen tones were audible in response, more like the grunt or growl of a brute than human speech. After hours of absence, Aylmer reappeared, and proposed that she should now examine his cabinet of chemical products, and natural treasures of the earth.
"That would stump his Dagonship," said Aminadab, with an effort to be cheerful in spite of the foresaid idea, whatever it was. "Ay," he continued, after drinking off the tankard, and getting courage and wit at same time, "a line from the Bible is just like a rifle-shot in the hinder-end of these false gods. They can't stand it nohow."
Aminadab, blunt though he was, and fonder of pork than poetry, and of scriptural quotations which he had always at his tongue's end for conclaves of weavers than impassioned sentiments, rising at the inspiring touch of this strange world's endless and ever-occurring occasions, was impressed.
Very ingenious. It was devised as a weapon against libel suits. Suppose some local correspondent from Hohokus or Painted Post sends in a story on the Honorable Aminadab Quince that looks to be O.K., but is actually full of bad breaks. The Honorable Aminadab smells money in it and likes the smell. Starts a libel suit.
