His army overcoat was rent here and there beyond the salvation which lay in his wife's patient mending, and his old fur cap showed the skin in moth-eaten patches; yet Heman thought, with a wondering protest, how young he looked, how free from care. "Hullo, Heman!" called Brad. "How are ye?" responded Heman, with a cordiality Brad never failed to elicit from his brother man.
But there generally comes a time when that kind of a lady-killer gets hit himself. Lots of females have been willin' to marry Heman, but he's never given 'em the chance. About so fur he'll go and then shy off." "How about that widow woman over to Bayport?" "Well, I did think he was goin' to cast anchor there, but he ain't, up to now.
His wisdom, the Scriptures testify, was greater than the wisdom of Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Calcol, and Darda, the three sons of Mahol. This means that he was wiser than Abraham, Moses, Joseph, and the generation of the desert. He excelled even Adam. His proverbs which have come down to us are barely eight hundred in number.
Captain Obed's forehead puckered. "That's just it, John," he said. "There is a lawyer here now. Good deal of a lawyer, too if you ask HIM. Name's Heman Daniels. You used to know him as a boy, didn't you?" Kendrick nodded assent. "I think I did," he said. "Yes, I remember him. He was one of the big boys when I was a little one, and he used to bully us small chaps." "That's the feller.
You used to know him when you was a boy, but but er Mr. Atkins, this is Captain Cyrus Whittaker. Cy, this is Congressman Atkins. You've heard us speak of him." The great man started. "Is it possible!" he exclaimed. "Is it possible that this is really my old playmate Cyrus Whittaker?" "Yup," replied the captain calmly. "How are you, Heman? Fatter'n you used to be, ain't you?
But when the arrangement was concluded Thankful could not help feeling that she had taken advantage of an unworldly innocence. Captain Obed Bangs, when she told him, reassured her. "Don't worry, ma'am," he said. "I wouldn't lay awake nights fearin' I'd got ahead of Heman Daniels much.
Yea, a soul may not only suppose and conclude itself in nature, while it is in a state of grace, but further, may be filled with terror and apprehensions of God's wrath and indignation; and that in such a measure, as that thereby it may be as a distracted person, as we see it was with Heman, Psalm lxxxviii. 15, who said, "while I suffer thy terror, I am distracted."
Good morning." He walked briskly down the hill. The trio gazed after him. "Well," sighed Mr. Tidditt. "That's settled. And it's a comfort to know 'tis settled. Still I did kind of want Phoebe Dawes; but of course Heman knows best." "Course he knows best!" snapped Bailey. "Ain't he the biggest gun in this county, pretty nigh? I'd like to know who is if he ain't.
Some one else was there also, some one who hurriedly slipped back into the crowd as the owner of the Cy Whittaker place came up the path between the hedges. Mr. Atkins shook the captain's hand and then, turning toward the people, held up his own for silence. To all outward appearance, he was still the great Heman, our district idol, philanthropist, and leader.
Heman was the last to arrive. He made a long job of covering the horse, inside the shed, resolved that nothing should tempt him to face the general mirth at the Widder's entrance. For he could not deceive himself as to the world's amused estimate of her guardianship and his submission.
