It will be recollected that it was this poor man's sufferings that I made the ground-work of my charges against the monster of a gaoler and the Magistrates. How much more delightful is the occupation to record the good, than the evil deeds of one's fellow creatures; how much more gratifying is it to me, to write of a Dr. Shaw, than of a Dr. Colston!
Something in the tone in which these last words were spoken struck Arnold with a kind of cold chill, and he shivered slightly as he said in answer to Colston "I am ready when you are, and no less anxious than you to set eyes on my model. I hope to goodness it is all safe! Do you know, when I am away from it I feel just like a woman away from her first baby."
Colston was given into custody by one of his fellow-lodgers in the Baine House, who had observed him acting very suspiciously, baring his throat and whetting a razor occasionally trying its edge by actually cutting through the skin of his arm, etc.
"Then, though you always look charming, you're now unusually fresh and fit; there's no doubt that the place agrees with you." Mrs. Colston could not deny it. She yielded for the present, deciding to wait until some turn of events rendered him more amenable. In spite of his good humor, Harry was obstinate and often hard to move.
However, they withdrew before any damage was done, although a large piece of shell which flew past our gun gave General Colston a close call as he tarried near it. After threatening weather, the sun rose clear on the following morning. A light mist which lay along the river soon disappeared, and again, as at Harper's Ferry, our elevated position afforded a superb view.
Colston took the money very affably, but still she did not return the visit. Meanwhile Mrs. Furze was doing everything she could to make herself genteel. Mrs. Furze's old furniture had, nearly all, been discarded or sold, and two new carpets had been bought.
I don't think the pistol's safe; it goes off too easily. However, the most important thing is that nobody is hurt." "That's fortunate. I'll take the weapon from you," replied the officer dryly. When Colston had given it to him, as if glad to be rid of it, the officer noted the positions and attitudes of the others before he turned to Prescott. "Can you tell me anything?" he asked.
Colston and his wife, and kept them in check a little way behind, so that Catharine and their son were side by side when the entrance was reached. Of course he could do nothing but offer Catherine his umbrella, and his company on the way homewards, but to his utter amazement, and the confusion of Mrs.
Colston always speaks of you by your first name. You ought to hear how he praises you." "Trust Harry to praise any one," I said. "There were some pretty low fellows on the old team men who couldn't keep their word or their tempers, and would slug every chance they got; but Harry used to insist there wasn't a bad egg among the lot."
"Would you allow me just to look at the subscription list?" interposed Mr. Furze, humbly; but before it could be handed to him Mrs. Furze had settled the matter. "Five pounds oh yes, certainly, Mrs. Colston. Mr. Cawston is, I believe, a young man of talent?" "Undoubtedly, and he deserves encouragement.
