Her whole theological training was condensed in that last brief question. The, old man took her hand and looked her in the face, with a wonderful tenderness in his squared features. "Wicked to live, my dear? No indeed! Here! look at me, my child; don't you know your old friend Byles Gridley?" She was awake now. The sight of a familiar countenance brought back a natural train of thought.
"Geranniums! ger havers, that's no' what Speug is after, you bet. Man, Bauldie, I peety Byles, I do. Peter'ill lose the lot o' them in the woods or he'ill stick them in a bog, or" and Jock could hardly hold his kite "what div ye say to this, man? he'ill row them over to Woody Island and leave them there till Monday, with naething but bread and milk and the net to sleep in."
She succeeded at last, and laid down a five-dollar bill as if she were as used to the pleasing figure on its face as to the sight of her own five digits. Master Byles Gridley had struck a spade deeper than he knew into his first countermine, for Kitty had none of those delicate scruples about the means of obtaining information which might have embarrassed a diplomatist of higher degree.
The evening was made pleasant with sacred music, and the fatigues of two long services repaired by such simple refections as would not turn the holy day into a day of labor. A large paper copy of the new edition of Byles Gridley's remarkable work was lying on the table. He never looked so happy, could anything fill his cup fuller?

"And this is what you have been working at so long, is it, Clement?" Myrtle said. "Which is the image of your protector, Myrtle?", he answered, smiling.
It was a longish kind of a pauper, and there was some blotches of ink on the back of it, an' they looked like a face without any mouth, for, says I, there's two spots for the eyes, says I, and there's a spot for the nose, says I, and there's niver a spot for the mouth, says I." This was the substance of what Master Byles Gridley got out of Kitty Fagan. It was enough, yes, it was too much.
Mather Byles heightened the general merriment by his celebrated jest on the British soldiers: "The people," said he, "sent over to England to obtain a redress of grievances. The grievances have returned red-dressed." The Hall is still used for public meetings, and the region roundabout is still an important public market. Poor boys had a hard time of it in New England eighty years ago.
