What can you tell about the early life of John C. Calhoun? Of Henry Clay? Of Daniel Webster? Why was Clay called "the Great Peacemaker"? Why were the people of South Carolina opposed to the high tariff laws of 1828 and 1832? What was Webster's idea of the Union, and in what way did it differ from Hayne's? What was the Missouri Compromise? What was the Compromise of 1850?
Hayne's crime had been, and I answered that until you could hear the whole story you could not understand the matter at all. We are both worried about Clancy. He is not himself; he is wild and imaginative when he's drinking.
Hayne's work is even less important, for he did not, like Timrod and Lanier, touch an occasional height of inspired utterance. His name is cherished in his native state of South Carolina, and in Georgia, where his last years were spent; but his poems are little read elsewhere.
She would not believe it of her sister! And yet what did Kate mean by charging Mrs. Clancy to watch him, that drunken husband? What could it mean but that she was striving to prevent Mr. Hayne's ever hearing the truth? She longed to learn more and solve the riddle once and for all. They were still earnestly talking together down in the dining-room; but she could not listen.
Hayne's innocence of the charges on which he was tried." Mr. Graham's face turned all manner of colors. He glanced at Hayne, who, still seated in the carriage, was as calmly indifferent to him as ever: he was gazing across the wide parade at the windows in officers' row. Little Kate's sobs as the soldiers were helping her father from the carriage suddenly recalled his wandering thoughts.
The pure fresh air, the perfume of the flowers, the music of the insect choir in the trees and shrubbery the very season itself seemed to forbid my reading philosophy, so I laid Fiske aside, delighted myself with a few rare bits from Paul Hayne's new volume of poems, read a few chapters of "One Summer," and finally sauntered off to bed.
He had grown morbidly sensitive to any remarks as to Hayne's having "lived down" the toils in which he had been encircled. Might he not "live down" the ensnarer?
Over he went, full of his project, listened at Hayne's like the eaves-dropping sneak he was, saw again the shadow of the graceful form and heard the silvery, happy laugh, and then it was he sent for Rayner. It was near midnight when he led his forces to the attack.
Rayner, but it seems to me this is a case where the colonel has to make some acknowledgment of Mr. Hayne's conduct " "Very good. "Well, hold on a moment," said Foster. "Hasn't the colonel had every one of us to dinner more or less frequently?" "Admitted. But what's that to do with it?" "Hasn't he invariably invited each officer to dine with him in every case where an officer has arrived?"
