Whereby the notion came to me that, as he'd come from Botusfieming those bein' his last words back to Botusfleming he should go, an' on that we cooked up a plan. Bill Adams being on duty in the sick-bay, there wasn' no difficulty in sewin' up a dummy in Eli's place; an' the dummy, sir, nex' day we dooly committed to the deep, Cap'n Crang hisself readin' the service.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying: "Glory to God in the highest, On earth peace, good will toward men." Ezra, strengthened by Eli's arm which did not waver, ventured to open his eyes. He saw a brilliant whiteness, clear as crystal, that seemed to light the world from end to end.
Despite the rain, the fire burned freely, and presently the interior of Eli's lean-to was warm and comfortable. He now removed his rain-soaked jacket and moleskin trousers and suspended them from the ridge-pole, where they would receive the benefit of the heat and gradually dry. Stripped to his underclothing, Eli crouched before the fire beneath the front of the shelter.
"No more honest skipper in the trade than Eli," said the clerk. "I would lippen to Eli's word ay, if it was the Chevalier, or Appin himsel'," he added. "And it was him that brought the doctor, wasna't?" asked the master. "He was the very man," said the clerk. "And I think he took the doctor back?" says Stewart. "Ay, with his sporran full!" cried Robin. "And Eli kennt of that!"
Thus sinned Ishmael, Esau, Eli's sons, Absalom and Judas, they had good company, good counsels, and a good life set before them by their godly acquaintance, but they sinned against all, and their judgment was the greater. Q. Are sins thus heightened, distinguished from others by any special name? Q. Are there any other things that can make little sins great ones?
"Ay, lass; and as for thine enemies, I have given them a dig. For yon friar is friendly to Gerard, and he is gone to Eli's house, methinks. For I told him where to find Gerard's enemies and thine, and wow but he will give them their lesson. If ever a man was mad with rage, its yon. He turned black and white, and parted like a stone from a sling.
His immediate sensation as he heard Indian Jake's voice was one of thankfulness that, after all, there was no stain of murder on his soul. Even yet he had no doubt Indian Jake was wounded. He had taken deadly aim, and he could not understand how any escape could have been possible. "Drop that gun!" Indian Jake repeated. "I won't count. I'll shoot." Eli's brain at last grasped the situation.
Sybrandt. "Which will get to him first?" "Who can tell?" About two months before this scene in Eli's home, the natives of a little' maritime place between Naples and Rome might be seen flocking to the sea beach, with eyes cast seaward at a ship, that laboured against a stiff gale blowing dead on the shore.
Cuthbert was delighted when he heard the Canadian lad's voice, for he realized that it was one of rare sweetness as well as power; and being fond of singing, and knowing scores of college songs, he promised himself he would in good time teach them to Owen, for their voices would blend admirably, while Eli's had a certain harshness about it that rather swamped his own baritone.
When Captain Eli's wife was living she was his household manager. But Captain Cephas had never had a woman in his house, except during the first few months of his occupancy, when certain female neighbors came in occasionally to attend to little matters of cleaning which, according to popular notions, properly belong to the sphere of woman. But Captain Cephas soon put an end to this sort of thing.
