Also about this time, or previously, the house situated south of Indian Hill, and occupied by Charles Prescott, when the map in Mr. Butler's History was made, was an inn. There was a tavern kept from the year 1812 to 1818 by a Mr. Gerrish's house, near the Unitarian church in the village. It was originally the house of John Capell, who owned the sawmill and gristmill in the immediate neighborhood.
She went through the bureau that held her own childish things once more, but found them all too large for Idella, and too hopelessly antiquated. She said to herself that on this point at least she must be a law to herself. She went down to see Mrs. Bolton. "Isn't there some place in the village where they have children's ready-made clothes for sale?" she asked. "Mr. Gerrish's," said Mrs.
She answered hastily, and began to ask them about their families. Mrs. Wilmington, who had no children, and Mrs. Putney, who had one, spoke of Mrs. Gerrish's large family. She had four children, and she refused the praises of her friends for them, though she celebrated them herself. "You ought to have seen the two little girls that Ellen lost, Annie," she said.
"I presume he felt the cap fit. But if it hadn't b'en one thing, 'twould b'en another. Mr. Peck was bound to roil the brook for Mr. Gerrish's drinkin', wherever he stood, up stream or down." "Yes. He is a wolf! A wolf in sheep's clothing," said Annie excitedly. "I d'know as you can call him a wolf, exactly," returned Mrs. Bolton dryly. "He's got his good points, I presume." Annie was astounded.
Bolton, Annie demanded, "What do you think of Mr. Gerrish's scandalous behaviour?" Mrs. Bolton gave herself time to put a stick of wood into the stove, and to punch it with the stove-lid handle before answering. "I don't know as it's anything more than I expected." Annie went on: "It was shameful! Do you suppose he really thought Mr. Peck was referring to him in his sermon?"
"Wait I'll go with you, Putney," said the doctor. Mrs. Munger rose, and Annie with her. "We must go too," she said. "We've taken up Mr. Gerrish's time most unconscionably," and now Mr. Gerrish did not urge her to remain. "Well, good-bye," said Mrs. Gerrish, with a genteel prolongation of the last syllable. Mr.
That importance must excuse if anything can excuse the apparent want of taste, of humanity, of decency, in proposing the inquiry at a meeting over which the person chiefly concerned would naturally preside, unless he were warned to absent himself. Nobody cares for the contemptible point, the wholly insignificant question, whether allusion to Mr. Gerrish's variety store was intended or not.
You know them?" "Oh yes; they were old girl friends." "Then you know why I go to Mrs. Gerrish's first. She'll care a great deal, and Mrs. Wilmington won't care at all. She's a delicious creature, Mrs. Wilmington don't you think? That large, indolent nature; Mr. Brandreth says she makes him think of 'the land in which it seemed always afternoon."
"I took my gold ring that Aunt Comfort gave me for her name and I wore it to school, and Miss Tabitha pinned it in my pocket, and I lost it. And Matilda she gave me the gold dollar her Uncle Jared gave her to buy me another, and we walked a mile and a half apiece to Bolton, to buy it in Gerrish's, and I couldn't; and I was afraid something had happened to mother; and I'm sorry."
We discover the Judge craftily and slyly inquiring whether his daughter Mary's lover-apparent had previously courted another Boston maid; we see him conferring with lover Gerrish's father; and after a letter from the latter we see the lover "at Super and drank to Mary in the third place."
