You forget; forget two great things. I know my mother's name was Loring, not Calvert. And my father's name was Garrison, not Dagget." "Um-m-m," mused Drake, knitting brows. "You don't say? But, see here, kid, didn't you say that this Dagget's mother was only Major Calvert's half-sister? How about that, eh? Then her name would be different from his. How about that?
If by any chance I am William C. Dagget, then then I want to be worthy of that name. And I owe everything to Garrison. I'm going to clean that name. It meant something once and it'll mean something again." "I believe you, kid." Subsequently, Drake fulfilled his word concerning the "rustling round" after that eminent lawyer, Theobald D. Snark. His efforts met with failure.
But if you'll believe it, I had hardly got the words out of my mouth and Josiah had jest laid holt of the water pail, when in comes Philander Dagget, the President of the Jonesville Creation Searchin' Society and, of course, he had a job for us to do on our tower.
At the age of seventeen she was married to Joseph Dagget, who possessed those qualities which she was naturally most inclined to admire in a man. The seventeen years that followed her marriage she spent with her husband in the wilds of the North and West, where she obtained all the further experience necessary to complete her education as a practical Woman of the Border.
I'd hate to see yuh get in trouble, so you'd better take this old road up ahead here. That'll bring yuh out at Dagget and you'll miss Barstow altogether. I just came from there; there's a hard gang hanging around on the lookout for anything they can pick up. Don't get caught again. On your way!" Casey drove for half a mile still staring straight before him. Then young Kenner laughed shortly.
Sez I, "Do you git down and pull down your bask, and wipe your nose and eyes; you look like fury, Selinda Dagget." "No," sez she; "Bizer wanted me to ride, and I shall die a-pleasin' him. I took vows of obedience onto me at the altar, and if I die here, Sister Allen, tell the female sistern at Jonesville that I died a-keepin' them vows."
It is unnecessary to state that such a woman as Mrs. Dagget was an exceedingly useful member of frontier society. Several times she and her husband had been the leading spirits in starting new settlements far in advance of the main stream of immigration: after the courage and experience of Mr. and Mrs.
Wall, when the mornin' of town-meetin' came, that critter wus so awful clever that nothin' to do but what he must help Josiah do the chores. And amongst other chores Josiah had to do that mornin', wus to carry home a plow that belonged to old Dagget.
Dagget immediately stripped, "There, now I have thrown off my protection." They fought but the spiritual bruiser proved too hard for the injured quaker. Among the rectors we sometimes behold a magistrate; at others, those who for misconduct ought to have been taken before one. The rectory, in the King's books, was valued, in 1291, at 5l. per annum; and, in 1536, at 19l. 3s. 6d.
How do you do? When did you git here? You didn't lay out to come when we started." "No," sez Selinda; "you know jest how it wuz, you know we had his folks to take care on, and Father Dagget wuz so helpless that we had to lift him round. And we shouldn't been able to git here at all, only Father had a severe fall out o' bed one night in the dead of night.
