But though this complacence to one whom the captain thoroughly despised, was not so uneasy to him as it would have been had any hopes of preferment made it necessary to show the same submission to a Hoadley, or to some other of great reputation in the science, yet even this cost him too much to be endured without some motive.
Richardson extolled her "knowledge of the human heart"; Murphy writes of her "lively and penetrating genius"; and her classical scholarship is attested by a translation of Xenophon's Memorabilia. That she also shared some of the engaging qualities of her brother may be assumed from the lines written to the memory of the "esteemed and loved ... Mrs. Sarah Fielding," by her friend Dr. John Hoadley.
The brook murmured over the stones and the wind rustled the branches. The wonder of Joan's home-coming was in learning that Uncle Bill Hoadley was indeed Overland, the discoverer of Alder Creek. Years and years of profitless toil had at last been rewarded in this rich gold strike. Joan hated to think of gold.
Hoadley, father of the present bishop of Winchester, added, that the prisoner was a good protestant, and frequently expressed his detestation of king-killing principles. Friend himself owned he had been with some of the conspirators at a meeting in Leadenhall-street, but heard nothing of raising men, or any design against the government.
Walpole approved of the Test Act no more than Hoadley did, although the spirit of his objection to it was far less positive and less exalted than that of Hoadley. But Walpole was, of course, an avowed Opportunist; he never professed or pretended to be anything better.
On one side were John A. Campbell, of New Orleans, late member of the Supreme Bench of the United States; a leading New York and a Mobile lawyer. Against us were Judge Hoadley, of Cincinnati, and several Southern men. I was assigned the duty of summing up the case for our side, and answering the final argument of the opposition.
I can make him feel it.... Oh, he loves me, and I'm not afraid of him any more.... It has been a terrible time for me, Jim, but I'm still the same girl you knew you used to " Cleve dropped the gun and he waved his hand before his eyes as if to dispel a blindness. "But why why?" he asked, incredulously. "Why did you leave Hoadley? That's forbidden. You knew the risk."
Joan burst into swift, broken utterance: "Only listen! I trailed you out twenty miles from Hoadley. I met Roberts. He came with me. He lamed his horse we had to camp. Kells rode down on us. He had two men. They camped there. Next morning he killed Roberts made off with me.... Then he killed his men just to have me alone to himself.... We crossed a range camped in the canon.
The personal elegance of the sovereign, and the luxurious details of the scene are in fine keeping with the minuteness of history in these matters. The Trial Scene in the Merchant of Venice. Zoffani. With Macklin, The Jew That Shakspeare drew; his daughter as Portia, in the habiliaments of "the learned lawyer;" Clark, Bensley, &c. Portrait of Bishop Hoadley. Hogarth. Banks of the Tiber. Wilson.
They call him Overland something." That name brought Joan to her feet with a thrilling fire. Her uncle, old Bill Hoadley, was called "Overland." Was it possible that the bandits meant him? It could hardly be; that name was a common one in the mountains. "Shore, I seen Overland lots of times," said Budd. "An' he got wise to my watchin' him."
