I'll show you something they don't do on Cape Cod. Regards to Caro and Steve." He moved off, feeling that his invitation would have met with his mother's approval. She had announced that the country uncle was to be "cultivated." Captain Elisha's cigar had gone out. He did not attempt to relight it. "Whew!" he whistled.
Brooding from day to day over the stories she had heard of Elisha's power, and listening to her mistress's account of the failure of still another attempted cure, she exclaims with childlike confidence and earnestness, "Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! then would he recover him of his leprosy."
All she needs is to grow a little older and have the right kind of advice and and friends." "How about the boy?" Mr. Sylvester had met young Warren, and his eyes twinkled as he spoke. "Steve? Well," there was an answering twinkle in Captain Elisha's eye; "well, Steve needs to grow, too; though I wouldn't presume to tell him so.
Elisha's excessive severity toward his servant Gehazi and toward the mocking boys of Jericho did not go unpunished. He had to endure two periods of disease, and the third sickness that befell him cause his death. He is the first known to history who survived a sickness. Before him death had been the inevitable companion of disease.

We are to suppose that those children were of the party of Israel; but as those who will curse will lie, there is just as much credit to be given to this story of Elisha's two she-bears as there is to that of the Dragon of Wantley, of whom it is said: Poor children three devoured be, That could not with him grapple; And at one sup he eat them up, As a man would eat an apple.
The thought, which made all Elisha's life bright with the light of God's presence, which filled his ear with the unremitting voice of a Divine Law, which swayed and bowed his will to joyful obedience, chilled and deadened his desires for all earthly rewards. 'I am not thy servant. I am God's servant. It is not your business to pay my wages.
I remember a man who picked up sticks on Sunday he was stoned dead; and Elisha's servant was made a leper, and some children were killed by a bear, and a prophet by a lion, and Annas and Sophia were struck dead. All of them were punished 'most severely, weren't they? If you forgave me a little bit, and left out the 'most severely, it would make it easier, I expect."
