When I beheld the ordeal through which Grandpa Keeler was called to pass, at the hands of his faithful consort, before he was considered in a fit condition of mind and body to embark for the sanctuary, I marvelled not at the old man's reluctance, nor that he had indeed seen clouds and tempest fringing the horizon.
At this last childishly whimsical appeal I was in sore danger of being diverted from the serious channel of my thoughts. Then the door of the Ark softly opened a little way, and there, nightcapped in white, like a full, benignant moon, appeared the head of Grandma Keeler, as she peered blindly out into the night. "Poor old soul!" I said.
She used to sit down and laugh one of Grandma's "r'al good laughs" was incompatible with a standing posture until the tears rolled down her cheeks, and she had to wipe them off with the corner of her apron. She had been thrown from a wagon once how often and thrillingly have I heard dear Grandma Keeler relate the particulars of that accident!
That there might be no misunderstanding, I repeated my reply to his wife: that we were ready to investigate, if we could be allowed to watch the very points where material agency ceases and spiritual begins, but these very points Mr. Keeler forbade us to examine, and that the failure rested with him.
I presume likely you know that Laban worked here in this office until three o'clock this mornin', didn't you?" Albert did not know it. Mr. Keeler had told him nothing of the sort. "Why, no," he replied. "Did he? What for?" "Ye-es, he did. And what for? Why, just to find out what was the matter with his trial balance, that's all.
But John Keeler was none the wiser, as Darcy quickly saw. He and Collins had reached Louisville undetected. Had there assumed the character of honest miners, shipped their bullion by express, a part to New Orleans and a part to Philadelphia, and were on the point of dissolving partnership.
Paymaster Keeler led the way, in company with Stocking, Williams, and one or two others; and though the water was now waist-deep, and they knew the vessel was liable to go down at almost any moment, they worked on nobly, throwing out a constant stream of water from the turret. Meanwhile the boat launched from the Rhode Island had started, manned by a crew of picked men.
Was he, Keeler, on a fool's errand to San Francisco? Well, he had determined on his own account to do a little investigating in Nevada City that very day. So had Mat Bailey. Hence his unusual taciturnity. So had "Bed-bug Brown," and he kept the secret to himself.
The séance was held in Mr. Keeler; f is a small table, placed within the curtain, and upon which were a tambourine, a guitar, two bells, a hammer, a metallic ring; the asterisks show the positions of the spectators, who sat in a double row the two marked and indicate the positions taken by Mrs. Kase and Col. Kase, according to the directions of the Medium.
"We've been a singing" interposed Grandma Keeler in a voice that contrasted with Emily's, like the flow of a great calm river with the impatient fall of a cataract. "It seems a' most as though I'd been in Heaven.
