"If it had not have been for that little bird at Chilton you might have hoodwinked me as blind as ever gerfalcon was hooded. Well, the young man will be here before evening. I would not force your inclinations, but it is the dearest desire of my heart to see you happily married before I blow out the candle, and bid my last good night.
I said I knew not what might meet me here, and but at long and at last I promised to wait until the first ship had followed us, and if Jacques came in her I would would listen to him again." "And that was all thy promise, maiden?" "Ay, and enough, for before we landed on yonder Rock, and 't was Mary Chilton and not thee, John, who first skipt ashore" "Oh, mind not that just now, Priscilla."
Chilton; "and I will tell you some more stories of dogs, for I now remember some more that are perfectly true. You never know how intelligent an animal is till you treat it with kindness. All animals are easily frightened by human beings, and fear makes them stupid. Children naturally love animals, but sometimes a foolish boy loves to show his power over them, and so learns to be cruel.
A railroad had been built across the continent and she had asked permission recently of her husband to visit her parents: her mother was now an invalid and Mr. Chilton would not leave her. But the doctor was more nearly angry than she had ever seen him. He couldn't live without her. He must always know she was "there."
In 1697, Edward Chilton testified before the Lords Commissioners of Trade and Plantations that the quit rents had brought but four or six shillings per hundred pounds, although the regular price of tobacco was twenty shilling. The wealthy planters consistently avoided the payment of taxes.
Chilton was very pale, and her lips were compressed till they grew purple. Clinching her hand, she said under her breath: "You artful little wretch. Am I to be thwarted by such a mere child? You shall not quit the house. Go to your room, and don't make a fool of yourself. In future I shall not concern myself about you, if you take root at the front door. Go in, and let matters stand.
But when she answered, she showed very plainly that she was trying to speak lightly and cheerfully. "Oh, no, dear! It wasn't Dr. Chilton at all that I meant. It is a new doctor a very famous doctor from New York, who who knows a great deal about about hurts like yours." Pollyanna's face fell. "I don't believe he knows half so much as Dr. Chilton." "Oh, yes, he does, I'm sure, dear."
Chilton Street and Chiltonville in Plymouth, and the Chilton Club in Boston, keep alive memories of this girl who was, by persistent tradition, the first woman who stepped upon the rock of landing at Plymouth harbor. He came from Canterbury, England, to Holland. N. E. Gen. Hist. Earlier Chiltons, William, spicer, and Nicholas, clerk, are classified as "Freemen by Redemption."
Of late Mark had not had very many letters, and this particular one bore the name of 'Chilton & Fladgate' on the flap of the envelope. The Ashburns were not a literary family, but they knew this as the name of a well-known firm of publishers, and it had roused their curiosity. Mark read the name too.
Confused beyond measure, as the hitherto unthought-of consequences of her impulsive action in sending for her friend rushed upon her mind, Mrs. Trent faltered out: "I forgot! You must excuse me, but I was so anxious to see you. My brother-in-law, Mr. Chilton. He arrived yesterday not having heard of mother's death."
