'T a'n't so much out o' kindness to us as it is out o' spite to the Gingerfords, that the house is to be moved instid o' tore down." "That's the glory of the Lord! Even the wrath of man shall praise Him!" utters the old grandmother, devoutly. "Won't it be jimmy?" crows Joe. "He's a jolly ole brick, that Frisbie! I'm a-gunter set straddle on the ridge-pole, an' carry a flag. Hooray!"
Then there was Stephen standing by, having, no doubt, been sent by his master to observe the chagrin of the Gingerfords, and to bring back the report thereof; who, when he heard the Judge's words, looked surprised and abashed, and presently stole away, himself discomfited. "I pray the Lord," said Mr. Williams, humbly and heartily, "you won't consider us troublesome neighbors."
The Judge had sought an early opportunity to converse with him on the subject. "A negro's cow," said he, "is as good as anybody's cow; and I consider Mr. Williams as good a man as you are." The white coachman couldn't stand that; and the result was that the Gingerfords had a black coachman in a few days. The situation was offered to Mr. Williams, and very glad he was to accept it.
