After Drake had despatched telegrams and been bombarded by interviewers, he led the way back to the coach on the Hill, and the company prepared for their return. The sun had now gone, a thick veil of stagnant clouds had gathered over it, the sky looked sulky, and Glory's head tad begun to ache between the eyes.
Did he send you to fetch me?" "He didn't speak," said Aggie. "Is he unconscious?" "Yes." "I'll go with you at once." Hurrying across the streets by Glory's side, Aggie apologized for her room again. "I down't live thet wy now, you know," she said. "It may seem strange to you, but while my little boy was alive I couldn't go into the streets to save my life I couldn't do it.
Cease then vain man to boast; for this is true, Thy brightest glory's as the morning dew, Which disappears when first the rising sun Displays his beams above the horizon. See here the state of man as in a glass, And how the fashion of this world doth pass. Some in a tavern spend the longest day, While others hawk and hunt the time away.
It would not have been better in one of the courts of heaven, where the walls are set with rows of the King of Glory's amethysts and milk-white pearls, than there, eating his supper in that little room. As they sat in silence there was a knock at the door. When it was opened the small woolly head of a little nigger showed itself.
The chance of going "back" to the city whose very paving stones now seemed dear to her did, for an instant, stagger Glory's decision. But only for an instant. Bonny Angel was still the guide. It was Bonny Angel who had brought them to this further shore where, beyond this great, noisy ferry-house were those green terraces and waving trees.
My grandfather says 'giff-gaff makes good friends, an' 'one kind turn 'serves another. He knows a lot, grandpa does; an' me an' him both thanks you, Meg-Laundress you darlin'!" Away around the big neck of the woman at the tub went Glory's slender arms, and when the patient toiler released herself from this inconvenient embrace, there was something besides soapsuds glistening on her hot cheek.
Of all the wonderful events in his wonderful history, is there one more astonishing than this "That Heaven's high Majesty his court should keep In a clay cottage, by each blast controll'd, That Glory's self should serve our hopes and fears, And free Eternity submit to years?" What a noble triumph was this, over the cruel and unjust prejudices of mankind!
He struggled for breath, and fought to tear away the dimpled arms. The music of Glory's voice rose into unspeakable tumult, the warm pressure of Precious' arms rendered him powerless. He fell insensible, and two days later they found him, dead." There was a brief eloquent silence when Nevius finished his story. The girls shivered. "A true story?" queried David, smiling.
In our Glory's Pantheon Thy name will shine, a name immortal won By deeds immortal! In our heart's deep heart Thy statued fame, that never shall depart, Shall tower, the loftier as Time fleets, and show How Heaven can sometimes plant its Titans here below."
"A prohibitive price for you." said Drake. "Nonsense! I'm going to do a flutter on my own, you know, and plunge against you." It was explained to her that only bookmakers bet against horses, but the gentleman with the beard volunteered to reverse positions, and take Glory's ten to one against Ellan Vannin. "In what?" "Oh h'm in thick 'uns, of course."
