Straight down the cross street, under the roaring elevated tracks of Second and Third Avenues, they passed, and on First Avenue they turned and darted sharply south for a round dozen blocks, then went due east and came, to a halt after a brief run. "He's stopped in Beekman Place," said the driver, jerking open the door. "If I run in there he'll see me."
But this, naturally, Miss Beekman did not know. As may have been already surmised Miss Althea was a gracious, gentle and tender-hearted lady who never knowingly would have done a wrong to anybody and who did not believe that simply because God had been pleased to call her into a state of life at least three stories higher than her kitchen she was thereby relieved from her duty toward those who occupied it.
"We shall arrive there some time before the hour," said Mr. George; "but I thought it was better to be too early than too late." "Yes," replied Mrs. Beekman, "we can amuse ourselves half an hour in rambling about the colonnades and porticos of St. Peter's." In front of St. Peter's there is an immense area, enclosed on each side by a magnificent semicircular colonnade.
If it were true that parson Woods still insisted on praying for the king, it was known that the captain laughed at him for his reverence for Cæsar; if Robert Willoughby were a major in the royal forces, Evert Beekman was a colonel in the continentals; if the owner of the manor were born in England, his wife and children were born in America; and he, himself, was often heard to express his convictions of the justice of most of that for which the provincials were contending all, the worthy captain had not yet made up his mind to concede to them.
"True, dearest Maud; and there is another reason why we should quit this place only as man and wife. Beekman has owned that a question will probably be raised among the authorities at Albany concerning the nature of my visit here. It might relieve him from an appeal to more influence than would be altogether pleasant, did I appear as a bridegroom rather than as a spy."
I think I'll have her a few days. And you look up the poor old creatures and see if they are in any want. Then if I really can do them any good I'll go." She always softened in the end. She felt a little sore and touchy about Steve's engagement, and proud, too, that Miss Beekman had accepted him.
"What rot we've been talking," observed Smith, rising and picking up his suitcase. "Here's our station, and we'd better hustle or we'll lose the boat. I wouldn't miss that week-end party for the world!" "Neither would I," said Beekman Brown. Concerning the Sudden Madness of One Brown
"Lord bless you, sir, Madam Willoughby had his honour carried into her own room, and there she and Miss Beulah" so all of the Hut still called the wife of Evert Beekman "she and Miss Beulah, kneel, and pray, and weep, as you know, sir, ladies will, whenever anything severe comes over their feelings God bless them both, we all say, and think, ay, and pray, too, in our turns, sir."
"All the more reason for hoping they will not notice me." The town might burn, what matter, if only the way were free to the Beekman place. It was still dark when he reached his destination, worn and haggard. Over toward the greenhouse people were stirring about, and Andy rightly guessed that the prisoner, whoever he might be, was there.
But the Broadway Journal under the management of Poe was less of a success than it had been under Briggs and Poe, and the poet retired from it in the first month of 1846. This Clinton Hall in which Poe had his office was a substantial building at the southwest corner of Nassau and Beekman streets. Temple Court now stands on the site.
