Dalton had an interview with Mary Fulton, who had once been his betrothed bride. She had been visiting some of her friends in Bayton, and Dalton called to see her, but so absolutely was he the slave of his appetite as to be under the influence of liquor when he did so.
Oh, Henry! I only wish I could trust you as I once could, and then there would not be a happier woman in Bayton." "I don't want any of your snivelling, Nell," he said; "I'd rather have something to eat." The supper was eaten in silence, the children being afraid to speak, and Mrs. Morris's heart was too full for conversation.
Her husband was, however, a farmer in very comfortable circumstances, and was chosen, because of his superior intelligence, as reeve of the township in which he resided; but he had become a poor, besotted victim of strong drink, and driving home from Bayton one night, while in a helpless state of intoxication, he was thrown from his buggy, being so injured by the fall as never to recover consciousness, and died the following day.
The speaker was Sheriff Bottlesby, and the question was asked in one of the private rooms of the Bayton House a house that was kept by Charles Rivers, Esq., and it was looked upon as the most respectable hotel in town.
It was a month or two after the events narrated in the last chapter when there was another meeting at the Bayton House of those who were the principal opponents of the Dunkin Act.
"Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found." Mr. and Mrs. Gurney still reside in Bayton, and his business is the most prosperous in the town.
As to the soil, there is no part of the world in which I have travelled, not even your much-lauded and far-famed Genesee, has better land than the country surrounding the town of Bayton, and I have been informed from the most reliable sources that the major portion of the land in Ontario is of a similar character." "I want to know!" ejaculated Mr. Howe.
He had at that time formed such a liking for Bayton that he resolved, with his father's consent, to purchase a partnership in one of the leading dry goods firms in the town, of which he is at the present sole proprietor, and doing a flourishing business. He had not been long there when he sought out Allie, who had made such an impression upon him that it was a case of love at first sight.
Gurney were originally Quakers, but, settling in Bayton in their early married life, they joined another body, though they ever retained a profound respect for the Church of their childhood.
Gurney, "there are hundreds of such wives in our town and county, and thousands within the bounds of our fair Dominion who are praying for our success." When Mr. Gurney, who was chairman of the temperance meeting, which was held in the Sons of Temperance Hall, in Bayton, on the evening of the polling day, sat down, there was a lady arose to address the meeting.
