Though Nicholas had "lost himself" that night, he had kept time for thought; and perhaps he realized how precious a thing it is to lay up treasure of inheritance for one who loves us, and is truly of our kind. He turned quite meekly to the doctor. "Should you think," he inquired, "should you think pa'son would be up an' dressed?" Ten minutes thereafter, the two were knocking at the parson's door.
In this parish the first time in Welland church for twenty years. As I say, I had told 'em that he was confirmed the same year that I went up to have it done, as I have very good cause to mind. When we went to be examined, the pa'son said to me, "Rehearse the articles of thy belief." Mr.
It was done, of course, that her son AEneas, under any circumstances, should be master o' the property, without folk knowen it was her son or suspecting anything, as they would if it had been left to en straightway. 'A clever arrangement! And what was the exception? 'The payment of a legacy to her relative, Pa'son Raunham.
'In short, except o' Sundays and at tide-times in the week, Pa'son Billy was the life o' the Hunt. 'Tis true that he was poor, and that he rode all of a heap, and that his black mare was rat-tailed and old, and his tops older, and all over of one colour, whitey-brown, and full o' cracks. But he'd been in at the death of three thousand foxes.
But the mumps subsided, and the minister gained strength; so, being public-spirited men, these two at once concerned themselves in village affairs. The first thing the minister did was to call on Nicholas Oldfield, and Young Nick's Hattie saw him there, knocking at the front door. "Mary! Mary!" cried she, "if there ain't the young pa'son over to your grandpa's.
"What," says the pa'son, with a great breath of relief, "you haven't been here ever since?" "Yes, we have, sir!" says the bride, sinking down upon a seat in her weakness. "Not a morsel, wet or dry, have we had since! It was impossible to get out without help, and here we've stayed!" "But why didn't you shout, good souls?" said the pa'son. "She wouldn't let me," says Andrey.
So, forgetting that he had meant to go back at once, away rides the pa'son with the rest o' the hunt, all across the fallow ground that lies between Lippet Wood and Green's Copse; and as he galloped he looked behind for a moment, and there was the clerk close to his heels. "Ha, ha, clerk you here?" he says. "Yes, sir, here be I," says t'other. "Fine exercise for the horses!"
An' he tuk off his hat an' say, 'Thank the Lord, this will heal the breach an' make ye frien's! An' I say, 'Edzacly, pa'son, ef it air Abs'lom's deathbed; but them Kittredges air so smilin' an' deceiv-in' I be powerful feared he'll cheat the King o' Terrors himself. I'll forgive 'em ennything over his grave?" "Pa'son war tuk toler'ble suddint in his temper," said the literal Steve.
I wonder how you could think of bringing him here drunk like this!" "But if if he don't come drunk he won't come at all, sir!" she says, through her sobs. "I can't help that," says the pa'son; and plead as she might, it did not move him. Then she tried him another way.
No sooner was he gone than the clerk mounted the cob, and was off after him. When the pa'son got to the meet, he found a lot of friends, and was as jolly as he could be: the hounds found a'most as soon as they threw off, and there was great excitement.
