It was mainly out of consideration for Langworth, and desire to please him, that I now joined the Unitarian Church, of which all the old settlers of Laurel were members.
I was not a part of this. I felt like an outcast, but I bore myself with assumed independence and indifference. I thought everybody was looking at me. Most of them were. Langworth enrolled me as a special student. He himself paid my tuition fee, which was a nominal one. I enrolled in Philosophy, Economics, German, Latin. My patron, furthermore, slipped a ten-dollar bill into my hand.
There can be no doubt that prior to, and even up to 1830, the religious sentiment of the greater portion of the people was anything but strong. Stuart, of Kingston, Church of England, was the first minister in Upper Canada, Mr. Langworth, of the same denomination, in Bath; and Mr. Being a Quaker, he naturally did not approve of the way those early preachers conducted services.
I knew that they'd allow me to continue drawing out books at the university, even though I attended classes no longer Professor Langworth would see to that. Also, most of the professors would whisper "good riddance" to themselves. I camped at their gates too closely with questions. I never accepted anything as granted.
"But, make no mistake about it, it's going to kick up a big dust! "Also, remember, no one is going to stand by us ... even the Civic Betterment League, headed by Professor Langworth your friend, Johnnie will be angry with us say our methods are too sensational.
I don't mind though," continued Alice, "I hang up her clothes for her ... make her bed ... sweep and dust our rooms ... it makes me happy to wait on anything so beautiful!" and the face of the homely girl glowed with joy.... I was poor and miserable. I bent my head forward, forgetful of my determination to walk erect and proud, with a pride I did not possess. Langworth was coming behind me.
Munday, in the Schiller class, tells me you sometimes bring in your daily lesson in Wilhelm Tell, translated into blank verse ... and good stuff, too.... And King says he turns over the most difficult lines in Horace in class for you to translate and construe." Langworth had only half the truth from King.
I took down book after book of the great English poets, and pressed my cheek to them in long farewell ... first glancing cautiously around, to be sure that no one was near to observe my actions.... I did not say good-bye to Langworth or my other professor friends, as they had already left for their summer vacations. I sat in Joe Deacon's room, talking, that last night of my sojourn in Laurel....
The matron of the hospital was the person whom the girls interviewed on this occasion. Mrs. Langworth had some interest in each patient besides the doctor's professional concern. She was sympathetic. "We do not know what to call him," she explained. "He laughs rather grimly about it and tells us to call him 'John. But that, I am sure, is not his name.
Where these restaurants profited I could never see ... unless by a little bootlegging on the side. It was to one of them that I repaired when I left my malodorous job. The same one where I had spent my first night in town. Langworth sent for me one day. "I have heard wild tales about you, Johnnie.
