"But I 'fraid de poor man freeze," said the compassionate General. "Never fear, 'twon't hurt him. It will do him good to freeze some of the ugliness out of him. Besides it's best to wait awhile. Perhaps, somebody coming along will help him out, and that will save you the trouble." "Me! Missa Gladding! what hab I to do wid it? You put him dere, and you is de one to pull him out."
"Dat is too little;" grumbled Primus. "And who else you got to help you?" "Why, hain't two enough? I might as well give up the job at once, and done with it, if I'm to pay out all the fees." "One more will make all sure," said Primus, who, prudent general that he was, thought no odds could be too great against an enemy. "S'pose I speak to Missa Gladding to insist?" "Tom Gladding be hung.
"All things are reduced to a quiet calm," said Buckhurst, "ready to receive my Lord of Leicester and his authority, whenever he cometh." The quarrel of Hohenlo with Sir Edward Norris had been, by the exertions of Buckhurst, amicably arranged: the Count became an intimate friend of Sir John, "to the gladding of all such as wished well to, the country;" but he nourished a deadly hatred to the Earl.
The spectators, seeing the direction he was taking, had run down, many of them, to the place, and were waiting to receive them. "I vow," said our friend, Tom Gladding, who was among the first to welcome Holden, "if it ain't little Jim Davenport. Why, Jim, you come pretty nigh gitting a ducking."
They parted with the understanding that the General was to see Gladding and induce him to take part in the enterprise, and that the three would meet at a certain place in the evening, the constable being careful to repeat that he couldn't afford more than fifty cents for any assistance that might be rendered.
"Silence!" cried the Justice. "Mister Gladding, I must say, I think such language very improper; and I hope, if you expect to remain here, you will stop it." "Squire," said Gladding, "he begun it; I'll leave it to the company, if he didn't first call me a squirrel." "Silence!" reiterated the Justice; "we must have order; and, if you don't choose to observe order, you must leave the room."
And now they heard the bark of a dog, and a man's voice ordering him to stop his noise. "Keep still, Tige!" said the voice. "What's the use of making such a racket? I can't hear myself think. I say stop your noise! shut up!" "It is Tom Gladding, whom Perkins hired to make the clearing, one of the best wood-choppers in the country. It is wonderful with what dexterity he wields an axe."
Legend of Sleepy Hollow It was on the village wharf that the coadjutors met. Basset, as he contemplated the martial bearing of the General and the burly form of Gladding, felt comforted. The clouds that all day long had lowered above his mental horizon parted, and patches of blue sky began to appear.
"I thought he'd got enough; but, he's as parvarse as the nine lives of a cat. Why, there was the whack at the island, and, then, the jam on the ice, and, last, the scare in the snowstorm; a fellow's unreasonable to want more, and, yet, the darn'd crittur's holding out his platter." "What you want to put in, Missa Gladding?" "Some of the same mess.
"Sam Gladding." "Is the York boat in? Nobody told me." "No, I walked around the lake." Mahooley looked him over from his worn-out moccasins to his bare head. "Well, you didn't bring much with you," he observed. Sam frowned to hide his rising blushes. He offered the rabbit-skin robe to create a diversion. "Musq'oosis sent it, eh?" said Mahooley. "Put it on the counter."
