Eliphalet Pemberton Father Pemberton as brother ministers called him, Priest Pemberton as he was commonly styled by the country people would have seemed very old, if the medical patriarch of the village had not been so much older.
Eliphalet was about to speak. "One moment, sir," cried the Colonel, standing up and towering to his full height. "Law or no law, you shall have the money and interest, or your security, which is this business. I need not tell you, sir, that my word is sacred, and binding forever upon me and mine." "I'm not afraid, Colonel," answered Mr. Hopper, with a feeble attempt at geniality.
George Hanbury, Guy Rossiter, Algernon Cartwright, Eliphalet Hopper Dwyer familiarly known as "Hoppy" and other young gentlemen whose names are now but memories, each had his brief day of triumph. Arrayed like Solomon in wonderful clothes from the mysterious and luxurious East, they returned at Christmas-tide and Easter from college to break lances over Honora.
It was a fat hand. Suavity was come upon it like a new glove and changed the man. He was no longer cringing. Now he had poise, such poise as we in these days are accustomed to see in leather and mahogany offices. The Colonel glared at him uncomfortably. "I will take up those notes myself, sir." "You!" cried the Colonel, incredulously, "You?" We must do Eliphalet justice.

The overseer had laughed coarsely. "What, skeered on 'em?" said he.
When Eliphalet Duncan was about twenty he lost both of his parents. His father left him with enough money to give him a start, and a strong feeling of pride in his Scotch birth; you see there was a title in the family in Scotland, and although Eliphalet's father was the younger son of a younger son, yet he always remembered, and always bade his only son to remember, that his ancestry was noble.
Cluyme, who was in dry goods himself, was as ignorant when he left Eliphalet as when he met him. But he had a greater respect than ever for the shrewdness of the business manager of Carvel & Company.
And this little old house which she left to my friend Eliphalet Duncan was haunted." "By the ghost of one of the witches, of course," interrupted Dear Jones. "Now how could it be the ghost of a witch, since the witches were all burned at the stake? You never heard of anybody who was burned having a ghost, did you?"
