He came forward with his usual shambling gait, and an additional shade of sullenness apparent on his face, but it glowed a swarthy red when he recognized the lady. "Good afternoon, Mr. Colson," she said, and she held forth her delicately-gloved hand. His own went forward to meet it; then drew suddenly back. "It is not clean enough," he said; "there's ink or something on it."
He afterward returned to Lichfield, and in 1737 came up to town in company with Samuel Johnson, who was to make so conspicuous a figure in the literary world, and of whose life we have already given an account. Soon after his arrival in London, Garrick entered himself at Lincoln's Inn, and he also put himself under the tuition of Mr. Colson, an eminent mathematician at Rochester.
Her welcome from William Colson and his mother was as cordial and hearty as ever, perhaps more so; Hannah's greetings were affectionate, but constrained.
"It will not be necessary for my brother to lie alongside all night, will it, sir?" "Oh, no. Boatswain's mate, you go back and report to Mr. Colson." "Very good, sir," replied the petty officer, with his linger to his cap.
Hannah Colson, with all her youthful charms, might think herself a lucky damsel in securing the affections of such a lover as this; and that she did actually think so was the persuasion of those who knew her best of her mother, of her brother William, and of Lucy Meadows; although the coy, fantastic beauty, shy as a ring-dove, wild as a fawn of the forest, was so far from confessing any return of affection, that whilst suffering his attentions, and accepting his escort to the rural gaieties which beseemed her age, she would now profess, even while hanging on his arm, her intention of never marrying, and now coquet before his eyes with some passing admirer whom she had never seen before.
"Then he gets an order from the captain to give the men their clothes and small stores tobacco, soap, sewing silk, and the like, you know, sir. I was told to come back and report to you, Mr. Colson." "Very good. Get aboard the launch. Can you and the moke get along by yourselves?" he continued, turning to Marcy. "I see you have but one hand."
Colson. General, this is one of my young men, of whom I told you." Whereupon the famous general, hero of many battles, held out his honored hand, and took Dirk's in a cordial grasp. I don't suppose I could explain to you what an effect this action had on a boy like Dirk. There is this comfort: you may be a student of human nature, and therefore may understand it all without explanation.
"I tell you, Flossy, I believe a consecrated life will be honored by the Lord, in whatever channel he gives it talents to develop. 'Whatsoever he doth shall prosper. That young man is going to have a career in business. I shouldn't be surprised if the Master meant him to show the world how a Christian can use money to his glory." It is early yet to prophesy what Mr. Colson will do.
She would not detain him long; but she wished to make an appointment with him for the next day. "Mr. Colson!" The chief and his perplexed assistant looked at each other thoughtfully, and shook their heads. There was no such person connected with their establishment. She must have the wrong number. No; she was positive. "He told me only three days ago that he was in your employ.
Sallie did not believe it in the least probable; she had not that amount of faith in Dirk Colson; but suppose he should, Mart could not go, for the reason that she would have nothing to wear. And here was Sallie's pretty cape, which would cover the worst of her dress, and her pretty bonnet, which she knew would make a picture of Mart; but if she lent them it meant staying at home to Sallie.
