He sailed with his wife and family in the brigantine "Adamante," William Macniel, master, on the twentieth day of December, 1771. Paul Guidon remained at Halifax about six weeks after he had arrived with the Godfreys. While at Halifax he was much admired by the officers of the army, and those of the navy paid him even greater attentions.
But he painted, in colors vivid as if caught from the skies of the East, the great spread of Mahometanism and the danger it menaced to Christian Europe, and drew up the Godfreys and Tancreds and Richards as a league of the Age and Necessity against the terrible progress of the sword and the Koran. "You call them madmen," cried my father; "but the frenzy of nations is the statemanship of fate!
Good- night, Colonel; good-night, Dominie Sampson; good-night, Dinmont the Downright; good-night, last of all, to the new-found representative of the Bertrams, and the Mac-Dingawaies, the Knarths, the Arths, the Godfreys, the Dennises, and the Rolands, and, last and dearest title, heir of tailzie and provision of the lands and barony of Ellangowan, under the settlement of Lewis Bertram, Esq., whose representative you are.
"My godfreys!" exclaimed Asaph, as soon as he sat down in the rocking chair and put his cap on the floor beneath it. "My godfreys, but they're havin' awful times over across, now ain't they. Killin' and fightin' and battlin' and slaughterin'! It don't seem human to me somehow." "It is human, I'm afraid," I said, with a sigh. "Altogether too human. We're a poor lot, we, humans, after all.
"Jerushy!" exclaimed the lightkeeper. "This is kind of unexpected, ain't it? What's got into her to make her so accommodatin'?" "Godfreys mighty!" was the dazed reply, "I don't know. This as fast as you can drive? Hurry up, afore she changes her mind." So it happened that Mr. Pepper was in Bayport with the rest, awaiting the stage which was bringing Trumet's latest celebrity from Sandwich.
When he did it was to announce that he must be getting toward home. No, he couldn't stay for supper. Miss Pepper went into the kitchen, and Abishai saw the visitor to the door. Ellery extended his hand and Kyan shook it with enthusiasm. "Wa'n't it fine?" he whispered. "Talk about your miracles! Godfreys mighty! Say, Mr. Ellery, don't you ever tell a soul how it really was, will you?"
But it ain't any queerer than 'Tacks'; that's what he called Hungerford." "Has this 'Monty' called here? Has he been here at the house?" "No-o, no, he hasn't. I caught a glimpse of him at the club, that time when I went there with Barney Godfreys! it's a good thing Serena didn't hear me say that with Phelps Black, I mean." "Daddy, sometime when you have an opportunity, ask Mr.
Good- night, Colonel; good-night, Dominie Sampson; good-night, Dinmont the Downright; good-night, last of all, to the new-found representative of the Bertrams, and the Mac-Dingawaies, the Knarths, the Arths, the Godfreys, the Dennises, and the Rolands, and, last and dearest title, heir of tailzie and provision of the lands and barony of Ellangowan, under the settlement of Lewis Bertram, Esq., whose representative you are.
Free! Don't talk to me about freedom! Godfreys mighty!" Ellery smothered his desire to laugh and expressed sympathy. Abishai listened in sullen silence. "Well," he said, turning to go, "I ain't goin' to stand it, if I can help it. I've been doin' some thinkin' on my own account and there's two ways of gettin' even. That Caleb critter is marryin' into our family 'cause he knows I'm well off.
"But but, by Godfreys, you're the last person I expected to see just now." "Yep, I shouldn't wonder." "Sit down, sit down. Humph! Does Azuba know you're comin'?" "No, not yet." "Well, sit down and I'll call her. She's here with us, of course." "Sartin she is. Where else would she be? I knew she was here; heard you hailin' her just as I made port at the back door. Set down?"
