"And yet you know where they are?" "I didn't say I knew of their whereabouts. But I will say that I know where to find the heir, a son." "You should go to him at once, then, and give him the opportunity to pay off that mortgage on Uncle Josiah's home." "Yes, I can do that. But it isn't so simple. Right there is where I've struck the snag that has nearly driven me insane. How to do it " "How?
Few men would have been as welcome as the serious-minded New England captain who had met Penhallow from time to time since the engineer's mud-bath in the Pamunkey River. "Glad to get you by yourself," said Blake. "You look used up. Do keep quiet!" "I will, but sit down and take a pipe. Coffee, Josiah!" he called out. "I am quite too popular by reason of Josiah's amazing ability to forage.
"Well, Billy, glad to see you," said Penhallow, as he settled himself in the saddle. "All well at Grey Pine?" "Yes, sir." The Squire was in high good-humour on having made two good contracts for iron rails. "How are politics, Billy?" "Don't know, sir." "Anything new at Westways?" "Yes, sir," replied Billy with emphasis. "Well, what is it?" "Josiah's run away." "Run away! Why?"
It was one of the proud moments in Josiah's life, and yet when back of him he heard a whisper, "Chip of the old block," he couldn't repress the well nigh passionate yearning, "Oh, Lord, if she had only been a boy!" That year an addition was being made to the factory and Mary liked to watch the builders. She often noticed a boy and a dog sitting under the trees and watching, too.
The snort of the engine as it ketched sight of me, sounded friendly to me. It seemed to say to me, "Forerunner, your runnin' is done, and well done! Your labors of duty and anxiety is over. Soon, soon will you be with your beloved pardner at home." Home, the dearest word that was ever said or sung. The passengers all looked good to me. The men's hats looked like Josiah's.
They touch your wrist without knowing it, and if it is a woman's, why their hand, like brother Josiah's cases that went on all fours, crawls up on its fingers, till it gets to where the best pulse of all is. Ah, Doctor, there is Highland blood in that heart, and it will beat warmly towards you, I know. I wonder what Peter would have said, if he had seen what I did.
The sum of this covenant, ye may find in Josiah's renewing the covenant, "to walk after the Lord, and keep His commandments and testimonies, with all the heart, and to perform the words of the covenant." The renewing of the covenant was after a great defection from God, and the setting up of a false worship.
There it wuz, there is my own weakness sot right down in black and white. But, anyway, it only cost thirty-five cents, and there wuzn't nothin' painful about it, like Josiah's shoes, nor protracted, like Tirzah Ann's stockin's.
The Squire halted in the open pine forest on a wood-road behind the cabin. He threw one leg over the pommel and sat still with the ease of a horseman in any of the postures the saddle affords. "Read me both of those letters again, and slowly." This time John made no remarks. When he came to the end of Josiah's letter, he looked towards the silent figure seated sideways.
Josiah Dimick met him, and his answers to Josiah's questions were so vague and irrelevant that Captain Dimick was puzzled, and later expressed the opinion that "Whit's cookin' must be pretty bad; acted to me as if he had dyspepsy of the brain." Captain Cy stopped at Mr. Lumley's residence to leave an order for the delivery of the box. Then he drifted into Simmons's and accosted Alpheus Smalley.
