Bodley would not give the divines who were engaged upon a bigger bit of work even than his library the translation of the Bible into that matchless English which makes King James's version our greatest literary possession permission to borrow 'the one or two books' they wished to see.
Andrew Mallison led the way to the office and called up a stout, pleasant looking man. "Mr. Drew, this is a young friend of mine, Joe Bodley. He worked for me this summer, around the boats and also in the hotel. Now that the season is at an end he is trying to find something to do in the city. If you have an opening I can recommend him." Mr. Arthur Drew surveyed Joe critically.
In 1595 Bodley wrote to Cotton, asking him whether he held to his "old intention for helping to furnish the Universitie librarie," and in 1601 he acknowledges having received from Cotton a contribution of manuscripts for that purpose. These manuscripts were eleven in number, the titles of which may be seen in Smith's manuscript notes to his catalogue in the Bodleian library.
Some disgusts which she had received from the states, joined to the remonstrances of her frugal minister, Burleigh, made her also inclined to diminish her charges on that side, and she even demanded by her ambassador, Sir Thomas Bodley, to be reimbursed all the money which she had expended in supporting them. Camden, p. 586.
When Joe told him what Bill Badger had had to say about a certain man called Bill Bodley he was much interested. "Yes, you must find out about this man at once," said he. "I will help you, as soon as certain matters are settled." The next morning proved a busy one and Joe got no time to call upon Bill Badger's father. He visited the mine and looked over it with interest.
I had no idea that that Bodley young man would play me such a trick. I shall have to refuse to play for any more of the dances," he said, in his hesitating, stammering way. "You may be sure I shall not tell her," Janice said firmly. They went into the dark store together as though they had just met on the porch. "I'm awfully glad you've both come," said 'Rill Drugg.
Running up the walk of the neatly-kept garden, he mounted the piazza and rang the bell several times. "What's the matter?" asked Doctor Gardner, who came himself to answer the summons. "Our cabin is in ruins, because of the storm, and Mr. Bodley is badly hurt," answered Joe, and related some of the particulars. "This is certainly too bad, my boy," said the physician.
I believe Marm Parraday's on the rampage," exclaimed Joe Bodley, with a silly smile on his face. The door from the hall flew open. In the dusky opening the woman's lean and masculine form looked wondrous tall; her hollow eyes burned with unnatural fire; her thin and trembling lips writhed pitifully.
"Come into the house," he said putting down his saw. "I'm glad to see you," and when our hero had entered the little farmhouse he was introduced to Mrs. Greggs and two grown-up sons, all of whom made him feel thoroughly at home. "To tell the truth," said Mr. Greggs, "I did not know William Bodley very well. I came here looking for a farm and heard this was for sale, and struck a bargain with him."
"Agin I say, Josiah Allen's wife, that if it wuzn't for our close relationship I should turn on you. A worm will turn," sez he, "if it is too hardly trampled on." "I hain't trampled on you," sez I, "nor hain't had no idea on't. I wuz only statin' the solemn facts and truth of the matter. And you will see it some time, Cephas Bodley, if you don't now."
