The verdict of the jury, deciding the questions of fact in pursuance of the judge's charge as to the law, was in favor of the defendants; and Mrs. Rhame entered a motion for a new trial. This was in due course denied by the Court of Appeals on the ground that Broad's will had clearly vested title to the slaves in Dangerfield, who after Broad's death was empowered to do with them as he pleased.
Broad's assurances that she really was not wanted, and watched over Priscilla till the end came. About a week afterwards, just when Priscilla seemed to be getting a little better she had been delirious, but her senses had returned and Mrs. Allen, who had been in the house all day, had departed, a change for the worse took place, and the doctor was summoned.
Broad's importance with the missionary students, because they saw how great were the weight and fatigue of the pastoral office. A flock like that which was shepherded by Mr. Broad required some management. Mrs. Broad took the women, and Mr. Broad the men; but Mrs. Broad was not a very able tactician. She was a Flavel by birth, and came from a distant part of the country.
Bushel sat on high at his desk, where he gave out the hymns, and coughed every now and then, and looked straight at the pew where the Allens and George sat. Mr. Bushel knew well enough that, although he was just as ardent on the other side, the sermon was not meant for him, and not one of Mr. Broad's remarks touched him. He thought only of the Allens, and rejoiced inwardly.
Thomas Broad's appearance in that quarter will be best explained by the following letter, which he had received the day before from his father: "My Dear Thomas, I was very glad to hear of your success at Mr. Martin's chapel, at Hackney, on Sunday afternoon.
I couldn't baffle a sore-eyed Siwash with snow-glasses." Lucky Broad's three-legged table stood among some stumps beside the muddy roadway which did service as the main street of Dyea and along which flowed an irregular stream of pedestrians; incidental to his practised manipulation of the polished walnut-shells he maintained an unceasing chatter of the sort above set down.
Miss Puttenham's face was turned toward John Broad's cottage; the Rector had his back to it. They were absorbed in what they were talking about, and had of course no idea that they were watched. "Why do you say my Miss Alice?" Barron inquired in astonishment. Mrs. Sabin gave a low laugh. And at the moment, Meynell turned so that the level light now flooding the village street shone full upon him.
There's these green streaks come that day I left my amberil at Captain Broad's, and went to meetin'. Mis' Broad she says to me, 'Aunt Ruey, it won't rain. And says I to her, 'Well, Mis' Broad, I'll try it; though I never did leave my amberil at home but what it rained. And so I went, and sure enough it rained cats and dogs, and streaked my bonnet all up; and them ar streaks won't bleach out, I'm feared."
Noting a half-dozen pairs of eyes upon him, the Norseman became conscious that he was a center of interest. He grinned half- heartedly and, after a brief hesitation, thrust forth a clumsy paw, lifted a shell, and exposed the object of general curiosity. "You guessed it!" There was commendation, there was pleased surprise, in Mr. Broad's tone. "You can't fool a foreigner, can you, boys? My, my!
Mistaking Broad's open mouth for one of the city gates, they all dashed through and disappeared. Broad closed his mouth, and having swallowed them, ran to rejoin his comrades in the palace of Matthias' father. He felt somewhat disturbed with a whole army inside him, and the earth groaned and trembled beneath him as he ran.
