Kinzie's party in jewels and in purple and fine linen had left or turned their hands to hard labor. The Kelsos suffered real distress, the schools being closed and the head of the house having taken to his bed with illness. Bim went to work as a seamstress and with the help of Mrs. Kinzie and Mrs. Hubbard was able to keep the family from want.
"Teaching the school at Hopedale." "We're going up to Chicago to see the Kelsos," said Samson. "Glad you are. Some rich feller up there by the name of Davis has fallen in love with Bim an' he don't give her any peace. He left here last night goin' north. Owns a lot o' land in Tazewell County an' wears a diamond in his shirt as big as your thumb nail.
"He's got a good heart In him." "You'll spoil him with praise," Sarah protested and then asked as she turned to the young statesman. "Have you heard from Bim or any of the Kelsos?" "Not a word. I often think of them." "There's been a letter in the candle every night for a week or so, but we haven't heard a word from Harry or from them," said Sarah.
No chance for internal improvements this session. Money is plenty and next year I think we can begin harping on that string. More than ever I am convinced that it is no time for anti-slavery agitation much as we may feel inclined to it. There's too much fire under the pot now." Soon after the new year of 1835 Samson and Harry moved the Kelsos to Tazewell County. Mr.
Hubbard was ill and the Kelsos already much in her debt. Mr. Lionel Davis came. He was a good-looking young man of twenty-nine, those days, rather stout and of middle stature with dark hair and eyes. He was dressed in the height of fashion. He used to boast that he had only one vice diamonds. But he had ceased to display them on his shirt-front or his fingers.
Late in the afternoon Harry and Samson left the Kelsos and their effects at a small frame house in the little village of Hopedale. The men had no sooner begun to unload than its inhabitants came to welcome the newcomers and help them in the work of getting settled. When the goods were deposited in The dooryard Samson and Harry drove to John Peasley's farm. Mr.
Once he gets set, it's hard to change him. The Kelsos have moved to Chicago, and I don't know how Bim stands. If Harry knows, he hasn't said a word to us about it."

He bought two corner lots for himself in the city and two acres for Mrs. Lukins on the prairie half a mile from town. They got their deeds and went to the Kelsos to bid them good-by. "Is there anything I can do for you?" Samson asked. "Just give us a friendly thought now and then," said Kelso. "You can have my horse or my wallet or the strength of my two hands."
James Rutledge and Ann and Abe Lincoln and Dr. Allen were the guests of the Kelsos. That night Harry stayed at home with the children. Kelso was in his best mood. "Come," he said, when dinner was ready. "Life is more than friendship. It is partly meat." "And mostly Kelso," said Dr. Allen. "Ah, Doctor! Long life has made you as smooth as an old shilling and nimbler than a sixpence," Kelso declared.
"I've been up to the Kelsos' home and had a wonderful talk with him and Brimstead," said Abe. "They have discovered each other. Kelso lives in a glorious past and Brimstead in a golden future. They're both poets. Kelso is translating the odes of Pindar. Brimstead is constructing the future of Illinois. They laugh at each other and so create a fairly agreeable present."
