Greenland's daughter; he was probably son of Cornelis van Langevelt of New Amsterdam. Under the name Cornelius Longfield he appears as deputy from Piscataway to the general assembly of East Jersey in 1696-1697.
"Is all safe, husband?" "I think so. Mr. Oldtower is elected HE must fly the country." "Then she is saved." "Let us hope she is. Come, my darling!" and he wrapped his arm round her, for she was shivering. "We have done all we could and must wait the rest. Come home. Oh!" with a lifted look and a closer strain, "thank God for home!" We always rose early at Longfield.
No, we cannot take in anybody else at Longfield." "But we may have to leave Longfield." The boys here turned to listen; for this question had already been mooted, as all family questions were. In our house we had no secrets: the young folk, being trusted, were ever trustworthy; and the parents, clean-handed and pure-hearted, had nothing that they were afraid to tell their children.
Phineas, you are the one for remembering dates. What year was it we came to Longfield?" "Eighteen hundred and twelve. Thirteen years ago." "Ah, so long!" "Not too long," said Mrs. Halifax, earnestly. "I hope we may end our days here. Do not you, John?" He paused a little before answering. "Yes, I wish it; but I am not sure how far it would be right to do it."
The first column was led by Brigadier Nicholson; the second by Brigadier Jones; the third by Colonel Campbell; and the fourth, or reserve, by Brigadier Longfield. The powder-bags were laid at the Cashmere gate by Lieutenants Home and Salkeld. The explosion followed, and the third column rushed in, and pushed toward the Jumna Musjid.
For with all the necessary improvements at Longfield, with the large settlement that John insisted upon making on his wife and children, before he would use in his business any portion of her fortune, we found we were by no means so rich as to make any great change in our way of life advisable.
After a pause he said: "Should you be very much disappointed if if we do not go to Longfield after all?" "Not go to Longfield!" The involuntary exclamation showed how deep her longing had been. "Because I am afraid it is hard, I know but I am afraid we cannot manage it. Are you very sorry?" "Yes," she said frankly and truthfully. "Not so much for myself, but the children."
So, with a brief information to me at supper-time "Uncle Phineas, did you hear? we cannot go to Longfield," the renunciation was made, and the subject ended. For this year, at least, our Arcadian dream was over. But John's troubled looks did not pass away.
"I know it," said Westerfelt, putting the revolver into his pocket; "but he'll not try it to-night." "No, I think he's gone fer good," said Longfield. "I guess he'll make fer Texas." At a point where two roads crossed a few yards ahead of them, Westerfelt parted with the three men. They went back up the mountain, and he rode slowly homeward.
We found we could manage the Longfield visit ay, and a horse for John to ride to and fro without any worse sacrifice than that of leaving Jenny now Mrs. Jem Watkins, but our cook still in the house at Norton Bury, and doing with one servant instead of two.
