Rumor had it that not all her guests were flesh and blood, but that she had an antique mirror across which ancient occupants of the house would pass in shadowy procession at her command, and that she was wont to have the Shirleys, Olivers, Hutchinsons, and Dudleys out of their graves to hold receptions there; so a touch of dread may have mingled in the feeling that kept the populace aloof.
And all the folk I knew were driven away went to America, many of them; all the Hutchinsons went. I remember that time well. But oh dear the many moves I had after that! I cannot tell them all one from another...." "It tires you to talk. Never mind now. Tell me another time." "No I'm not tired. I can talk. Where was I? Oh the lodgings!
They'd go home at night, and perhaps, if they were in luck, would go to a "show" somewhere, and afterward come and sit in their tilted chairs in the hall bedroom and smoke and talk it over. And he wouldn't be there, and the Hutchinsons' rooms would be empty, unless some new people were in them. Galton would be sitting among his papers, working like mad.
She would have come back for her two months with Eleanor, but she was glad to be relieved of that necessity. Margaret had the secret feeling that the ordeal of the Hutchinsons was one that she would like to spare her foster child, and incidentally herself in relation to the adjustment of conditions necessary to Eleanor's visit.
It was a bitter dose and one which women have been compelled to take in every State where a campaign for woman suffrage has been made. The Hutchinsons John, his son Henry and lovely daughter Viola were giving a series of concerts, travelling in a handsome carriage drawn by a span of white horses. As they had one vacant seat, they were carrying Rev.
The ten Hutchinsons having left the library entirely alone in the hour before dinner, David and Margaret had appropriated it and were sitting companionably together on the big couch drawn up before the fireplace, where a log was trying to consume itself unscientifically head first. "I would stay to dinner if urged," David suggested. "You stay," Margaret agreed laconically.
"Well I am glad somebody has been told that I am properly adoptid, but I am sorry it is the ten Hutchinsons who know." Uncle Peter treated her as if she were grown up; that was the wonderful thing about her visit to him, if there could be one thing about it more wonderful than another.
It so happened that just at this time a number of the friends of Wheelwright and the Hutchinsons were on their way from England to settle in Massachusetts. The first act of the new government was to exclude these new-comers by passing a law forbidding any town to entertain strangers for more than three weeks without the consent of two of the magistrates.
In New York they act as different as they eat. The Hutchinsons act different from anybody. They do not know Aunt Margaret has adoptid me. Nobody knows I am adoptid but me and my aunts and uncles. Miss Prentis and Aunt Beulah's mother when she came home and all the bohemiar ladies and all the ten Hutchinsons think I am a little visiting girl from the country.
With her was her husband, William Hutchinson, and their fifteen children. It had been a pleasant passage of seven weeks. The Hutchinsons came from Boston, England, and had been members of the Reverend John Cotton's church. It had been their intention to leave for the New World with him the year before, but they had been detained by the authorities, for just what reason we do not know.
