"How soon do you think you can do something for me?" asked Gooding. "I don't know. If not disappointed, however, I think I can spare you a little in a couple of months." "My rent is due on the first of October. If you can let me have, say fifty dollars, then, it will be a great accommodation." "I will see. If in my power, you shall certainly have at least that amount."
You got only a few dollars more than the men, and you did not rank with the officers; you took your meals alone, and in every thing you belonged by yourself. The men did not respect you, and sometimes the captain abused you awfully before the passengers. The hardest captain that Jonathan Tinker ever sailed with was Captain Gooding of the Cape.
We captured great numbers of prisoners, and sent them to the rear without guards, as we deemed the pursuit of the enemy of greater importance.... "I cannot give too much praise to Captain Powers, Company "H," Lieutenant Smith, Company "K," Lieutenant Gooding, Company "A," and Second Lieutenant Moser, Company "G," for their assistance, and for the gallant manner in which they encouraged their men up the side of the mountain, and charging the enemy's works right up to the muzzles of their guns."
Gooding, the wife of one of the captains; Mrs. Nathan Clark, the wife of the commissary; and little Charlotte Ouisconsin Clark, who had been born scarcely an hour after the regiment reached Fort Crawford. The knowledge that they were upon the last stage of their journey caused a feeling of cheerfulness among the soldiers, and the first day they proceeded a distance of eighteen miles.
"Very," replied Gooding, with a serious face, and more serious tone of voice. "Nothing at all doing. I never saw business so flat in my life." "Flat enough." Another pause. "Ahem! Mr. Jenkins," began Gooding, after a few moments, "do you think you can do any thing for me to-day?" "If there is any thing I can do for you, it shall be done with pleasure," said Jenkins, in a cheerful way.
I must look out for one, for our old rain-hogshead is about tumbling to pieces." From rain-barrels the conversation turned upon business, and at length Gooding brought up the old story, and urged the settlement of his claim as a matter of charity. "You don't know how much I need it," he said. "Necessity alone compels me to press the claim upon your attention."
Accordingly at midnight Emory marched in orderly retreat, with all his material intact, and at eight o'clock the next morning, the 9th of April, went into bivouac at Pleasant Hill, where A. J. Smith was found near his resting-place of the night before, and with him Gooding.
She lifted the little rose-jar for one more whiff of its faint, sweet fragrance, and said, slowly, as she closed it again, "And as long as I live the thought of her will help to take the sting out of all my thorns." With a sigh of relief Alida Gooding saw the dentist put away his instruments.
A burnt child, you know, dreads the fire." "But you know me well enough to know that I never would have pressed the claim against you." "Friend Gooding, I have seen enough of the world to satisfy me that we don't know any one.
W. F. Gooding, our Goderich store-keeper, who was one of the party, which consisted of nine persons, including myself. All things being in readiness, Mr. Fullarton was dubbed Captain for the occasion. At an early hour one fine sunny morning in June, we stood out of the harbour with a light breeze, having rigged up two blankets as sprit-sails.
