I gave it up to her. "It will kill your father." I had not thought of him. "It's most nine o'clock. Sofrony Beals is here; she lays out beautifully." "No, no; don't let anybody touch her!" shrieked Verry. "No, they shan't. Come into the kitchen; you must have something to eat." I was faint from the want of food, and when Temperance prepared us something I ate heartily.
It told me it could never forget it had been baptized a Catholic; and it pined for the beggar who rang it in the land of fan-leaved chestnuts! It would growl and strangle as much as possible in the hands of Benjamin Beals, the bell-ringer and coffin-maker of Barmouth. Except in the morning when it called me up, I was glad to hear it.
We'll see to that, eh, Beals?" and the Senator sauntered over to a livelier group dominated by Cornelia Pallanton's waving black plumes. "Oh, marriage!" Conny chaffed, "it's the easiest thing a woman can do, isn't it? Why should one be in a hurry when it's so hard to go back?" "Matrimony," Fosdick remarked, "is an experiment where nobody's experience counts but your own."
And there was Elsie Beals, quite elegant, the only daughter of the President of the A. and P. The Woodyards, Percy and Lancey, classmates of Vickers at the university, both slim young men, wearing their clothes carelessly, clearly not of the Hollenby manner, had attached themselves here. Behind them was Nan Lawton, too boisterous even for the open air.
Beals was a splendid "operator," and he rapidly brought the Atlantic and Pacific into the first rank of the world's railroads. When this "Readjustment" had been successfully put through, the burden was some forty or fifty millions larger than before, where those millions went is one of the mysteries to reward that future Carlyle! but the public load was adjusted more trimly.
"Look here, Nahum Beals," he said, "you're in my house, but I ain't goin' to stand no such talk as that, I can tell you." John Sargent laid a pacifically detaining hand on Nahum Beals's arm as he strode past him. "Oh, Lord, stop rampagin' up and down like a wildcat," he said. "What good do you think you're doin' tearin' and shoutin' and insultin' people?
"It seems sometimes as if the Almighty himself was in league with 'em," he shouted out, "but I tell you it won't last, it won't last." "I don't see much sign of any change for the better," Andrew said, gloomily. "I tell you, sir, it won't last," repeated Nahum Beals. "I tell you, the Lord only raises 'em up higher and higher that He may dash 'em lower when the time comes.
Nahum Beals did not come in those days, for he was in prison awaiting trial for the murder of Norman Lloyd. However, Amos Lee's note was as impressive as his. He called often with Sargent and Atkins. They could not shake him off. He lay in wait for them at street corners, and joined them. He never saw Ellen alone, and did not openly proclaim his calls as meant for her.
"The poor that the Lord died for can't afford to keep his birthday; it is the rich that he's going to cast into outer darkness, that keep it for their own ends, and it's a blasphemy and a mockery," proclaimed Nahum Beals. He was very excited that night, and would often spring to his feet and stride across the room.
He spread his hands as if he were addressing an audience, and as he did so the parlor door opened and Jim Tenny and Eva stood there, listening. "I tell you, sir," shouted Nahum Beals, "the time will come when you will all thank God that you belong to the poor and down-trodden of this earth, and not to the rich and great the time will come.
