The best description which he could get of this man, tallied precisely with that of Myndert Van Quintem, jr. But Overtop, with that discretion which was continually enlarging his circle of paying practice, said nothing of this to the old gentleman.
It was while Myndert was not put to work, that he behaved so well. But when the farmer gave him a little hoe, and asked him to grub up a few weeds in the garden, the lad threw it down, and said to the farmer, 'I hate you. This was his favorite expression to those who aroused his displeasure when a child.
I feared, my dear father, after what had occurred, that you could not bear the sight of me. Therefore I kept away from your bedside." "That is a lame excuse, Myndert," replied the father. He spoke in a voice intended to be audible to Marcus Wilkeson. A gleam in the son's sunken eyes, and a new pallor on his bloated cheeks, indicated his displeasure at the turn which this conversation was taking.
'Tis a spot on the escutcheon of the crown, that all loyal subjects must feel desirous to efface, and so small an effort would effect the object, too, with certain Mr. Alderman Myndert Van Beverout ?" "My Lord, late Governor," returned the other, observing that his companion hesitated. "What think you of this Hanoverian settlement? Shall a German wear the crown of a Plantagenet?"

"Noah's Ark, and our grandmothers!" exclaimed Myndert, appearing at the door with a face red with his exertions.
Myndert descended to the quarter-deck, and having deliberately deposited his coat on the capstan, replaced his wig by a handkerchief, and tightened the buckle that did the office of suspenders, he squinted along the guns, with a certain air that served to assure the spectators he had at least no dread of the recoil.
"Having decided to educate him for the law the only profession that he did not hold in contempt I procured a place for him in the office of Mulroy, Biggup & Lartimore, an excellent firm with whom I had had some dealings. "Myndert entered upon his study of the profession with such ardor, that I was obliged to caution him against ruining his health.
