Thus, by a vote of the town, the people were called to the Sunday sermon by beat of drum, and Eleazer Holton was elected to sound the call in consideration of one pound and ten shillings a year, the drum being hired of Ensign Field, its fortunate possessor, for the farther sum of three shillings. This was in the earlier days of Northfield.
At the time of our story that is, about the year 1820 this property had increased very greatly in value, but it was the old home of the Coopers, as Eleazer Cooper was entirely rich enough to indulge his fancy in such matters.
M. Poligny thought he would watch the performance from the ghost's box... Well, when Leopold cries, 'Let us fly! you know and Eleazer stops them and says, 'Whither go ye? ... well, M. Poligny I was watching him from the back of the next box, which was empty M. Poligny got up and walked out quite stiffly, like a statue, and before I had time to ask him, 'Whither go ye? like Eleazer, he was down the staircase, but without breaking his leg.

If poverty is offered as an excuse, he is reminded of Hillel, who though poor deprived himself of life's comforts that he might enjoy God's word. If the burdens and cares of wealth are advanced in palliation, he is reminded of Eleazer, who abandoned his lands and possessions to seek the consolation of knowledge.
Eleazer Cooper and his wife were childless, but one inmate made the great, silent, shady house bright with life. Lucinda Fairbanks, a niece of Captain Cooper's by his only sister, was a handsome, sprightly girl of eighteen or twenty, and a great favorite in the Quaker society of the city. It remains only to introduce the final and, perhaps, the most important actor of the narrative Lieut.
