"We called that evil which God sent for good," said Fabens. "I know not what we are coming to," sighed neighbor Nimblet. "But, we done some good, our lambs and geese are safe, sense we pisoned the animals," said Colwell, cheering up his heart. "I have noticed that the woods looked very yellow of late," said neighbor Nimblet. "What can be the cause of that?
Colwell steadily increased. The retail trade gradually developed into wholesale, and this grew into important proportions, pushing its ramifications through northern Ohio, Michigan, and north-western Pennsylvania. Mr. Colwell has attended closely to his business, taking no other interest in public affairs than is the duty of every good citizen.
The cutter, with Colwell and his party on board, had not yet got away, having been stopped by the cries from the shore, and she now steamed back under the stern of the "Thetis." Colwell was directed to go to the site of the cache and look for the explorers; and if any were alive, of which the record gave little hope, to tell them that relief was close at hand.
Colwell says that if you had got him to tell you where to put that well there would have been no danger of this sort of thing." The next day the optimist came to me, his face fairly blazing with a new idea. "I rode over on purpose to urge you," he cried, "if you should strike hot water, not to stop there. Go on, and, by George! you may strike fire." "Heavens!" I cried.
Barrows' death would be known; of Rhoda Colwell, confident of her revenge and blind to the fact that I held in my hand what might possibly blunt her sharpest weapon, and make her most vindictive effort useless. Then each and every consideration of a purely personal nature vanished, and I thought only of the grand and tortured soul of him upon whose solemn and awesome history I was about to enter.
"'S a bear, 's a bear, give him gowdy!" cried Colwell; and Uncle Walter laid his best eye on his old queen's-arm, and fired.
"The person did not lock his granary, and no borrower I dare say has set foot in it since." "Thief, why didn't ye say?" inquired Colwell. "O, he did not mean to steal," answered Fabens. "His family were hungry, and he was too bashful to ask for it, and was taking the wheat only till after the next year's harvest.
Then we see Flaxman, and hear him and Phoebe sing the same old nasal song, and observe their thrift and comfort. Then we visit Colwell, and the wives and children of all greet us with kindness, and a frank good-will in all their words and looks.
I would write to Dwight Pollard, and I would tell Rhoda Colwell I had done so, thus proving to her that I meditated nothing underhanded, and could be trusted to say what I would do, and do what I should say. This decision taken, I sat down immediately and penned the following two notes: MISS RHODA COLWELL: Owing to illness, your letter has just been read by me.
This was a source of deep regret to me, all the more that I did not know how to rectify the evil without running the risk of rousing suspicion in the breast of Rhoda Colwell. For, unreasonable as it may seem, her words had roused in me a dread similar to that which one might feel of a scorpion in the dark. I did not know how near she might be to me, or when she might strike.
