Hurlbut to come and see her once a day for a week, and get the young doctor to stay away. I'll resk it. She 'll have some dreadful tantrums at fust, but she'll come to it in two or three, days." Master Byles Gridley groaned in spirit.
"Gosh, it's just Byles to the ground!" cried Bauldie; and Johnston passed a half stick of gundy to Nestie to refresh him after his labours. "Are ony o' you chaps goin'? It wud be worth seein' Byles traking thro' the Kilspindie Woods, with thae bleatin' sheep o' Dowbiggins at his heels, carryin' an airmful o' roots and sic like."
The sole Congregational minister who supported the king was Mather Byles, famed for his witticisms, and he likewise declined to bring into the pulpit any mention of the affairs of the day.
Byles Gridley? he said to himself. At half past four o'clock on Sunday morning the shepherd brought the stray lamb into the paved yard at The Poplars, and roused the slumbering household to receive back the wanderer.
A book called "A Collection of Poems by Several Hands" apparently was gathered by methods similar to the one shown by the advertisement just quoted. It was printed in 1744, and was a puerile and banal collection containing but few good verses, and was apparently made expressly to show off the literary accomplishments of Mather Byles, who was what Carlyle would call an intellectual dapperling.
He was not ill-looking, according to the village standard, parted his hair smoothly, tied his white cravat carefully, was fluent, plausible, had a gift in prayer, was considered eloquent, was fond of listening to their spiritual experiences, and had a sickly wife. This is what Byles Gridley said; but he was apt to be caustic at times. Father Pemberton visited his people but rarely.
She is of discreet age, and will tell you when it is time to come away, you might stay too long, you know. I've known young persons stay a good deal too long at these interviews, a great deal too long, Susan Posey!" Such was the fatherly counsel of Master Byles Gridley.
Like all bachelors who have lived a lonely life, Master Byles Gridley had his habits, which nothing short of some terrestrial convulsion or perhaps, in his case, some instinct that drove him forth to help somebody in trouble could possibly derange.
"Yet, Harry, those people have souls, destined to live for ever," said Arthur, in answer to a remark I made that they were little better than brutes. "Don't you think if the gospel were taken to them it would have its never-failing effect? I will speak to Captain Byles on the subject when we get on board." He did so.
Our young poet, too, one we raised in this place, Mr. Lindsay, and a superior article of poet, as we think, that is, some of us, for the rest of us are jealous of him, because the girls are all dying for him and want his autograph. And Cyp, yes, you must talk to Cyp, he has ideas. But don't forget to get hold of old Byles Master Gridley I mean before you go. Big head.
