If I was in better odor with the Colonel, I would introduce you; but come on." Smith and Jones did not "come on" at the instant, and what they caught from the two officers was the following: "Not one in a week?" asked the Colonel, in a tone mingling surprise and anger. "Not one? D n it!" "I am sorry to say, not one," was the reply of Captain Lowndes. "They nearly all sing the same tune, however."
This was not very convincing to the assembly, most of the members knowing full well that the fabric had not stood the test of time, but had already tumbled in by reason of its vicious construction. A more effective plea was that which referred to the slave-trade. "What cause is there," said Lowndes, "for jealousy of our importing negroes? Why confine us to twenty years? Why limit us at all?
At that they were silent for an instant, and then the two broke into a laugh. "Egad, Lowndes," said the gentleman, "here is a fine mystery. Do you think the boy is lying?" The other gentleman scratched his forehead. "I'll have you know I don't lie, sir," I said, ready to cry. "No," said the other gentleman.
The report was made by Langdon Cheves of South Carolina, whose clear and cogent exposition of the capabilities of the country and the possibility of providing a force efficient against Great Britain, under her existing embarrassments, was supported powerfully and perspicuously by William Lowndes of the same state.
Lowndes, and several other Carolinians, yet we are wholly ignorant of your position. No one ever heard of Yaahanee. I suspect it to be some Mohawk word, which T. B. A. has been pleased to retain and apply a very pretty name, I acknowledge.
And this was her plan: To go first to Phil's aunt, Mrs. Baynes, and, failing information there, to Irene herself. She had no clear notion of what she would gain by these visits. At three o'clock she was in Lowndes Square. With a woman's instinct when trouble is to be faced, she had put on her best frock, and went to the battle with a glance as courageous as old Jolyon's itself.
Lowndes, Calhoun, Clay, and Troup were little more than thirty years of age, and yet they became prominent leaders of their party, exercising a controlling influence over the public mind, and shaping the policy of the Government. Crawford was the Mentor of this ardent band of lofty spirits stimulating and checking, as occasion might require, the energies and actions of his young compeers.
Lucy and Paul could see him plainly and each felt a little shiver of aversion. But neither said anything and, in truth, standing in the dark by themselves they were not noticed by the others. "I'm going outside," repeated Lowndes in a yet more noisy tone, "and if I run across anything more than a deer I'll be mighty badly fooled!"
'Summer evenings in the country, stained-glass window, light going out, and you and she jamming your heads together over one hymn-book, said Mottram. 'Yes, and a fat old cockchafer hitting you in the eye when you walked home. Smell of hay, and a moon as big as a bandbox sitting on the top of a haycock; bats, roses, milk and midges, said Lowndes. 'Also mothers.
Some of my boyish motives come back to me now: I should be near Nick; and even at that age, having lived a life of self-reliance, I thought of gaining an education and of rising to a place of trust. Yes, I would go to Mr. Lowndes, and ask him to let me work for him and so earn my education. With a heavy spirit I crept out of bed, slowly disengaging Nick's arm lest he should wake.
