There followed a flutter of polite offers and refusals, acknowledgments and disavowals, and an understanding that I would arrange it all, and that we would come to Mrs. Deering's hotel after supper and see Miss Gage about the when and the how of her coming to us." "Well, Isabel," I said, after it was all over, and Mrs.
" the breezy dome of groves, The shadows of Deering's woods," because they were in one of Longfellow's loveliest and tenderest poems; and I made an errand to the docks, for the sake of the " -black wharves and the slips, And the sea-tides tossing free, And Spanish sailors with bearded lips, And the beauty and mystery of the ships, And the magic of the sea,"
High above Zane's cry, Deering's shouts and curses, Girty's shrieks of fear and fury, above the noise of wrestling bodies and dull blows, rose a deep booming roar. It was Wetzel's awful cry of vengeance. "Shake him loose," yelled Jonathan. Baffled, he ran wildly around the wrestlers. Time and time again his gory tomahawk was raised only to be lowered. He found no opportunity to strike.
The city of Portland the poet's birthplace, "beautiful for situation," looking from its hills on the scenery he loved so well, Deering's Oaks, the many-islanded bay and far inland mountains, delectable in sunset needed this sculptured representation of her illustrious son, and may well testify her joy and gratitude at its reception, and repeat in so doing the words of the Hebrew prophet: "O man, greatly beloved! thou shalt stand in thy place."
Galloway, "let us understand each other. Have you come here to do anything there may be to do out of doors as well as in? In short, to be my clerk as heretofore?" "Of course I have, sir; until" Arthur spoke very distinctly you shall be able to suit yourself; not longer." "Then take this paper round to Deering's office, and get it signed. You will have time to do it before college."
Deering's inevitable headache had prevented her from receiving the new teacher, and how his few questions had at once revealed his interest in the little stranded, compatriot, doomed to earn a precarious living so far from her native shore.
Deering's interest in his daughter was fitful rather than consecutive; but at least he was approachable, and listened sympathetically, if a little absently, stroking his long, fair mustache, while Lizzie stated her difficulty or put in her plea for maps or copy-books.
Up and to the office, where we sat all the morning, and I laboured hard at Deering's business of his deals more than I would if I did not think to get something, though I do really believe that I did what is to the King's advantage in it, and yet, God knows, the expectation of profit will have its force and make a man the more earnest. Dined at home, and then with Mr.
The crowd swarmed out. "What's the matter?" "Who spoke?" "Deering has withdrawn in favor of Russell. Cast your votes for Russell," repeated the man, and plunged off up the road. The farmers looked at each other. "What the hell's all this?" said Smith. "Who was it?" "I don't know." "He's a liar, whoever he is," said Councill. "Where've I seen him before?" "I know it's Deering's hired man."
During the first fortnight of silence Lizzie exhausted all the ingenuities of explanation. She marveled afterward at the reasons she had found for Deering's silence: there were moments when she almost argued herself into thinking it more natural than his continuing to write.
