"I should like them just as well if they always stayed there, and did n't come down to get all crumbs and grease in the sink," returned the other tartly. "Oh, of course," agreed Mrs. Howland, with a smile; "but, as long as they don't, why, we might as well take what satisfaction there is in putting them in shape again."
"You will tell me all that I want to know," finished Howland, tightening the thong about his wrists. He led the way then to the cabin. The door was closed, but opened readily as he put his weight against it.
I know that 'cause that black haired one has a queer name and the box was for some Sarah Something. But I guess she'll get it all right," he finished with a professional air of certainty. "She comes there a lot." "A box of jewelry for little Sarah Howland," said Jane to Dozia. "And the sobbing in the back room," whispered Dozia in answer.
That evening as the Elder with his bandaged hands, Carver, gaunt and pale from an attack of fever, Standish, Winslow, John Howland, and Doctor Fuller sat at supper in the Common house, Master Jones, followed by a sailor heavily laden, presented himself at the door. "Good e'en, Masters, and how are your sick folk?" demanded he, in a would-be cordial voice.
In fact, the watchman's eyes had seen rather more, than in reality, was to be seen, and his testimony was strongly colored. The required security given, Mr. Howland, without turning toward his son, or speaking to him, left the office. "You can go home, young man," said the Mayor, addressing Andrew.

The will of Andrew, which by other treatment might have been bent to obedience, gained a vigor like the young oak amid storms, in the strife and reaction of his daily life. Instead of drawing his child to him, there was ever about Mr. Howland a sphere of repulsion. Andrew was always doing something to offend his father; and his father was in consequence always offended.
Naturally the personal element in the affair blinded Curtis to the truth in this argument. However, with the advent of Job Howland and the news he bore, all differences were forgotten. The planter and ship-owner now needed thorough, rather than hurried, preparation.
You will please go into the living-room. I don't allow company to do kitchen work." "Of course not!" acquiesced Mrs. Howland imperturbably. "But your father's sister is n't company, you know. Let's see, you put your clean dishes here?" "But, Aunt Ellen, you must n't," protested Kate. "At home you do nothing nothing all day." A curious expression came into Mrs.
"Between ourselves, he found it was of no account at all. Queer, isn't it, when the man ... but of course literature's another proposition. Howland says it's one of the cases where an idea might seem original and striking if one didn't happen to be able to trace its descent. And this is straight out of bosh by Pellerin. ... Yes: Pellerin.
And the worst of the whole was, he did nearly all this work in the name of religion! Not that he was a hypocrite. No; Mr. Howland was sincere in his professions of piety. But he was a narrow-minded man, and did much in the name of religion, that in no way harmonized with its true character.
