Corey stuck his head out of the door at the back of the hall as Gordon entered, and started to retire again until he spotted Murdoch. Gordon explained the situation hastily. "It's your room, cobber," the old man wheezed. He waddled back, to come out with a towel and key, which he handed to Murdoch. "Number forty-two." His heavy hand rested on Gordon's arm, holding the younger man back.
Corey refused the consequence, saying that it did not follow. "Besides, he did praise her." "You ought to be glad that matters are in such good shape, then. At any rate, you can do absolutely nothing." "Oh! I know it," sighed Mrs. Corey. "I wish Tom would be a little opener with me." "He's as open as it's in the nature of an American-born son to be with his parents.
And on that same day Martha Corey and Rebecca Nurse, the wife of Francis Nurse senior, did both torture me, with tortures such as no tongue can express." "Did you suffer from Rebecca Nurse again?" the witness was asked. "Yes." "When?" "On divers times. On the 20th, which was the Sabbath day.
"I mean the Colonel and myself," explained Mrs. Lapham. "Oh yes yes!" said Mrs. Corey. "I'm sure," the former went on, rather helplessly, "we had to work hard enough for everything we got. And so we appreciated it." "So many things were not done for young people then," said Mrs. Corey, not recognising the early-hardships standpoint of Mrs. Lapham.
Yet, when it came to accounting for Tom Corey, as it often did in a community where every one's generation is known to the remotest degrees of cousinship, they could not trace his sweetness to his mother, for neither Anna Bellingham nor any of her family, though they were so many blocks of Wenham ice for purity and rectangularity, had ever had any such savour; and, in fact, it was to his father, whose habit of talk wronged it in himself, that they had to turn for this quality of the son's.
He discussed it with Mother Corey, who agreed that Wayne would be re-elected. "Can't lose," the old man said. He was getting even fatter, now that he was eating better food from the fair restaurant around the corner. "He'll win," Mother Corey repeated. "And you'll turn honest all over, now you're in uniform. Take me, cobber.
For a little moment she feels herself strange in the house, and suffers herself to be treated like a guest, before envy of his comfort vexes her back into possession and authority. Mrs. Corey was a lady, and she did not let her envy take the form of open reproach. "Well, Anna, you find me here in the luxury you left me to. How did you leave the girls?" "The girls were well," said Mrs.
"Looking for a room?" he whined. "I'm looking for Mother Corey." "Then you're looking at him, cobber. Sleep on the floor, want a bunk, squat with four, or room and duchess to yourself?" There was a period of haggling, followed by a wait as Mother Corey kicked four grumbling men out of a four-by-seven hole on the second floor.
The answer was ready: Martha Corey, and Rebecca Nurse, and Bridget Bishop, and so on; the charges being made now against the members, often the heads, of the most reputable families in Salem town and village and the surrounding neighborhoods. Before the coming of the winter snows probably one hundred and fifty persons were in prison at Salem and Ipswich and Boston and Cambridge.
"Well; and what else?" asked Corey. "There isn't any more. Simply he's out of work, and wants something to do anything to do anything that isn't menial." "Ah, that's a queer start of his," said Bellingham thoughtfully. "I don't know but I like that." "And do you come to such effete posterity as we are for help in a case like that?" demanded Corey. "Why, the boy's an Ancestor!" "So he is!
