For a day or two before the hearing of the case, the members of the house had "observed an ill-dressed young man sauntering in the lobby," apparently a stranger to everybody, moving "awkwardly about ... with a countenance of abstraction and total unconcern as to what was passing around him;" but who, when the committee convened to consider the case of Dandridge against Littlepage, at once took his place as counsel for the former.
Littlepage," returned Guert, moderating his warmth, in a manner that a little surprised me, though his handsome face still glowed with honest, natural admiration; "since there is a Miss Mary Wallace in her company, that is quite as much thought of, here in Albany, as her friend, Miss Mordaunt." Mary Wallace!
I am rejoiced to find, however, that you look upon the foolish affair of the slide as more grave than that of the supper, which I was fearful might involve me in serious disgrace." "Neither is very serious, Mr. Littlepage, though the last might have proved awkward, had not the Mayor known the ways of the young men of the town.
I dare say, that in time, both towns and seats will be seen on the banks of the Hudson, and a powerful and numerous nobility to occupy the last. By the way, Mr. Littlepage, your father and my friend Col. Follock have been making a valuable acquisition in lands, I hear; having obtained a patent for an extensive estate, somewhere in the neighbourhood of Albany?"
"'Corny Littlepage, here, is only half English, and that half is colony-born and colony-bred," answered the laughing girl, "and he has loved a sleigh from the time when he first slid down hill " "Ah! Miss Anneke let me entreat " "Oh! no allusion is intended to the Dutch church and its neighbourhood; but, the sports of childhood are always dear to us, as are sometimes the discomforts.
Besides, the daughter of an educated and well-connected clergyman has claims that, in a worldly point of view alone, entitle her to a certain consideration. You will do me the favour to accept my offering?" "Dear Mrs. Littlepage! I do not know how to refuse you, or how to accept so rich a gift! You will let me consult my father, first?"
Littlepage," the divine at length said, with a smile so painful it was almost haggard, "for, so Mary tells me you should be called I thank you for this attention, sir but, it will be over in another minute I feel better now, and shall be able to command myself." No more was then said, concerning the reason of this distress; but Mary has since explained to me its cause.
"I hope, through Heaven's mercy, not. Indeed, I think not; though I fear he must be a prisoner." "Thank you for that, dear, dear Mr. Littlepage! Oh! Thank you for that, from the bottom of my heart. But may they not torture him? Do not these Hurons torture their prisoners? Conceal nothing from me, Corny; you cannot imagine how much self-command I have, and how well I can behave.
Littlepage, you might almost as well have asked me, if I had ever heard of a Van Cortlandt, or a Philipse, or a Morris, or any other of the gentry hereabouts. Mr.
Anneke coloured, turned quickly towards me, bent her eyes more boldly and steadily on my face and then it was that I fancied the sweetest smile which mortal had ever received, or that with which I had just before been received, was much surpassed. "Mr. Littlepage, I believe, is not a total stranger, cousin Dirck," she said.
