Prince George, as admiral, was assisted by a council, consisting of sir George Rooke, sir David Mitch el, George Churchill, and Richard Hill. Though the legality of this board was doubted, the parliament had such respect and veneration for the queen, that it was suffered to act without question. A rivalship for the queen's favour already appeared between the earls of Rochester and Marlborough.
Then about eleven o'clock grandma came into the settin' room with apples to peel, and ma helped her and they began to talk and it was wonderful to listen, for it was about Mitch and Zueline.
The judge got on the bench and said, "You may proceed, Mr. States Attorney." My pa turned around and looked down in the audience, and said in a loud voice, "Mitchell Miller, take the witness stand, please." I was knocked over. Here was Tom Sawyer right over again. Mitch was goin' to testify. What on earth did he know? He'd never told me a word. Mitch was dreadful pale, and so was Mr. Miller.
And "Babylon is Fallin'" was another of his songs, and "Angel Gabriel." Mitch would rather be around where Nigger Dick was than any one. He almost laughed himself sick that mornin'. Well, we told Nigger Dick about catchin' Doc Lyon; and we took him around to where I had been let down by the sheet, and showed him how I had run and jumped the fence to get away.
"Do you mean somethin' 's goin' to happen, to you or me, Mitch?" "Well, nothin' like drownin' or dyin'," said Mitch. "I don't get it that way. But I just feel we'll never dig any more at Old Salem." "But we ain't finished there," says I. "That may be," he says, "but to-morrow is Sunday, and I've always noticed that the next week after Sunday ain't the same."
Just then a wagon came along, and I hollered to the man; so he came over and lifted Mitch into the wagon and laid him down, and we put the snake into the wagon too, for I had carried it along; and the man whipped up his horses fast so as to get into town for a doctor.
My pa was cryin', so was I. So was Mr. Miller, and just then the train came in, the same that had killed Mitch, and it seemed like none of us could stand it. After a bit pa says: "Of course, half of this money goes to you and Mrs. Miller under the law, and the other half belongs to Skeet but I'm not going to let him take it. He doesn't need it.
It couldn't be done, because it had to be weighed and tested and tried out, and put on the market; for you might say some of it was rubies, and to know what rubies are worth takes experience and time and a lot of things." Mitch got more and more interested and I did too. Then the old feller went on.
I began to hear the sound of a fiddle, and a lot of laughin'; so Mitch and me edged around the deck till we got toward the front right under the little cupola where the wheel was, where the captain stood when the boat was runnin'. And there sat a lot of men, the captain and several others, with some glasses and beer bottles; and a white-haired man, his name was Col.
Then we had dinner, and Mitch was readin' that novel while eatin', and grandma kept sayin', "Eat your dinner, Mitch." He did eat, but he was behind the rest of us. We helped grandma with the dishes. Then she said, "You boys clear out while I take a rest. And after while I'll show you some things."
