They will tell ye news o' your tutor and guardian, him that ye daur speak to me aboot committing the puir innocent bairns to what neither you nor a' the law in your black bag will ever tak' frae under the roof-tree o' Mary Lyon. Here, this way, lads dinna be blate! Step ben!" And so, without a shadow of blateness, there stepped "ben" Tom and Eben and Rob.
Although Eben Dudley was the principal and the efficient military man in this little expedition from the valley, he was accompanied by those whose authority was predominant in all matters that did not strictly appertain to the executive portion of the duty.
As she turned, she gave a cry, and dropped her flowers: there sat Dr. Eben, in a big arm-chair, by the doorway. He sprang to pick up the flowers. Hetty looked at him without speaking. "I was waiting here to see you, Miss Gunn," he said, as he gave back the flowers.
Now she was the wife of Eben Tollman, the bigot whose narrowness would cramp her life into a dreary torture. His imagination eddied in bewildered wretchedness about that whirlpool of thought, bringing transient impulses of madness and self-destruction.
Quite an, extensive ice business is done at Saugus by Solon V. Edmunds and Stephen Stackpole. A few years ago Eben Edmunds shipped by the Eastern Railroad some 1,200 tons to Gloucester, but the shrinkage and wastage of the ice by delays on the train did not render it a profitable operation. The strawberry culture has recently become quite a feature in the producing industry of Saugus.
One minute it was against his shirt for sticking to his wet back; another time it was at Aleck for getting on so fast with his dressing consequent upon his being drier; and then he began to abuse Eben Megg. "A beast; that's what he is. It's just as bad as murdering us with a knife or chopper, that it is."
As the first of these lights fell on Hetty's face, Dr. Eben started to see how white it was. Involuntarily he put his arm around her; and exclaimed "How pale you are, my poor Hetty! you are all worn out;" and, half supporting her with his arm, he laid his free hand gently on her hair. Hetty was very tired; very cold; half asleep, and half frightened.
He seems a bluff, genial fellow, and though I don't expect to enjoy his companionship much, I hope to derive some benefit from it." "By the way, Mr. Melville, I met an old acquaintance while I was out walking," said Herbert. "Indeed!" "Eben Graham." "How did he look prosperous?" "Hardly he was wheeling a barrow of vegetables." "Did you speak with him?" "Yes; he wanted to borrow money."
The strain was terrible, and the rail over which it passed snapped like matchwood. It creaked, as it bit into the deal below, and at times Eben imagined he could see the strands parting. Fortunately it was a new rope and held firm as the tug battled its way against that racing current. Inch by inch it moved, dragging its heavy, helpless burden from the jaws of destruction.
"Old man named Eben Joyce was just run over. They carried him into my house and he sent me to look for you." "How did you come to recognize me in the street?" demanded Billy, feeling a strong distrust of the stranger, who had little rat-like eyes and a furtive manner.
