Marriott's the house-keeper, and there we had a very good dinner and good company, among others Lilly, the painter. Thence to the councill-chamber, where in a back room I sat all the afternoon, but the councill begun late to sit, and spent most of the time upon Morisco's Tarr businesse.
They sang "Auld Lang Syne," and "We'll Meet Beyond the River," with that characteristic attraction of the common people for wistful, sorrowful cadences which is a paradox not easily explained. "All aboard!" called Councill from his wagon as Bradley drove the team up to the band stand.
"This way," roared Councill, putting his arm around his wife's waist. She boxed his ears, while he guffawed and clucked at his team. Burns took a measure of salt and went out into the pasture to salt the cows.
I'll ask Councill. Brother Councill, seen anything of the Elder?" "No. Didn't he go home with Bensen?" "I d'n know. I'll see." This was enough to start the news that "Pill had skipped." This the deacons denied, saying "he'd come or send word."
Onely Captaine Winne and Captaine Walclo I have sworne of the Councill, and crowned Powhattan according to your instructions. For the charge of the voyage of two or three thousand pounds we have not received the value of one hundred pounds, and for the quartered boat to be borne by the souldiers over the falls. Newport had 120 of the best men he could chuse.
"There is no hell at all! The Bible says the wicked perish utterly. They are consumed as ashes when they die. They perish as dogs!" "What kind o' docterin' is that?" asked a short man of Councill. "I d'know. It's ol' Sam Richards. Calls himself a Christian Christadelphian 'r some new-fangled name." At last people began to inquire, "Well, ain't he comin'?"
We'll take dinner with old Jake Schlimgen he's a power with the Germans." Bradley avoided political talk as much as possible, but when on the street there seemed nothing else to talk about. Councill and Ridings assured him he was all right in the eastern part of the county, and under their flattery he grew quite cheerful. Their simple, honest admiration did him good.
"Oh, I keep one at each end of the line," Milton replied, with his ready laugh. "Wal, I swan t' gudgeon! I can't keep track o' you town fellers. You're too many f'r me!" said Mrs. Councill. Carrie Hines came up behind Milton and Bettie and put her arms around their necks, bringing their cheeks together.
I arriv'd at Paris with my Brother-in-Law the 15th January, wher I understood ther was great complaints made against me in the King's Councill by my Lord Preston, his Majesty's Envoy Extrordinary, concerning what had past in the River and Port Nelson, and that I was accus'd of having cruelly abused the English, Robbed, stoln, and burnt their habitation; for all which my Lord Preston demanded satisfaction, and that exemplary punishment might bee inflicted on the offenders, to content his majesty.
But her quiet was broken by Sadie, who came leaping like a fawn down through the grass. "Oh, ma, Aunt Maria and Uncle William are coming. They've jest turned in." "I don't care if they be!" she answered in the same dully irritated way. "What're they comin' here to-day for, I wan' to know." She stayed there immovably, till Mrs. Councill came down to see her, piloted by two or three of the children.
