"Is your wife with you?" she inquired, as one who would say: "Tell me no lies!" "No, I am not married." At once she was one radiant smile of welcome: "Papa, we must do all we can to make Mr.
Then followed a brief and somewhat intimate history of the Gaylord Lumber Company, not at all flattering to that corporation. Mr. Bascom hinted, at an animus: there was no more need for a railroad in the Pingsquit Valley than there was for a merry-go-round in the cellar of the state-house. Bascom came to discuss the gentleman from Leith, and recited the names of the committees for which Mr.
Not a legislative day passed that he did not demand, with a firmness and restraint which did him infinite credit, that Mr. Bascom's and Mr. Butcher's committees report those bills to the House either favourably or unfavourably. And we must do exact justice, likewise, to Messrs. Bascom and Butcher; they, too, incited perhaps thereto by Mr.
Bascom, the practical, moved toward the edge of the seat. "Take your arm away, Seth," she cautioned. "They'll see you." "Who'll see me? What do I care who sees me? Ain't a man got a right to put his arm around his own wife, I'd like to know?" "Humph! Well, all right. I can stand it if you can. Only I cal'late your young Brown man is in for somethin' of a shock, that's all.
"I can't get mother Bascom to see it as I do," said Diadema, "but for one thing she's ben carryin' home bundles 'bout every other night for a month, though she's ben too smart to buy anythin' here at this store. She had Packard's horse to go to Saco last week.
After each interview with Bascom, Maxwell felt that every bit of life and heart had been pumped out of him, and that he was very young, and very foolish to attempt to make any change in "the good old ways" of the parish, which for so many years had stunted its growth and had acquired the immobility of the laws of the Medes and Persians.
It is well for General Doby, with his two hundred and fifty pounds, that he is in the Speaker's chair; five hundred seats are a good many for that hall, and painful in a long session. The Honourable Brush Bascom can stretch his legs, because he is fortunate enough to have a front seat. Upon inquiry, it turns out that Mr.

He went in the house. Bascom said: "There what did I tell you? Now, that is the way to handle Eckert.
Widow Mercy Bascom came back alone into the empty kitchen and seated herself in her favorite splint-bottomed chair by the window, with a dreary look on her face. "I s'pose I be an old woman, an' past goin' to cattle shows an' junketings, but folks needn't take it so for granted.
She set out to get clear of me and I let her have her way, same as I done in everything else." "She didn't set out to get clear of you." "She did." "No, she didn't." "I say she did."
