"A few may be hindered, and one or two fetch through a leetle late, but there'll be an 'arnest movement of teeth when the hour for eatin' comes and the plates be well filled." Dinner was called prompt to the hour, and again was the old man's prediction realized. The table lacked not guests, for nearly every chair was occupied.
But for your note, which I enclose, I should have made this apology the moment I had an opportunity. But its peculiar tenor, I then felt, precluded me from doing so. I confess that I erred in letting my feelings blind my cooler judgment. "Your old friend, MARSTON. "To Mr. Herbert Arnest." Enclosing the note alluded to in this letter, Marston sealed, and, ringing for an attendant, despatched it.
But Arnest shook his head, remarking, as he so "I would rather let things remain as they are. At least, I cannot stoop to any humiliating overtures for a reconciliation. When Marston outraged my feelings so wantonly, I wrote him a pretty warm expression of my sentiments in regard to his conduct. This gave him mortal offence.
About two hours after dinner, I shall want to have a word with you in private, and will thank you just to step across to the house, where you will be certain to find me. Baiting Joe seems to have hooked something there, in 'arnest." "That has he! I'll answer for it that he has a sheepshead at the end of his line that will weigh eight or ten pounds."
So soon as I felt myself sufficiently strong for the journey, I left Boonesborough for Bryan's Station, and here I am, and thus my tale." "And a mighty tough time you've had on't Mr. Reynolds, for sartin, and no mistake," rejoined Mrs. Younker, with a sigh, wiping her eyes. "Ah! me poor Ben! poor Ben! I'm a widder now in arnest. Well, the Lord's will be done.
This was said in a resolute tone, and the fellow quailed before it, his reply being, "Now stranger, don't get angry, I saw you the other day at B 's house, and could not tell what to make of it, but I hope you don't think that I was in arnest." I replied to this, that I knew best what business I had at B 's house, and that his plan was to mind his own business.
I believe, Jack, quite believe that thou be'st in arnest on it, and I know well that when thou dost begin thou'lt stick to 't. But it were better to wait till thou know'st what 'tis thou art undertaking." Jack felt that there was a good deal in what his mother said. "Very well, mother. 'Twant make no differ to me, but oi'll do as th' asks me."
Wellford was present at this meeting, and marked the fact that the intercourse between Arnest and Marston was official only that they did not unbend to each other in the least. He was grieved to see it, for he knew the good qualities of both, and he had a high respect for them. "This must not be," said he to himself, as he walked thoughtfully homeward.
Possibly, when they see us determined, they may lower their demands a little." A grave parting wave of the hand was given by Muss, who had conducted himself with great dignity in the interview, and the three Hurons walked away in a body. "Best go," said Susquesus, significantly. "Maybe want rifle. Hurons in 'arnest." On this hint, we returned to our friends, and resumed our arms.
The missionary smiled, in spite of himself, as he explained that the earnestness he referred to was connected rather with the soul and the spiritual world than with this sublunary sphere. "Well, he is arnest about that too," returned the hunter.
