Every other fellow said he didn't deserve it, much in the same way; but Old Cheeseman, not minding that a bit, went cheerfully round to every boy, and wound up with every master finishing off the Reverend last. Then a snivelling little chap in a corner, who was always under some punishment or other, set up a shrill cry of "Success to Old Cheeseman! Hooray!"
Come, git up and go home." Jerome did not stir; his white face was set straight ahead; he muttered something which the other could not hear. Cheeseman looked at him perplexedly. He laid hold of his shoulder and shook him again, and ordered him angrily, with no avail; then set off himself. He was old, and the chill of his wet clothes was stealing through him.
Lull, of the Baptist, came in with their people. They were received cordially, and set at work as opportunity offered. Besides these, several of our own Laymen gave themselves almost wholly to the work. Among these, Rev. L. Cheeseman, a Local Preacher, and E.T. Bond, Esq., a merchant, deserve special mention. Too much cannot be said in praise of these lay workers and the Church generally.
If the paper had only been the skin of the Radical Cheeseman, and the pens needles, how they would have delighted in their penalty! Scarcely had they begun work, however, when the school messenger came round unexpectedly to summon the whole school to assemble in the Great Hall. What could it be? Was it another lecture? or had the doctor repented of letting them off so easy?
The visitor waved both hands as he spoke, in a style not then common with Englishmen though they are learning eloquent gesticulation now. "It is fine, Mr. Cheeseman; but it is not bah, I forget your English words." "It is fine, sir, as you are good enough to observe" the humble James Cheeseman was proud of his shop "but not, as you remarked, altogether private.
'It has body, and I need the support. They each had a pint, served in the native pewter. When Cheeseman had taken a deep draught he leaned forward across the table. 'Hood, I don't forget it; never you believe that I forget it, however appearances may be against me? 'Forget what? give me the mustard, as soon as you can spare it; ha, ha! 'That ten-pound note! Hood dropped his knife and fork.
Instead of friends, as we expected, on the restoration, we are beset by enemies, who seize us by the throat and cry: 'Pay that thou owest!" "To these grievances are added the confinement of suffrage to freeholders, which hath disfranchised a large number of persons," put in Mr. Drummond. "Also the failure of the governor to protect the frontier from the Indians," added Mr. Cheeseman.
All the leading friends of Bacon whom he could seize were mercilessly put to death, some of them with coarse and aggravating insults. The wife of Major Cheeseman, one of the prisoners, knelt at the governor's feet and pitifully pleaded for her husband's life, but all she got in return from the old brute was a vulgar insult. The major escaped the gallows only by dying in prison.
I particularly wished to speak to Cheeseman, to ask him some questions about things I have observed, and especially his sad neglect of public worship a most shameful example on the part of a church-warden and I was thinking how to put it, affectionately yet firmly, when, to my great surprise, there was no Cheeseman to receive it!
Cheeseman had gone home, still Jerome was not alone much of the day. People came to congratulate him, also out of curiosity. The little village was wild over the legacy, and the document concerning its division among the poor. There were two distinct factions, one upholding the belief that Jerome would remain true to his promise, the other full of scoffing and scorn at the insanity of it.
