And chances are we'll own that fine trophy by the time we get back to Beverly again." "Didn't I hear something about our having to register at a lot of places along the way?" asked Jotham. "Yes, I believe that's a part of the game," replied Seth. "It's only right, just to prove that we haven't cut across lots, and shirked any. Mr.
Holway, but yourself and me and Dan and Gaius. To proceed: "'Daniel Bassett has 9. "The Conservatives and their women folks fairly groaned out loud. Tompkins jumped to his feet, but Jotham held up a hand. "'Just a moment, D'rius, he says. 'I ain't through yet. "'Gaius Ellis has 9. "Then 'twas the Progressives' turn to groan. The racket and hubbub was gettin' louder all the time.
The whole case, you may remember, was embodied thousands of years ago in a parable, which Jotham, standing on the top of Mount Gerizim, spoke to the men of Shechem: "The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive-tree, 'Reign thou over us.
If you ever see symptoms in me of wanting to play the Jotham, I hope that you will put me outside the house door and shut it on me!" The old Squire laughed and patted my shoulder affectionately. "Well, I'm eighty-three now, you know," he said slowly. "It can hardly be such a very great while." I shook my head by way of protest, for the thought was an exceedingly unpleasant one.
This belief became confirmed, and was indeed rendered probable, when the direful intelligence reached the village that Jotham Riddel, the miner, was found in his hole, nearly dead with suffocation, and burnt to such a degree that no hopes were entertained of his life.
When this news began to circulate through the village, blended with the fate of Jotham, and the exaggerated and tortured reports of the events on the hill, the popular opinion was freely expressed, as to the propriety of seizing such of the fugitives as remained within reach.
He has told the tales of his grandfather's exploits as a hunter so many times that he not only believes them himself but is equally sure that everyone else believes them. Yet Jotham is in the main taciturn. It is only when the northeaster soughs in the eaves and brings him leisure that he drops into narrative.
However, one was for Bassett and t'other for Ellis, so the deadlock wa'n't broken. Jotham had only a couple of his reg'lars left, and I swan to man if THEY didn't catch the disease inside of the follerin' fortni't and hand in their names. The 'Billiard, Pool, and Sipio Saloon, from bein' the liveliest place in town, was now the deadest.
He was thinking only of the great ethical and spiritual problems working themselves out in this history, of the question whether or not these kings "did that which was right in the sight of the Lord," and of the effects of their right doing and their evil doing upon the lives of the people. What difference, indeed, does it make to you and me whether Jotham reigned sixteen years or twenty years?
"Don't burn like that to me; I seem to see something of a building every now and then, when the flames shoot up," Paul went on to remark, for he was always discovering things upon which to found a reasonable theory. "How far away does it lie, dy'e think, Paul?" asked Andy. "Not more than half a mile, I should say," came the reply. "Just my idea to a dot," Jotham admitted.
