Hereupon our English mate, named Robert, who also was a Quaker, became captain in the place of the other, and our Dutch mate, or rather New Netherland mate, named Evert van Duike for he was a New Netherlander born, and his parents and relations were still there, though he had married at Amsterdam and had lived there a long time, but was now taking his wife and children with him to New Netherland became mate in place of the other.
"Evert has reasoned and talked so much to my father and mother," continued the fiancée, blushing, "that they have thought we had better be married at once. Do you know, Maud, that it has been settled this evening, that the ceremony is to take place to-morrow!" "This is sudden, indeed, Beulah! Why have they determined on so unexpected a thing?" "It is all owing to the state of the country.
But I am very sure of the style of the architecture, and of the consecration of the church. The Surrender of a Cockney Evert man, though he were born in the very belfry of Bow and spent his infancy climbing among chimneys, has waiting for him somewhere a country house which he has never seen; but which was built for him in the very shape of his soul.
"Well, dear, many are happy that never marry many women are happier than those that do. Evert has a kind, manly, affectionate heart, and I know will do all he can to prevent my regretting home; but we can never have more than one mother, Maud!" Maud did not answer, though she looked surprised that Beulah should say this to her.
Still, it was now rarely absent from her mind; the love she bore the captain and his wife, and Beulah, and little Evert, coming to her heart through a more insidious and possibly tenderer tie, than that of purely filial or sisterly affection.
But the pear was not yet ripe, and all that could now be done was to clear the way a little for something important in future. In the meantime, Evert Beekman having secured his gentle and true- hearted wife, began, though with a heavy heart, to bethink him of his great political duties.
If there were a prayer to confound parliament and its counsels, I should be very apt to join in it cordially; but I am not yet ready to throw aside king, queen, princes and princesses, all in a lump, on account of a few taxes, and a tittle tea." "I am sorry to hear this from you, sir," answered Evert.
"But, he promised me faithfully to use Evert's name, did he ever fall into American hands" resumed Beulah, earnestly "and Evert has said, again and again, that my brother could never be his enemy." "Heaven help us all, dear child!" answered the captain, kissing his daughter "It is, indeed, a cruel war, when such aids are to be called in for our protection.
The lawn was covered with the fugitives as the captain reached it, while a few armed men were already coming out of the court-yard. Gesticulating as if giving orders, the captain dashed through them all, without drawing the rein, and disappeared in the court. A minute later, he re-issued, bearing his arms, followed by his wife and Beulah, the latter pressing little Evert to her bosom.
We saw much of him, too, last winter, in town." "Maud, you wrote me nothing of all this! Are visiters of this sort so very common that you do not speak of them in your letters?" "Did I not? Beulah will scarce pardon me for that. She thinks Mr. Evert Beekman more worthy of a place in a letter, than I do, perhaps."
