The wind roared through the creaking oaks; the horses stirred complainingly, the bells on their backs crying out querulously; the heads of the fortunates inside were shadowed outside on the snow, and the restless young men amused themselves betting on which head was Bensen and which Councill. At last some one pounded on the desk inside.
"Most time f'r the Elder to come, ain't it?" "Oh, I guess he's preparin' a sermon." John Jennings pushed anxiously to Daddy Brown. "Ain't the Elder comin'?" "I d'know. He didn't stay at my house." "He didn't?" "No. Thought he went home with you." "I ain't see 'im 't all. I'll ask Councill. Brother Councill, seen anything of the Elder?" "No. Didn't he go home with Bensen?" "I d'n know. I'll see."
Benson was not at supper that evening, but I paid no attention to it nor thought it strange, supposing he was just a little late getting home. The next morning I noticed that he was not at the breakfast table, and I asked Mrs. Benson why Mr. Bensen didn't come to his breakfast. She asked if I had not told him to stay on the preemption claim that night.
The meeting broke up at last, and the people, chilly, soured, and disappointed at the lack of developments, went home saying Pill was scaly; no preacher who chawed terbacker was to be trusted, and when it was learned that the horse and buggy he drove he owed Jennings and Bensen for, everybody said, "He's a fraud."

I turn the mare and cutter over to Jacob Bensen, for the note he holds. I hain't got much religion left, but I've got some morality. That's all I want to say now." When he sat down there was a profound hush; then Bacon arose. "That's man's talk, that is! An' I jest want 'o say, Andrew Pill, that you kin jest forgit you owe me anything. An' if ye want any help come to me.

The most remarkable among the histories of celebrated cities are those of St. Gall by Arx, of Vienna by Mailath, of Frankfort on the Maine by Kirchner, of Ulm and Heilbronn by Jaeger, of Rotenburg on the Tauber by Bensen, etc. Ritter, and, next to him, Berghaus, greatly extended the knowledge of geography. Maps were drawn out on a greatly improved scale.
I'll ask Councill. Brother Councill, seen anything of the Elder?" "No. Didn't he go home with Bensen?" "I d'n know. I'll see." This was enough to start the news that "Pill had skipped." This the deacons denied, saying "he'd come or send word."
