"I like that young feller, Keziah," he said. "Like him for a lot of reasons, same as the boy liked the hash. For one thing, his religion ain't all starch and no sugar. He's good-hearted and kind and and human. He seems to get just as much satisfaction out of the promise of heaven as he does out of the sartainty of t'other port.
Perchance this flitting could be accomplished without drawing down either notice or remark. To please Jacob, Keziah would have done much, even to running the risk of a scolding from her aunt. She had none of saucy Cherry's scorn of the big boorish fellow with the red face and hairy hands.
"He he told me to go in," faltered Susan. She had no sense of reality. It was a dream only a dream and she would awaken in her own clean pretty pale-gray bedroom with Ruth gayly calling her to come down to breakfast. "Who are you?" demanded Keziah for at a glance it was the sister. "I'm I'm Susan Lenox." "Oh Zeke Warham's niece. Come right in."
Ah me! ah me! it's a wicked, miserable world, and I am the most miserable creature in it. Be quick, you good-for-nothing, and do as I say!" Septimius hastened down; but as he went a thought came into his head, which it occurred to him might result in great benefit to Aunt Keziah, as well as to the great cause of science and human good, and to the promotion of his own purpose, in the first place.
"Yes," said Mr. Gryce, "she has had what you women call a disappointment; and," speaking with unusual energy, "the man was a fool and a coward, and she has had a lucky escape." "Say ye? If so, then there is no call for her to carry on," said Keziah philosophically. "But the poor bairn's looking wantle enough now, though I warrant me the fell-side air will brisk her up in no time."
"I was just tryin' to help Keziah take down her stovepipe," he explained. "You see, she didn't have no man to " "Yes, I see. Well, I judge you got it down. Now you go out to the sink and wash your face. Heavens and earth! Look at them clothes!" "I do hope you didn't hurt yourself, Abishai," said the sympathetic Keziah.
I'm tickled to death to know she's goin' to have as good a man as you are. She'll tell you so. Grace! Hello! she's gone." "Yes. I told her I wanted to talk with you alone, for a few minutes. Nat, Grace tells me that Aunt Keziah was the one who " "She was. She met me at the Cohasset Narrows depot. I was settin' in the car, lookin' out of the window at the sand and sniffin' the Cape air.
But first, child, tell me honestly, do you love this drink of mine? Otherwise, here, and at once, we stop talking about it." "I love it for its virtues," said Septimius, temporizing with his conscience, "and would prefer it on that account to the rarest wines." "So far good," said Aunt Keziah, who could not well conceive that her liquor should be otherwise than delicious to the palate.
Do not look at me to deny me, dearest. I know that this is you, and that we are here, together. Wait wait and it will come!" This was what Keziah remembered hearing as she came back into the house. She crossed the kitchen, and saw, beyond Widow Thrale in the passage, that the two old sisters were in each other's arms.
However, being reminded, he had called upon a friend in the tailoring line and had obtained for Keziah the place of sewing woman. She decided to become housekeeper at the Trumet parsonage and so notified him. Then he washed his hands of her. But now he was compelled to soil them again. Keziah had appeared at his office, without warning, and demanded that he find her a position.
