Elbridge True's drove into the yard. I guess he's got it in mind to talk it over about them cows. I don't want to lose the chance." "All right," answered Amelia. She took her seat again, while Enoch's footsteps went briskly out through the shed. With the clanging of the door, she felt secure.
Northwick's man met him at the station with the cutter. The train was a little late, and Elbridge was a little early; after a few moments of formal waiting, he began to walk the clipped horses up and down the street.
But it was a relief to them, especially to Suzette, who held the purse, when the changes began to make themselves, and their costly establishment fell away, through the discontent and anxiety of this servant and that, till none were left but Elbridge Newton and his wife.
Putney, or shall I go? I'm not afraid to be seen, if you don't like to go. I can hold up my head before the whole world, now I know what we ought to do, and we're going to do it; but if we kept this place after that letter, I couldn't even look you in the face again." She continued to Adeline's silence, "Why, we needn't either of us go! I can get Elbridge to go." She made as if to leave the room.
Elbridge suggested. "Yes," said Northwick.

The closing of the door behind Northwick roused a little black figure drooping forward on the benching in one corner. It was the drunken lawyer.
"What's fetched y' daown here so all-fired airly?" "You're a darned pooty lot daown here, you be!" Abel answered.

It is not likely, considering the circumstances, and the known character of the members of Congress, among whom may be mentioned John Hancock, Samuel Adams, Benjamin Rush, Robert Morris, Benjamin Harrison, Elbridge Gerry, John Witherspoon, a descendant of John Knox, the Scottish Reformer, Charles Carroll, and Samuel Huntington, all distinguished for coolness, probity, and patriotism, that the immortal document can contain one thought or word unworthy its sacred associations, and the character of the American people!
Elbridge stopped a minute to think, after Abel had finished. "Who's took care o' them things that was on the hoss?" he said, gravely. "Waal, Langden, he seemed to kin 'o' think I'd ought to have 'em, 'n' the Squire; he did n' seem to have no 'bjection; 'n' so, waal, I calc'late I sh'll jes' holt on to 'em myself; they a'n't good f 'r much, but they're cur'ous t' keep t' look at."
