"Who's Johnson?" said Scroggles, contemptuously. "Wot, don't ye know who Johnson is?" cried Gurney, in surprise. "In course I don't; how should I?" retorted Scroggles. "There's ever so many Johnsons in the world; which on 'em all do you mean?" "Why, I mean Johnson wot wrote the diksh'nary the great lexikragofer." "Oh, it's him you mean, is it? In course I've knowed him ever since I wos at school."
I do not wish to confound these Johnsons with one of the same name, who lived on the Washington road, near our vidette post. He pretended to be loyal, but we did not take any stock in him, and found after our capture that he was an open and exultant Secesh. I found half a dozen Johnnies in there hauling over my wardrobe and appropriating what they took a fancy to.
His clothing was stolen and worn by the assassin who was caught and suffered the death penalty. Major Marshall came along to see what was going on and stood for a minute at the head of my trench. The Germans spotted his Glengarry and began shelling my trench with "Jack Johnsons," and Major Marshall had to clear out.
It was one of the largest and most substantial residences in the town and for that reason gave much concern to the Society of Friends of which the Johnsons were members. During the Battle of Germantown it was in the thick of the fight, and following the warning of an officer John Johnson and his entire family took refuge in the cellar.
An' as fur Huldy yer, her mother throws her onto me; she's not like the Cannons an' Johnsons; she's full of pride, and," with an oath, "let it be tuk out of her! Will you pay my price?" He hesitated. "It's not the price, Patty; it's the way. Isn't it cowardly?" "Yes," said Patty, saucily, "it's kidnappin'. That's the trade yer.
Two of these, the Johnsons, had elected to remain with their friend Master Timothy, and a soldier had been chosen to keep them company. Johnnie was the last of the three invalids to recover; indeed, the others had made plans for their journey in the wake of the main expedition long before he was fit to take his place in the boat.
Of important Dutch families, there were the Fondas at Caughnawaga, the Mabies and Groats at Rotterdam, below us, and the Quackenbosses to the west of us, across the river. The Johnsons and Butlers were Irish. Over at Cherry Valley the Campbells and Clydes were Scotch the former being, indeed, close blood relatives of the great Argyll house.
"Dot Johnson!" chorused the older girls, in horror. "Not really?" Marian continued. "The Johnsons are impossible." "They've got more money than daddy has," said Prue. "But they have no aspirations none at all," murmured Marian, in horror. "If Lawford married Dot Johnson it would be almost as bad as his being mixed up with that picture actress." "For him; not for us," said Prue promptly.
I had a young friend she was the cousin of Sarah Wedderburn, who lived in Stanhope Terrace, and married young Johnson of Sunderland. You have heard me speak of the Johnsons, who were at school with your Aunt Emma?" Sylvia blinked her eyelids in a non-committal manner which might be taken either for assent or denial.
Rumors that a formidable foe was about to advance reached the Iroquois and their allies, the Tories, the English, and the Canadians. There was a great stirring among the leaders, Thayendanegea, Hiokatoo, Sangerachte, the Johnsons, the Butlers, Claus, and the rest. Haldimand, the king's representative in Canada, sent forth an urgent call to all the Iroquois to meet the enemy.
