"Ah," said I, and shook my head again sadly, "I think more and more we will have to go our pilgrimage without that, my friend." "Neow you look a' here," said Captain Leezur. "I ain't a-sayin' nothin', that they will or that they won't, but if they dew, let 'em. Did ye ever think o' what a heap o' wisdom there is in a poor old bean-pole? "Mornin' glory comes up an' looks at it.
I am not ashamed of pity. Some time if all things failed her should I even say, "Vesty, could you marry me, for pity for pity, Vesty?" For it was the thought of the Basins that compassion was greater than love, in some way the diviner side of love. Then should I turn on her and say, sly as Captain Leezur alas! so much slyer: "My lady!
I went often to Captain Leezur; the nervine lozenges were potent. "We all'as dew neighbor a great deal in winter," said he approvingly, stretching those dear felts before the blaze. "Is that a piece of the log we used to sit on?" I inquired mournfully. "Wal, neow! I r'a'ly believe ye feel a kind o' heart-leanin' to'ds her, don't ye?" "How can I help it?"
The old frayed shawl is grander than any ermine, and the goddess' chest is erect and broad; the winter will not kill her but I have gazed sadly in the mirror, and I go often to Captain Leezur. "If there 's any fun going on," frankly admits Mrs. Kobbe, "you'll all'as find me up an' dressed!"
Uncle Coffin gave me an irresistible but a loving and true, not a malicious, wink. "Speakin' o' women folks, Leezur," said he, "is there any news from Lot's wife?" Captain Leezur cleared the mellow symphonies of those organs through which he intoned his speech; and was about to reply, fully and sweetly, when Captain Pharo made his appearance at the door.
"She is some relative some grandniece of yours, Captain Leezur?" "No, oh no. Vesty and me 's only jest mates; but we charff and sarss each other 'tell the ceows come home." I thought of the tall girl with the holy eyelids and the brave resistance against mirth, and in spite of my predilection for Captain Leezur, his words seemed to me like sacrilege. "I saw her, Sunday," I said. "Wal, thar' neow!
Vesty's mouth quivered; her eyes looked fit to enfold the whole sinful world for his sake. "Good-night, major!" she said coldly; but she had spoken. And, beautiful and tall, she passed out of sight. As Captain Leezur turned to me, in spite of the dark duplicity of his conduct toward me, my heart gushed out to him unawares. I grasped his hand silently. I met her on the morrow in the lane.
In pursuance of which, "Did ye ever notice," said Captain Leezur, sitting on the log in the late sunshine, ambrosially sucking a nervine lozenge; "did ye ever notice, major, how 't all the great folks, or them 't 's risin' tew be great how 't they all comes from a squantum place like this?" "Yes," I said, "I've heard it as a remarkable fact."
"They told me all abeout Lot's wife, tew," said Captain Leezur, with grateful seriousness; "they've been great travellers, ye know; all abeout the appearance o' that location where she sot, an' heow it looked arfter she'd got up an' went, an' the aspec's o' Jaffy, an' all them interestin' partickalers, more'n what I ever heered from anybody afore."
Heave 'er eout. I knowed 't you'd fetch 'er, mother. Did I ever tell ye," said Captain Leezur to me, "heow sly I was when I went a-courtin'?" "No," said I. Mother Leezur's face was modest, yet all beautifully alight.
