What a dream it had been, and she had waked to this! She rose. "If Dr. McKenzie doesn't take me back he may be sorry. Will you write to him?" "I shall see him Saturday in Paris. I have promised to dine with him. Captain Hewes is coming, too, if he can." Hilda, going away in the rain, dwelt moodily on Drusilla's opportunities. If only she, too, might dine in Paris with men like Dr.
While a member one day was reading documents to prove that public opinion was in favor of the measure, Mr. Hewes suddenly started upright, and lifting up both hands to heaven, as if in a trance, cried out: 'It is done, and I will abide by it. I would give more for a perfect painting of the terror and horror of the faces of the old majority at that moment than for the best piece of Raphael."
In a wonderfully graphic account of the last days of the great Earl of Essex, his chaplain, Thomas Knell, tells us that the night before the Earl died, 'he called William Hewes, which was his musician, to play upon the virginals and to sing. "Play," said he, "my song, Will Hewes, and I will sing it to myself."
McKenzie and Captain Hewes. There were indeed, men who might ask her to dine with them, but not as Drusilla had been asked, as an equal and as a friend. The way was long, the road was muddy. There was not much to look towards at the end. It was not that she minded the dreadfulness of sights and sounds she had been too much in hospitals for that.
Margaret's husband was somewhere in France with Pershing's divisions. Margaret was to have news of him this evening, brought by a young English officer, Dawson Hewes, who had been wounded at Ypres, and who had come on a recruiting mission, among his countrymen in America. The only other guest was to be Drusilla Gray. Derry had gone over early to have the twilight hour with Margaret's children.
To this demand Hewes impudently replied that when he had done with the fish-flakes he cared not who used them, and that he would abandon the place when it suited his own convenience, and not before.
On the 30th of October the committee made a report recommending more vessels, and four more members were added to the Committee Mr. Hopkins, Mr. Hewes, R. H. Lee and John Adams. At a session of Congress on the 9th of November, 1775, a resolution was passed authorizing the creation of two battalions of marines. They were to be composed only of those acquainted with seamanship.
"Of course," and then they both laughed, and the old gentleman in the corner said to the woman who sat with him, "Let's get away. I can't stand it." "I don't see why." "You wouldn't see. But there was a time once when I loved a girl like that." Drusilla and Captain Hewes coming in, after a canter through the Park, broke in upon the Paradise of the young pair.
While Jefferson was the author of the instrument, John Adams, more than any one man or half a dozen men brought about its adoption. When the question was afterward asked him, whether every member of congress cordially approved it, he replied, "Majorities were constantly against it. For many days the majority depended on Mr. Hewes of North Carolina.
Thus she weighed her influence over the sleeping sick man, thus she dreamed, calm as fate in her white uniform. Drusilla Gray's little late suppers were rather famous. It was not that she spent so much money, but that she spent much thought. Tonight she was giving Captain Hewes a sweet potato pie. "He has never eaten real American things," she said to Jean. "Nice homey-cooked things "
