"'T will come all the surer that it comes tardily. 'Slow and sure doth make secure, as ye'll dearly learn. We'll soon see how debtors who won't pay either principal or interest like the law!" Hennion chuckled again. "Yer see, squire," he said, "it don't seem ter me ter be my interest ter pay principal, nor my principle ter pay interest.
"Does yer mean that, Joe?" demanded a farmer. "That I does," asserted Bagby, looking meaningly at Hennion. "I was told as a chance was given to the army to catch the man deepest in the business and in worse red handed. But what 's done?
Ef I wuz yer, I would n't het myself over them mogiges; I ain't sweatin'." "I'll sweat ye yet, ye old rascal," predicted the creditor. "When'll thet be?" asked Hennion. "When we are no longer tyrannised over by a pack of debtors, scoundrels, and Scotch Presbyterians," with which remark the squire stamped away.
Loring, the Commissary of Prisoners, and he asked if Philemon Hennion were not a friend of ours, and then told me that the deputy-commissary at Morristown writ him last week that the lad had died of the putrid fever." "I am very sorry," the girl said, with a genuine regret in her voice. "He I wish I can't but feel that 't is something for which I am to blame."
"She never said as how she " stammered Hennion. "That was nothing," continued Tibbie. "Thee shouldst have known it. The idea of asking the father first!" "But that 's the regular way," ejaculated Phil, in evident bewilderment. "To marry a girl when she does n't choose to!" snapped Tibbie. "A man of any decency would find out on the sly if she wanted him." "She never would "
But look ye, man, if ye 're indeed to make a voyage to York and back, which will likely take a month, 't is best that we settle this question of marriage ere ye go. I've given Miss Janice time, I think ye'll grant, and 't will be an advantage in your absence that she and Mrs. Meredith have one bound to protect them." "I'd say ay in a moment, Clowes, but for my word to Hennion."
You 'd give me about what I asked, would n't you, if I can get you Greenwood back again?" "How could ye e'er do that?" "It 's this way. That general act was n't drawn very careful, and when old Hennion bid the place in, I looked it over sharp, and I concluded there was a fighting chance to break the sale.
One of Moody's gang is working with Squire Hennion as hired man; and when Hennion knows that a rider is due, he drops into the ordinary, and, casual like, finds out all he can as to when he rides on, and by what road. Then he hurries off home and tells his man, and he goes and tells Moody, who gets his men together and does the business." "I see.
But who is this put you are going to marry?" "Mr. Hennion is of good family," answered Janice, with Spirit. "Good family!" laughed the man, bitterly. "No doubt he is. Think you Phil Hennion is less the clout because he has a pedigree? There are hogs in Yorkshire can show better genealogies than royalty."
"Neither her father nor I would consent to her wedding thee, and I know her wishes accord with ours." Joe, with a somewhat bewildered face and a decidedly awkward movement, picked up his hat. "It don't seem possible," he said, "that you'll throw away all that property; for, of course, I'm not going to stand between you and old Hennion when you show yourselves so unfriendly."
