On December 20, Andros, his officers, and guard, clad in the brilliant uniforms of soldiers of the British establishment, landed at Leverett's wharf and marched through the local militia up King's Street to the Town House, where he read his commission and administered the oaths.
Chanticleer was fined five pounds. For this amount he immediately wrote an order on his bankers, Brier, Primrose, and Whitethorn; and then, greatly to old Leverett's chagrin, the prisoner was discharged, and all parties left the court. Mr. Sharpe Vulture advised instant proceedings at law.
Though she yielded on many points in that tacit sort of way, she was by no means an echo of her sister. The three men entered the cabin. Chilian was no stranger to the officials, who greeted him cordially and who sympathized with Captain Anthony Leverett's untimely ending, as he was hardly past middle life. "Why, it will be quite a change to have a child in your household," said Josiah Ward.
He could only touch lightly upon what had been such solemn earnest to the men of that time, the women as well. "I'm going to be a soldier," declared James, with all the fervor of his youthful years. "But you can't ever be, Doris." "No," answered Doris softly, squeezing Uncle Leverett's hand in both of hers. "But there isn't any war."
The winter at Uncle Leverett's he had rather despised girls. Cousin Sam was the one to be envied then. And it seemed to her that she kept quite busy at home, but it was a pleasant kind of business. She did not see Elizabeth until dinner time. James took the men's dinner out to the field. They could not spend the time to come in.
When Doris looked on Uncle Leverett's placid face she was very sure he could not be really gone, but mysteriously asleep. Yes, little Doris the active, loving, thinking man had "fallen on sleep," and the soul had gone to its reward.
"Oh, yes, I've seen those;" rather impatiently. "And Mr. Leverett's just splendid!" "I always told you so;" somewhat grumpily. "But I'd rather be up in the study with him and Cynthy than to go to half a dozen parties." "Oh, we weren't in the study at all." "No, that isn't for girls." So he had scored one, after all.
Hollis Leverett came and spent the day, and young married women who had been Mary Leverett's friends came to tea. Warren went over in the old chaise and brought Aunt Priscilla. Everybody seemed personally aggrieved that Betty should stay away so long. But Betty was having a grand time.
She was sitting in a high-backed chair, very straight and prim. She was not quite at home yet, and kept wondering if she wouldn't rather have her own house if she could get a reasonable sort of servant. Still, she did enjoy the sociable side of life, and it was pleasant here at Cousin Leverett's.
Elizabeth Leverett's heart was touched and she swallowed over a lump in her throat. She had taken up the rose from a place where it had been smothered with those of larger growth and given it to the child who had begged for "a garden of her very own." She had not supposed it would live. And that Cynthia should bring her the firstfruits! "I'm obliged to you," she returned huskily.
