Aunt Boyle's property had consisted chiefly in large cotton mills owned by herself and her twin brother, who, dying before her, left her all his own share in them. These mills were on a noisy little river in the western part of Massachusetts, in a valley, narrow, but picturesque, and so far above the level of the sea that the air was keen and pure as among mountains. Mrs.
And she ran at full speed down the hill and into the mill yard, followed by Barney protesting that it was too hot to run. "How are you, Mrs. Boyle?" she panted. "I'm in an awful hurry. I'm after father's buttermilk and that recipe, you know." Mrs. Boyle's eyes rested lovingly upon her flushed face. "Indeed, there's no hurry, Margaret. Barney should not be letting you run."
While Slavens believed this to be pure bluff, knowing that whatever influence Boyle might have with the person in question, the official would be too wise to show his subserviency in any such manner, at the same time the doctor was well enough convinced of Boyle's great and pernicious influence without a further demonstration.
As he stripped Boyle's clothing off to bare the wound, Slavens ordered Ten-Gallon to go and see whether the old gambler had paid his last loss. "I won't touch him! I won't lay a hand on him!" Ten-Gallon refused, drawing back in alarm. Boyle was not dead, though Shanklin's bullet had struck him perilously near the heart and had passed through his body.
"If he says another word, you'll have to leave him," said he. "This is one case where talk will turn out anything but cheap." He joined Agnes, and together they walked away from the scene of violence and death. "You're tired to death," said he. "I'm going to take possession of Boyle's tent down there for you, and you've got to take a long sleep. After that we'll think about the future."
Boyle's "principles of religion," but he was none the less a very honest man, perfectly open and candid, and the last person to use ambiguous phraseology, among his friends; unless, indeed, he saw no other way of putting a stop to the intrusion of unmannerly twaddle amongst the bitter-sweet memories stirred in his affectionate nature by so heavy a blow.
Orthodoxy is my doxy, heterodoxy the other fellow's." "In Boyle's case, I believe he was helped by his touch of heresy. It gave him a kind of brotherly feeling with all heretics. It was that more than anything else that broke up the Freethinkers' Club." "Ah," said the Superintendent, bending eagerly forward, again on the scent, "I didn't hear that."
So it was with Boyle's law that the volume of a gas varies in inverse ratio to the pressure to which it is exposed; so it is with the Darwinian theory, inasmuch as deterioration and degeneration play a part which was, perhaps, at first overlooked; and similar instances may be found in almost all pure sciences. I conceive that the parallel from the technical point of view is a double one.
Well, sir, in about five minutes it seemed to me that Boyle's theology was a tattered remnant. Some of the brethren interfered, explaining and apologizing for the young man after their kindly custom, but Squeaky wouldn't have it. 'This is most serious, Mr. Moderator! he sung out. 'This demands the most searching investigation!
He considered his Rev. friend to be something of a slippery fish, while Father Boyle's opinion of him likewise referred him to an elemental substance, of slow movement-earth, in short: for he continued to look argumentative after all had been said. Or perhaps he threw a coveting eye on sweet Miss Kathleen and had his own idea of mending a stitch of the breach in a quite domestic way.
