At length a time came when I ceased to recollect anything when all was one awfull hideous, fantastic dream! At last, on Tuesday, the seventh of the month of July, after crawling on our hands and knees for many hours, more dead than alive, we reached the point of junction between the galleries. I lay like a log, an inert mass of human flesh on the arid lava soil. It was then ten in the morning.
As I record this awfull day, dear Dairy, there comes again into my mind the thought that I DO NOT BELONG HERE. I am not like them. I do not even resemble them in features. And, if I belonged to them, would they not treat me with more consideration and less disipline? Who, in the Familey, has my noze? It is all well enough for Hannah to observe that I was a pretty baby with fat cheaks.
They all came back as soon as my Father had slamed the house door, and if they had been feirce before they were awfull then, the cook with a handkerchief to her mouth, and Henry's friend getting out a watch and giving me five minutes. He had counted three minutes and was holding his Revolver to just behind my ear, when I heard the milk waggon coming back, with the horse galloping.
Selwyn took out his handkerchief, an' got down on his knees, an' began to wipe off the lemonade, telling her something 'bout his 'heart, an' wishing he could 'kneel at her feet forever! Auntie got awfull' red, an' told him to stand up, but he wouldn't; an' then she looked at me so awfull' cross that I thought I'd better leave, so while she was saying, 'Rise, Mr.
"Oh, ifs all right now, Imp. Shake hands!" Joyfully the little, grimy fingers clasped mine, and from that moment I think there grew up between us a new understanding. "Why, Imp, my darling, you're crying!" exclaimed a voice, and with a rustle of skirts Lisbeth was down before him on her knees. "I know I am 'cause I'm awfull' sorry an' Uncle Dick's whipped my hands an' I'm glad!"
"Yes; I mean his clothes are funny all over marks like little crosses, only they aren't crosses." "Like this?" I inquired; and picking up a piece of stick I drew a broad-arrow upon the path. "Yes, just like that!" cried the Imp in a tone of amazement "How did you know? You're awfull' clever, Uncle Dick!" "And he is in the old boat-house, is he?" I said, as I picked up an armful of packages.
Auntie Lisbeth got awfull' angry 'cause she said I ate too fast; an' Dorothy was frightened an' wouldn't sit by me 'cause she was 'fraid I'd burst so frightfully silly of her!" "By the way, you didn't tell me what you have there," I said, pointing to a huge, misshapen, newspaper parcel that he carried beneath one arm. "Oh, it's a shirt, an' a coat, an' a pair of trousers of Peter's."
All the works and doings of God are wonderfull, but none more awfull than his great worke of election and Reprobation; when we consider how many good parents have had bad children, and againe how many bad parents have had pious children, it should make us adore the Soverainty of God who will not be tyed to time nor place, nor yet to persons, but takes and chuses when and where and whom he pleases: it should alsoe teach the children of godly parents to walk with feare and trembling, lest they, through unbeleif, fall short of a promise: it may also be a support to such as have or had wicked parents, that, if they abide not in unbeleif, God is able to grasse them in: the upshot of all should make us, with the Apostle, to admire the justice and mercy of God, and say, how unsearchable are his wayes, and his footsteps past finding out.
Enter Thorowgood, Clariana, and Magdalen. Mag. This way she went, Ime sure. Cla. Yonder is somebody among the Trees Hard by the River: alasse, tis shee! Tho. Lady. Tempt me not, frailty: I disdaine revolt From ought the awfull violence of my will Has once determind. Dost thou tremble, flesh?
"I mean, do you think Mr. Selwyn is in love with Auntie Lisbeth?" "My Imp. I'm afraid he is. Why?" "Cause cook says he is, an' so does Jane, an' they know all about love, you know. I've heard them read it out of a book lots an' lots of times. But I think love is awfull' silly, don't you, Uncle Dick?" "Occasionally I greatly fear so," I sighed.
