But Malcolmson, Cahoon and McNeice were all present, and the Dean, having escaped the overpowering atmosphere of Moyne House, was able to express his opinions freely and forcibly. On the other hand Lady Moyne was not there, and Moyne, when it comes to persuading men, is a very poor substitute for her. The English Unionists could not be there, so the weight of their moderation was not felt.
Solomon did not look at her, but, after a moment, he spoke. "Thankful Cahoon," he said, calling her by her maiden name. "I I've been a bad man. I'm goin' to hell." Thankful jumped. "Mercy on us!" she cried. "What kind of talk " "I'm goin' to hell," repeated Solomon. "When a man does the way I've done that's where he goes. I'm goin there and I'm goin' pretty soon. I've had my notice."
He had studied medicine studied it after a fashion, that is; he never applied himself to anything and was then, in '88, "ship's doctor" aboard a British steamer, which ran between Philadelphia and Glasgow. Miss Osgood had met him at the home of a friend of hers who had traveled on that steamer. Hephzy and I do not agree as to whether or not he actually fell in love with Ardelia Cahoon.
"This is goin' to be a meMOriable town meetin'!" declared Sylvanus Cahoon, with unction, rising from the settee to gaze about him over the heads of the voters in the townhall. "I bet you every able-bodied man in Bayport 'll be here this forenoon. Yes, sir! that's what I call it, a me-MO-riable meetin'!" "See anything of Cy?" inquired Josiah Dimick, who sat next to Sylvanus.
"I've no actual authority for saying so," I said, "but I expect we'll want to do the thing decently if we do it at all. Cahoon has the mind of a statesman, and in his opinion something will have to be done to soothe the Dublin public. A first-rate Viceregal establishment was his idea. However, we needn't go into details. The main thing is that we want a Lord Lieutenant.
"Do you mean to say," I said, "that you've bought that weapon?" "I haven't her bought yet," said McConkey; "but I have the money by me." "And you actually mean " I said. "Ay. I do." I looked at Cahoon. He was still studying the drawings of the gun. "It'll be queer," said McConkey, slowly, "if she doesna' land a few of them in hell before they have me catched." I turned to Cahoon again.
Next him sat Babberly. Cahoon, McNeice and Malcolmson sat together at the bottom of the table. I was given a chair on Moyne's other side. Conroy would not sit at the table at all. He had two chairs in a corner of the room. He sat on one of them and put his legs on the other. He also smoked a cigar, which I think everybody regarded as bad form.
The time of baptism was fixed at 2 P.M. Long before this hour the spot was surrounded by as many people as could have a clear view. Rigdon went into the pool which at the deepest was about four feet and after a suitable address, with prayer, Cahoon came forward and was immersed. Standing in the water, Rigdon gave one of his most powerful exhortations. The assembly became greatly affected.
"Do you really think," I said, "that he ?" "We're business men," said Cahoon, "and we don't throw away our money." "But," I said, "who are you going to shoot at? It would be silly to attack a tax collector with a gun like that. I don't see who " "Oh," said Cahoon, "don't fret about that. We'll find somebody to shoot at." "There'll be plenty," said McConkey, "when the time comes."
Poor Moyne has sold every acre of his property and the Dean's only difficulty with the majority of his large congregation is that he does not curse the Pope often enough to please them. Cahoon, I am told, only sweats in the old-fashioned intransitive sense of the word. He is frequently bathed in perspiration himself.
