Bentley. I saw that gentleman, and he assured me he knew that young Holmes was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Holmes, for Dr. Bentley told me that he signed young Greg's birth certificate. That was proof enough, but I also saw Mr. and Mrs. Holmes, a few minutes ago. The missing son of the wealthy man in question had two other marks on his body that would identify him."
Nobody now is ever likely to read the Age of Reason for instruction or amusement. Who now reads even Mr. Greg's Creed of Christendom, which is in effect, though not in substance, the same kind of book? Paine was a coarse writer, without refinement of nature, and he used brutal expressions and hurled his vulgar words about in a manner certain to displease.
The pulling on the cord gave Greg's right hand a sharp yank, awakening the innocent plebe. But Mr. Butler, having swiftly discovered the cord, and having ascertained in what direction it ran, made a dive into the tent just in time to see Greg sitting up on his mattress, holding the cord. "So, mister," gruffed the yearling, "is this the way you amuse yourself late at night?"
Greg's mother now came out and joined the ladies on the porch. A moment or two later Mr. Prescott and Mr. Holmes stepped out and grasped their sons' hands. "We haven't a heap of time left if we want to catch the down-river steamboat," suggested Dick, with a glance at his watch. So this happy little home party entered the bus, and the drive to the dock began.
He threw himself into the memorable battle of the Reform Bill of 1832 with characteristic spirit and energy. His ideal, like that of most literary thinkers on politics, was an aristocracy, not of caste, but of education, virtue, and public spirit. It was the old dream of lofty minds from Plato down to Turgot. Every page of Greg's political writing is coloured by this attractive vision.
In the silence of the lounge they could hear their own breathing, and outside a thousand tiny sounds of the ship's activity were audible. But now they had attention only for the odd-shaped piece of metal in Greg's hand, and for the hole that gaped in the wall. "You think that this was what Dad found?" Greg said. "The Big Strike he told Johnny about?" "It must be part of it," Tom said.
That evening the class was to meet, for the last time as a whole, at one of the theaters in New York. And the late cadets would sit together, solidly, as a class. Friends of graduates who wished would attend the theater, though in seats away from the class. Dick and Greg's relatives and friends were all to attend. More, they were to stop at the same hotel.
You can be pawing over it while we're reading the proper one." But I said, "Not so fast," and "Let's hear it all, one at a time." So I took Greg's and read it aloud, because he takes such an everlasting time over handwriting and this writing was rather queer and hard to read.
I'll need some time, though." "How much?" "Ten, fifteen minutes." There was an edge to Greg's voice. "What are you planning?" "I can't tell you, they're listening in. But if it works...." "Look, don't do anything stupid." "I can't hear you," Tom said. "You try to hold them for fifteen minutes ... and don't worry. Take care of yourself." Tom snapped off the speaker and moved to the hatchway.
Greg would have sought the directors of national affairs. If ever there was a statesman who approached the fulfilment of Mr. Greg's conditions, it was Guizot.
