About three o'clock Ezekiel arrived at the office of Sawyer, Crowninshield, Lawrence and Merry. He was shown into what had been the late Hon. Nathaniel's private office, and came face to face with Quincy. "I'm heartily glad to see you again," he exclaimed as he wrung Quincy's helpless hand after the first surprise of the meeting. "Huldy'll be delighted too.
But I reckon Huldy'll do for me, 'thout the Gardies, whatever they be." "Come, father," said Dame Hartley, "the child's tired now, an' I guess she wants to go upstairs. If you'll take the trunk, we'll follow ye." The stalwart farmer swung the heavy trunk up on his shoulder as lightly as if it were a small satchel, and led the way into the house and up the steep, narrow staircase.
"Well, I vum!" drawled the expressman, at length recovering speech. "I hope Huldy'll be satisfied." But Cap'n Joab Beecher was not. He stood up and pointed his stick at the heap of rubbish on the floor and his voice quavered as he shrilly asked: "Then, where's Cap'n Abe?" They all turned to stare again at Cap'n Amazon. That hardy mariner seemed to be quite as self-possessed as usual.
