Ethel had known of this from Nourse. And now probing by her questions as to details here and there, with Nourse helping at her side, she revealed Joe's weakness to himself. A scared angry look came into his eyes. Stubbornly he worked on and on, but the thing would not come as it used to!
Sarah Cloyse, understanding the allusion to be to Nourse, who was her sister, went out of church, and was accordingly cried out upon, examined, and committed. Elizabeth Procter was another person charged. The Deputy-Governor and five magistrates came to Salem for the examination of the two prisoners last named. Procter appealed to one of the children who was accusing her.
No wonder Joe's ideals had died, with such a man in his office. "What a pity you're his partner," her manner plainly said to him, for she was not good at hiding dislikes. And to that his gloomy eyes rejoined, "What a damned shame it you were his wife." But Nourse did not come again.
Nourse, the bookseller, who was the proprietor of the work, upon being applied to by Sir John Pringle, agreed very handsomely to have the leaf on which it was contained cancelled, and re-printed without it, at his own expence. BOSWELL. In the second edition, published five years after Goldsmith's death, the story remains.
Joe wants the money just as hard, but he's plainly jarred by some of the jobs. He even fought his press agent last week!" One night Joe suggested awkwardly: "Suppose we try Bill Nourse again. Let me bring him home to dinner, I mean. He isn't especially cheery, God knows but he seems so damnably lonely this fall." "Very well, dear if you want to," she sighed.
Joe was just the kind of a man, as Amy had told her sister, to make a big sudden success of his work. Unfortunately he was tied to a partner, Nourse by name, who held him back. This man Amy keenly disliked. She said that Nourse was a perfect grind, a heavy tiresome creature who thought business was everything in the world.
She looked at him in a questioning way. "Of us," he explained, "Joe's old friends, who are to dig him up, you know." "Only you, at present and of course his partner. He smiled: "Bill Nourse is not a very brisk digger." "Well," she remarked, in a casual tone, "if you know of brisker diggers about people who knew him " "Say no more. I'll search the town." Their eyes had met for an instant.
Nourse looked down at his big hands and answered very quietly: "I'm afraid you wouldn't understand." She bit her lip. "But until I do learn what you want of Joe," she retorted sharply, "I'm afraid that I can't tell you how much money I shall need." He glanced up at her, puzzled. "Suppose you try me," she went on.
But Captain Carrington, who thought light winds and smooth water a good opportunity for practice, interrupted him as he was walking towards the weather gangway "Mr Nourse, Mr Nourse, if you please, I'll work the ship." "Very good, sir," replied the first lieutenant, handing him the speaking-trumpet. "Tacks and sheets!" cried the captain.
We are much pleased with our host and his family. He is that Capt. Nathan Barrett to whom Messrs. Pratt and Brown came for seed, and who raises a good deal of seed for Ruggles, Nourse and Mason. We go into all work. The Captain turns us out with the oxen and plough, and we do our best. Already I have learned a good deal. The men are very courteous and generous.
