He knew from his companion's attitude, plainly visible in the light of a lantern which hung on a hook at the other end of the room, that he had been awakened to listen. Again came the cry. "That's distress at sea," said Captain Cephas. "Harken!" They listened again for nearly a minute, when the cry was repeated. "Bounce on deck, boys!" said Captain Cephas, getting out on the floor.
"David an' Cephas, an' ole brer Mingo, Saul an' Paul, an' de w'ite folk sinners Oh, my chillern, follow de Lawd!" Supper was eaten in silence. When it was over, Gideon Rand sat with his back against a pine and smoked his pipe. His son went down to the river and stretched his length upon a mossed and lichened boulder.
"What has he done?" she repeated. "I guess he didn't do much of anything," Mrs. Barnard murmured, feebly; but Deborah did not seem to hear her. Cephas opened his mouth as if perforce. "Well," he said, slowly, "we got to talkin' " "Talkin' about what?" "About the 'lection. I think, accordin' to my reasonin', that what we eat had a good deal to do with it." "What?"
Every settler apportions his mite to Paul, to Apollos or to Cephas, according as it seems right in his own eyes; and occasionally it may happen, when any little offence is taken, that the popular saying is actually realized, and Peter is robbed that Paul may be paid.
While my father was conscientiously making acquaintance with the achievements of old-time art, modern artists were trying to practise their skill on him; he had already sat to Cephas Giovanni Thompson, and he was now asked to contribute his head to the studio of a certain Miss Lander, late of Salem, Massachusetts, now settled, as she intended, permanently in Rome.
No, he wuz fur away as fur as the Real is from the Unreal. Wall, we filed into the Loontown meetin'-house in pretty good shape. The same meetin'-house I had been sent to reconoiter. But Cephas hadn't no black handkerchief, and he looked worried about it. He had shed tears a-tellin' me about it, what a oversight it wuz, while I wuz a fixin' on his mournin' weed.
"Knew I couldn't do anything! Do you suppose me or Sarah would have let all the sister we've got go to the poor-house whilst we had a roof over our heads? We'd took you right in, either one of us." "I was afraid Silas an' Cephas wouldn't be willin'."
Charlotte never knew quite how it began, but her father suddenly flung out a dangerous topic like a long-argued bone of contention, and he and Barnabas were upon it. Barnabas was a Democrat, and Cephas was a Whig, and neither ever forgot it of the other.
She still held her mouth slightly open, but Cephas thought that it might be permissible, perhaps after three months of wedded bliss, to request her to be more careful in closing it.
And if he has offended seven times in the day against thee, and has turned to thee seven times, saying, "Have mercy on me!" forgive him." Then came a still deeper silence. Glaucus remained a long time with his hands covering his face; at last he removed them and said, "Cephas, may God forgive thy offences, as I forgive them in the name of Christ."
