Davidson received with great good humour, only saying, while he distinguished the author by the name applied to him in the country, where his own is so common "that the Sheriff had not written about him mair than about other folk, but only about his dogs."
Whereupon the Davidson of that day, being, like all his race, short in stature, but mighty in strength, first beat the champion player one Sabbath morning at his own game to tame an unholy pride, and then thrashed him with his fist to do good to his soul.
I got her things together, tied them up in my own shawl, and threw them into the compound out of a back window. I did it." "That woman that you would say hadn't the pluck to lift her little finger!" marvelled Davidson in his quiet, slightly panting voice. "What do you think of that?" I thought she must have had some interest of her own to serve.
Astor to the Astor home on Fifth Avenue. The Waldorf-Astoria had sent over eight limousine car to convey to the hotel these survivors: Mrs. Mark Fortune and three daughters, Mrs. Lucien P. Smith, Mrs. J. Stewart White, Mrs. Thornton Davidson, Mrs. George C. Douglass, Mrs. George D. Widener and maid, Mrs. George Wick, Miss Bonnell, Miss E. Ryerson, Mrs. Susan P. Ryerson, Mrs.
He was small and poor, of humble origin, without influential connections, without worldly advantages of any kind, but when mind was pitched against mind, he felt second to none except in mathematics, where he could compete neither with Davidson, the Jewish banker's son who was primus, or with that gawky, cumbersome Anderson whose dullness in every other respect always kept him near the bottom of the class.
Davidson and Israel Perley the latter being in Mr. Davidson's employ. A couple of letters of the period will serve to show how the rivals regarded one another. Samuel Peabody writes as follows: Maugerville, 2nd Nov'r, 1781. "Messrs. Hazen & White, Merchants at Fort Howe, "Gentlemen, Since I wrote to you by John Hart, giving you account of the badness of the Pine Lumber back of St.
Davidson, whom I placed above you has at no time been your superior in anything but self-control. But it was just your what I have sometimes called your fuzzy-wuzziness, that made me afraid of placing you where you rightly belonged, at the head of the class. It is my belief that you have in you greater gifts than any other boy in this class, but I am not yet sure of what you will do with them.
Miss Davidson went to bed in a huff; and Major Freeze was temporarily inclined to think that her home-trip had impaired his good lady's amiability of character. Martell did turn up at dinner-time. But he was hardly a man at any time to create much of an impression, and on this occasion he appeared to exceptional disadvantage.
This was sufficient warning to the rest, and all now awake stood sullenly and silently staring hard at their captors who had come into full view. "Get over there, and be quick about it," Davidson ordered, motioning to the left. The rebels at once obeyed, and standing huddled together, awaited further developments. Most of the men had no heart for any opposition, even if they had the opportunity.
Gräberg says Noun means the "river of eels," Davidson derives the name from a Portuguese queen called Nounah; but his editor says the name is properly Nul, was so written when the Arabs possessed Portugal, and that Queen Nunah is a modern invention. Whatever may have been Mr. Davidson's faults, I scarcely doubt that the first impressions of Mr. Consul-General Hay were correct.
