'More duds for Miss 'Azel! he said in displeasure, as Dingee appeared just at nightfall with a final basket. 'It's clean ridikerlous! One dress at a time ought to content any young lady. 'Now I jes' tell you what, Mas' Gotham, said Dingee, 'you ain't up to de situation. Pears like de whole countryside after my young mistis! Gotham gave a grunt in unsuccessful imitation of his master's growl.
So her young rider dismounted and looping up the heavy folds of her riding skirt as best she might, disappeared from the eyes of Dingee among the trees.
'Spect he'd like a keep-sake, too, said Dingee, laying down another card. 'Mas' May put his away mighty safe. If ever his little mistress was near being furious, I think it was then. Eyes and cheeks were in a flame. 'I left nothing uncertain last night! she said, turning upon him. 'Major Seaton knows that, if he will take the trouble to remember.
He stood aside to let the devotees put Wych Hazel into the little rockaway which was her sole present equipage; but when the last words had been said and the last man stepped back, Rollo stood at the door before Dingee had time to shut it. 'Will you give me a seat as far as Mr. Falkirk's? he said, looking in.
Falkirk that I have got into a very bad habit of forgetting that anybody else can be present! It did not exactly help on the progress of self-control, that at this point Dingee came in, bearing in both hands a lovely basket of hot-house grapes and nectarines, themselves specimens of perfection, with a long wreathing stem of wonderful white orchids laid across its other treasures.
'Will you substitute another word? said he, looking for it in the orbs so revealed. Wych Hazel turned off. 'Will you come to luncheon, sir? she said; so exactly as if she were speaking to Mr. Falkirk, that Mrs. Bywank looked up in mute amazement. But lunch was not to have much attention, nevertheless. Dingee began a raid on the housekeeper's room. It was: 'Mas' Nightingale, Missee Hazel.
'Will you write, or shall I? said Rollo, drawing out paper and pen ready on one of the tables. She glanced at him as if in momentary wonder that he should offer to write her despatch, then ran off the most summary little note, twisted it into a knot of complications, and again asked for Dingee. Rollo gently but saucily put his own fingers upon the twisted note and bore it away.
Daniel Jewett Chairman. "2ndly. Voted that the meeting house be set on the public lot in Sheffield. "3rdly.

Nathan Smith, Silvanus Plumer, Eben Briggs, Elijah Dingee and Jacob Barker, Esq., managers to remove the same."
The hill at Chickaree was steepest on the side towards the west, and down that slope an opening had been cut through the trees a sort of pathway for the sunbeams. The direct rays were gone, and only the warm sky glow brightened the hall door, when the young mistress of the place once more appeared. She stood still a moment and went back again; and then came Dingee.
'Perhaps my misleading powers may be equal to that. This one is quite good and not at all sour, she added, with a flash of her eyes which, however, went to Mrs. Bywank. 'What do you want, Dingee? Dingee advanced and laid a card on the table. 'Say I am at breakfast. I cannot be expected to keep awake all night and all day too.
