"Blessed be ye poor" and "Woe unto you rich" are texts with which the Church has bamboozled the multitude in the interest of the privileged classes. The disinherited sons of earth were promised all sorts of fine compensations in Kingdom-Come; meanwhile kings, aristocrats, priests, and all the rest of the juggling and appropriating tribe, battened on the fruits of other men's labor.
An' when I sees the jedge a-makin' tracks fer the settlemints, I says, 'Jedge, I says, 'you spoke a parable shore." Well, sir, the long preacher looked jes as though he was a-sayin' to hisself, "Yes, I hear ye, but I don't heed ye," an' when he says, "Jes the same, I'm a-goin' to hold a meetin' on Kingdom-Come," why, I jes takes my foot in my hand an' ag'in I steps fer home.
"Ay, I have an auld score to settle wi' you, Wallace, an' I hope to see you an' your comrades swing in the Grassmarket before lang." "Ye'll niver see that, my man," said Black, as he firmly grasped the shovel. "Ye ha'ena gotten us yet, an' it's my opeenion that you an' your freends'll be in kingdom-come before we swing, if ye try to tak' us alive. Oot o' this hoose, ye scoondrels!"
She had but to open her jaws, as it were, and she might bring a second earthquake on the city batter it into kingdom-come with the Ajuda palace and the Necessidades, the churches, and the lean, dry, empty streets, and Don John, tremendous on horseback, in the midst of Black Horse Square. Wherever we looked we could see that enormous "Caledonia," with her flashing three lines of guns.
But he hadn't gone far on his way, before it came into his mind that he had forgotten something which he must go back to fetch; meanwhile, he set the sack down by the road side. Just then came a man driving a fine fat flock of sheep. To Kingdom-come, to Paradise. To Kingdom-come, to Paradise. roared out Little Peter, who lay inside the sack, and that he kept bawling and bellowing out.
You can ketch the devil 'most any day in the week on Hell fer Sartain, an' sometimes you can git Glory everlastin' on Kingdom-Come. Hit's the only meetin'-house thar in twenty miles aroun'. Well, the reg'lar rider, ole Jim Skaggs, was dead, an' the bretherin was a-lookin' aroun' fer somebody to step into ole Jim's shoes.
Once in a while you find a panicky fox that does this. When the dogs get after him he makes a straight streak for kingdom-come and the hunter with the gun waits in vain. But on days when there is no gunning going on the fox will sometimes walk right onto a man.
"If he had lived a little longer," said the Senator's sister, not meaning to be unkind, "he would have got all I have." That was what life held for the Senator. Death was more kind. I've told ye, stranger, that Hell fer Sartain empties, as it oughter, of co'se, into Kingdom-Come.
Well, I don't like to be thought a thief. Besides, Mrs. Clifford has been kind to us. Sus. She's paid us for work done; so has old Nathan. Mat. Did old Nathan ever give you a glass of wine when you took home his slops? Sus. Oh! that don't cost much; and besides, she takes it out in kingdom-come. Mat. You're unfair, Susan. Sus. Well, it's little fairness I get. Mat.
Why, Riatt," he added solemnly, "I'd far rather see her married to you than to him." If Max felt disposed to smile at this innocent endorsement, he suppressed the inclination, and merely answered: "You may have your wish." "I hope so," said Ned.
