"Of course you can ask one question, or even two, but you can't fire broadsides at us in that fashion. Remember that we have weak hearts." "And our constitutions are not strong," added Morse. "Oh, you be hanged!" murmured George. "If you can't " "Oh, come along!" invited Tom, catching him by the arm. "We're going to town. It's Morse's treat. Yes, George, I did have a bang-up time on my vacation.
He mentioned his anxiety to Molly, asking her if by any means she could help him. "I did tell her I'd write to you," said Molly. Morse's face fell. "She's a stubborn little piece," he declared presently. "Theo's in love with her all right." "You don't really mean that!" stammered Molly, her heart thumping.
Morse's wife and his daughter and other ladies had been present during the speeches, but they began to take their leave after Mr. Huntington's address, although the toastmaster arose to announce the last toast, which was "The Ladies." So he said: "This is the most inspiring theme of all, but the theme itself seems to be vanishing from us.
In the letters of the year 1817 and of several following years, even in the letters of the young man to his fiancée, many long references are made to this pump and to the varying success in introducing it into general use.

It was so great a delight to the child who knew little of country pleasures to be called away from some task or commonplace "every-day" pastime and to be told that there was an invitation to spend an afternoon, or perhaps several days, at Professor Morse's place, "Locust Grove."
I leave this evening for Washington and should be much obliged if you would address me a line to that place. Most truly and respectfully yours M.C. PERRY. It was about this time that the testimony of Professor Joseph Henry was being increasingly used by Morse's opponents to discredit him in the scientific world and to injure his cause in the courts.
But still other rival companies built lines, using various forms of apparatus, and though the courts repeatedly upheld Morse's patent rights, the pirating was not effectively checked. The telegraph had come to be a necessity and the original company lacked the capital to construct lines with sufficient rapidity to meet the need.
Among Morse's friends in London during the period of his student years, were Coleridge, Rogers, Lamb, and others whose names are familiar ones in the literary world.
