Williams looked grave; for they were, actually, human! and I suppose they didn't like to be jeered at, and called a swarm of niggers, any more than you or I would. So the journey was accomplished; and the stupendous joke of Frisbie's was achieved. Conceive Mrs. Gingerford's wonder, when she beheld the ark approaching!
Oh, mammy! they're gunter snake th' ole house through the village to-morrer, an' we're all gunter have a ride! free gratis for nothin'! 'thout payin' for 't neither! A'n't we, Bill?" Mrs. Williams sits right down, overcome by the surprise. "Now I want to know if that 'ere 's so!" "That's what't looks like now," says Mr. Williams. "We're goin' to be sot opposite Mr. Gingerford's."
His devotion to his new friends was so sincere, and so simply expressed, that the robust, well-fed man was almost touched by it. "I vow, it's a queer case, Stephen! What do you think of it?" "I think" said the joker. "What do you think? Out with it!" "You own that vacant lot opposite Gingerford's?" "Yes; what of that?"
It was Gingerford's practice to speak well of everybody with whom he had any personal relations, and especially well of his enemies; because, as he used to say to his son, evil words commonly do more harm to him who utters them than to those they are designed to injure, while fair and good words are easily spoken, and are the praise of their author, if of nobody else: for, if the subject of them is a bad man, they will not be accepted as literally true by any one that knows him, but, on the contrary, they will be set down to the credit of your good-nature, or who knows but they may become coals of fire upon the head of your enemy, and convert him into a friend?
Flush and confusion are in the rich man's face. He turns up an uneasy glance at Adsly's men, already on the roof; then coughs, and says to Stephen, "This is interesting!" "Very," says Stephen. "Don't you remember, I was going to make some provision for this fellow, I'd have seen him safe in the almshouse, if nothing more, but you suggested Gingerford's."
