She had always known that Asaph's head was his main dependence, but she was just beginning to discover that he liked to use his head so that other people's hands should work for him. "There ain't nobody comin' to see your sister, is there?" asked Thomas, suddenly. "Not a livin' soul," said Asaph, "except women, married folk, and children.
And now, with an anxiety which made her chin tremble, she sat and hoped that Asaph would get up and go away.
It was under the influence of this belief that an attempt was made by Professor Asaph Hall at Washington to make a determined search, and see if Mars might not be attended by satellites large enough to be discoverable. The circumstances under which this memorable inquiry was undertaken were eminently favourable for its success.
Shipley, Vicar of St. Asaph, whose house, a fine Elizabethan mansion, still stands. To Salisbury by way of Romsey is a fine drive of about thirty miles over good roads and through a very pleasing country. Long before we reached the town there rose into view its great cathedral spire, the loftiest and most graceful in Britain, a striking landmark from the country for miles around.
It was customary, when the great man condescended to attend such gatherings, to offer him a seat on the platform. This the obsequious Knowles proceeded to do. Asaph was too overcome by the disclosure of "John Smith's" identity and by Mr. Simpson's attack on his friend to remember even his manners. He did not rise, but sat stonily staring. The moderator's gavel descended "Order!" he roared.
In England, no town, however large it may be, is called a city, unless it has a Bishop and a Cathedral, as the capital of an Episcopal See. Thus the great seaport of Liverpool is only a town, while St. Asaph, with but one street and eight hundred inhabitants, is a city. The first Bishop of St. Asaph was St. Kentigern, a famous monk and monk-maker, and founder of monasteries.
"We adore it," says Mabel, emphatic. "Mr. Blueworthy," goes on the colonel, "will you sell us your home? I am prepared to pay a liberal price." Poor Asaph was kind of throwed on his beam ends, so's to speak. He hemmed and hawed, and finally had to blurt out that he didn't own the place. The Lamonts was astonished. The colonel wanted to know if it belonged to Mrs. Badger. "Why, no," says Ase.
The O.W., who has abided by his blanket-bag all night quietly taking in the fun rouses out the party at 4 A.M. For two of them are to fish Asaph Run with bait, and the other two are to try the riffles of Marsh Creek with the fly.
Asaph, the director of King David’s choir. He it was who named the spring and the creek which flows from it, St. Asaph’s.
But Asaph thrusts his doubts aside, and forces himself back into his old position; and the scepticism of Ecclesiastes is confessedly that of a man who had gone wandering after enjoyment; searching after pleasures pleasures of sense and pleasures of intellect and who, at last, bears reluctant testimony that, by such methods, no pleasures can be found which will endure; that he had squandered the power which might have been used for better things, and had only strength remaining to tell his own sad tale as a warning to mankind.
