I remember we talked about the topics that used to be popular at Biggleswick the big political things that begin with capital letters. He took Amos's view of the soundness of the British working-man, but he said something which made me think. He was convinced that there was a tremendous lot of German spy work about, and that most of the practitioners were innocent.
However, as the farm-house is now arranged as two dwellings, with the connecting door opening in the back hall and usually kept locked on Amos's side, she cannot possibly feel that she is putting herself in The Man's way! Oaklands, August 18.
Contrary to Amos's anticipations, they met no person during the walk from Cross Street to Hanover, near the New Brick Church, where was situated Master Theophilus Lillie's shop.
"Hi Martin ought to be tied to a tree and switched until he can't see! He's a regular babbling butt-in." "What good did it do him to meddle in that fashion?" burst from Reade. "The mean, worthless fellow! And we had plenty of reason to feel grateful to Colonel Garwood, Amos's father, after the handsome uniforms that were given us."
So Amos's great purpose, his life-work to which he had dedicated himself, his means, his best energies, seemed hopelessly blocked. The great hindrance was, alas! in that father whose heart must be touched and subdued before any effectual and really onward steps could be taken. But this barrier seemed to become daily more formidable. "What am I to do, Aunt Kate?"
Partly touched at Amos's generosity, but more vexed at his present purpose respecting future loans, Walter was not disposed to look with a very favourable eye on his brother's money arrangements. What could he be wanting with so much? What could he be doing with it? There was nothing to show for it.
"All right, but I fear she knows it," replied the boy. It was in the early evening when the canoe, closely followed by Amos's rowboat, left Wellfleet harbor behind them and headed for Brewster. The squaw had decided that it would be easier to go on than to wait for another day, and Anne and Amos were glad to go on as soon as possible.
"A man was made to be master," the youth went on, evidently quoting some recent reading. "Woman is the weaker vessel." "Wait till you try to break one," came Uncle Amos's wise comment. "I," said Lyman proudly, "I could be master of any woman I marry! And I bet, I dare to bet my pop's farm, that any girl I set out to get I can get, too. I'd just carry her off or something.
It seems as if everybody believed I was as much of a murderer as the 'bloody backs, and Master Piemont told me this afternoon never to show my face near his shop again that I wasn't wholesome even for Britishers to look at." "I don't think, Hardy," and now Amos's tone was less sharp than before, "that you should expect either the people or the soldiers would be very friendly toward you."
Amanda's face had brightened at Amos's assertion that he knew he could find Anne, and now she asked eagerly: "What makes you think you could find her, Amos?" "You won't tell?" and Amos looked at his sister sharply. "I promise, hope to die, I won't," answered Amanda. "Well, I'll tell you. I think she started for Truro, and will go by the meadows and over the hill instead of the regular path.
