"A minute or two yet, good gentlemen, please! I'm a'most ready. I'm a-waiting to get out my purple gownd." "All right, missus," was the muffled answer. The "purple gownd" was kept in this very ex-room of Brother Jarrum's hid in a safe place between some sheets of newspaper. Had Mrs. Peckaby kept it open to the view of Peckaby, there's no saying what grief the robe might not have come to, ere this.

Consequently, when Peckaby now entered, defiance in his face and unsteadiness in his legs, the guests filed out of their own accord; and Brother Jarrum, taking the flaring candle from the shelf, disappeared with it up the stairs. This has been a very fair specimen of Brother Jarrum's representations and eloquence. It was only one meeting out of a great many.
