Indeed, it is said he would be quite certain of this honour, were it not that his friend and rival Oliver Greenfield, who is standing there against the wall, with his head resting on a map of Greece, is also in for it. Greenfield does not strike one as nearly so brilliant a fellow as his friend. He is quieter and more lazy, and more solemn.
On the main street near the river is a fine bronze statue of Oliver Cromwell, one of four that I saw erected to the memory of the Protector in England. Our route from Warrington led through Wigan and Preston, manufacturing cities of nearly one hundred thousand each, and the suburbs of the three are almost continuous.
Oliver. "Good morning," he said. "Did you wish to see me?" "No-o," stammered Sarah, "I didn't. But Miss Ames sent me." Mr. Oliver sat down and pointed to a chair drawn up beside the desk. "Suppose you come and sit down and tell me all about it," he suggested.
At last, as Oliver and Nathan were drawing through the outer door a small heap of loose snow, which they had gathered up from the floor of the inner room, Rollo followed them, shouting, as they emerged from the fort, "Done, boys, done! Hurrah for Iceberg Castle!" "I wish Jonas was here now," said Oliver; "but I suppose it will be two or three hours before he can come down."
"I think what I think," replies the Colonel, with his stern look; "but whatever happens, it is not likely, it seems me, that we shall have our prisoners here much longer. That is to say: Mrs. Greenville, for what she hath done can scarcely be distasteful to those who loved not Oliver. But for my other bird, who can tell? He may have raised the very Devil for aught I know."
She saw not that the stripling had become a worn and elderly man, she recked not how he came. He was Oliver, and she had him again! What was the rest to her? Those words? They might be out of taste, but Fitzjocelyn guessed that to speak them at the first meeting had been the vision of Oliver's life the object to which he had sacrificed everything. And yet how chill and unheeded they fell!
He also brought a letter to Hamilton from one of the commission, with a copy of the document and a journal of the proceedings of the negotiators. The writer was Oliver Ellsworth, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Adams might occupy the chair of State, but to the Federals Hamilton was President in all but name.
It was the notion of three tramps, three deadbeats, visiting a California mining-camp, and imposing themselves upon the innocent miners as respectively Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Oliver Wendell, Holmes.
"Look you here, Sir Cardinal!" said she; "the thing which the king likes is not to receive the holy oils." Then came Oliver le Daim, whom she would not listen to either, and to whose nonsense she replied, that she would ask the king if he wished her to be shaved.
Anything to put it off, that was really all I was capable of. To me, in my recess, Margaret came one morning. "I thought you'd gone out, Oliver," she began. "No," said I. "I altered my mind, and thought I'd like reading better." "You puzzle me. Are you quite well?" "As fit as a fiddle," said I cheerily, and rose to give her my seat, for the recess would only hold one. "You're not to move, sir."
