The delicately carved rood-loft, or jube, the small sculptures of the choir and nave, and the flamboyant chapels of the fifteenth to seventeenth century, challenge minute attention from those who would study decorative detail in extenso.
All human love and gratitude are damned poor things; excuse me, gentlemen, this isn't a pleasant story. The truth is usually a nasty thing to stand. "It was not six months after that that my friendship to Jube, which he had been at such great pains to win, was put to too severe a test. "It was in the summer time again, and as business was slack, I had ridden over to see my friend, Dr. Tom.
"Oh, Squire, if you ever sketch me, for goodness gracious sake, don't sketch me as an Attache to our embassy, with the Legation button, on the coat, and black Jube Japan in livery. Don't do that; but paint me in my old waggon to Nova Scotier, with old Clay before me, you by my side, a segar in my mouth, and natur all round me.
I have taken steps to find out speedily." "O God, be merciful! I don't see how I can long survive if he is dead." Jube, satisfied that George was in the flesh, followed him to his room, and aided him in exchanging his wet clothes for dry ones, meanwhile answering the young man's rapid questions.
We left New York in the afternoon of day of May, 184-, and embarked on board of the good Packet ship "Tyler" for England. Our party consisted of the Reverend Mr. Hopewell, Samuel Slick, Esq., myself, and Jube Japan, a black servant of the Attache. I love brevity I am a man of few words, and, therefore, constitutionally economical of them; but brevity is apt to degenerate into obscurity.
"How can you think of such a thing? Suppose you were to miss your shot, and kill that unfortunate boy?" "I won't suppose no such thing, Sir. I can't miss it. I couldn't miss it if I was to try. Hold your head steady, Jube and if I did, it's no great matter.
This they proceeded to do, Mr. Houghton meanwhile protesting, "No, George, you shall not come back." Then he asked a moment or two later, "Why do you take me out at the side door?" "It will be safer," George replied, not wishing to explain that the pillared and massive portico was in ruins. As they passed the front of the house, however, Jube groaned, "Oh, Lawd! de porch dun smashed!"
"Mebbe old Jube wouldn't want me round 'bout," he suggested. "Waal," said Birt, eager again to detail his plans, "he 'lowed when I axed him this mornin' ez he'd be willin' ef I could trade with another boy ter take my place wunst in a while." Nate affected to meditate on this view of the question.
But best of all, Jube was a perfect Cerberus, and no one on earth could have been more effective in keeping away or deluding the other young fellows who visited the Dalys. He would tell me of it afterwards, chuckling softly to himself. 'An, Doctah, I say to Mistah Hemp Stevens, "'Scuse us, Mistah Stevens, but Miss Annie, she des gone out," an' den he go outer de gate lookin' moughty lonesome.
His rapid blows crushed them to a shapeless mass. "And now thar they ain't." Jube did not linger long. He was in terror lest Ike should tell his father. But Ike did not think this was his duty. In fact, neither boy imagined that the affair involved anything more serious than stabling a horse without the knowledge of the owner of the shelter.
