And, if we hadn't, what was we goin' to do about it? Bailey, between you and me and the mizzenmast, Heman Atkins wants to get ahold of that place the worst way." "He does? He DOES? For the land sakes, ain't he got property enough already? Ain't a a palace like that enough for one man, without wantin' to buy a rattletrap like THAT?"
In the spring of 1868 he invited to meet him a council of three gentlemen, eminent in scholarship, sound of judgment, and of large experience: the Reverend George T. Day, D. D., of Dover, N.H., Professor Heman Lincoln, D.D., of Newton Seminary, the Rev.
We wouldn't want to go contrary to Heman, none of us; hey?" "Tad" Simpson was known to be deep in Congressman Atkins's confidence. The mention of the great man's name was received with reverence and nods of approval. "That's right. We mustn't do nothin' to displease Heman," was the general opinion. Captain Cy did not join the chorus. He refilled his pipe and crossed his legs. "Humph!" he grunted.
No move had been made, at least so far as anyone could learn, in the project of forcing her to sell out, and Heman Daniels declared that none would be made. "It is one thing to boast," said Mr. Daniels, "and another to make good. My ahem er professional rival is beginning to realize, I think, that he has in this case bitten off more than he can er so to speak, chew.
"Cyrus," began the Honorable Atkins, "we are here to claim " "Give me my daughter, you robber!" demanded Thomas, from his new position in the rear of the other two. "Mr. Thomas," said Heman, "please remember that I am conducting this affair. I respect the natural indignation of an outraged father, but ahem! Cyrus, we are here to claim " "Then do your claimin' inside.
It had once been said of the Widder Poll that if she could hold her tongue, the devil himself couldn't get ahead of her. But fortune had not gifted her with such endurance, and she always spoke too often and too soon. "Brad Freeman's been up here," she continued, eying Heman, as she drew out the supper-table and put up the leaves.
"Do you s'pose she tumbled, or did she put her foot through it a-purpose?" But Heman is sure to conclude the discussion with a glowing tribute to Brad Freeman, his genius and his kindliness. "I never shall forgit that o' Brad," he announces. "There wa'n't another man in the State o' New Hampshire could ha' mended it as he did. Why, you never'd know there was a brack in it!"
So Heman he writes to the board, askin' if the taxes is paid, if we've heard any reason why they ain't paid, and what we're goin' to do about it. If there's a sale for taxes he wants to be fust bidder. Then, when the place is his, he can tear down or rebuild, just as he sees fit. See?" "Yes, I see.
"Lawyers ain't in the habit of GIVIN' much, 'cordin' to all accounts. How about it, Heman?" Mr. Daniels ignored the question and the questioner. He rose to his feet. "There are SOME lawyers," he observed, crisply, "whose advice is not asked to any great extent. I I think I will join the group on the beach. It's a beautiful evening. Won't you accompany me, Miss Howes?"
He turned about, and, retracing his way, stopped at her mother's gate, left Old Gameleg, and strode into the yard. There was no light in the kitchen, and only a glimmer in the chamber above. Heman went up to the kitchen door and knocked. The chamber window opened. "Who is it?" asked Mrs. Cole. "Why, that you, Heman? Anybody sick?"
