Captain Pardee!" interrupted Mrs. Le Moyne quickly. "Isn't Marblehead near Cape Cod?" "Yes, madam." "And Buzzard's Bay?" "Certainly." "No wonder," said she, laughing, "that you wanted Hetty to leave before you opened your budget. Do pray run away, child, before you hear any more to our discredit. Hesden, do please escort your cousin out of the room," she added, in assumed distress.
Although our dear departed brother, Elder Pardee Butler, was never classed with the Garrisonian Abolitionists, he began his ministerial life when the demands of the South were being felt in all the North, both in church and State. If slavery could not be advocated by the Northern conscience it must at least be ignored by all candidates for popular favor.
"In appearance, madam," said Pardee carelessly, "I should say she much resembled yourself at her age." "Oh, Captain, you flatter me, I'm sure," she answered, with just a hint of a sneer. "Well, what is her name, and when does she wish to take possession?" "Her name, madam, you must excuse me if I withhold for the present.
I told her that father was coming in the morning, as he had said; that Mr. Joseph Pardee said, we could stay with him while we were building. I told her I was glad we came, how nice the land was, what a fine country it would be in a few years, and, with other comforting words, said, if we lived, I would take her back in a few years, to visit her old home. The next morning father and Mr.
Le Moyne, reclining on her beautifully decorated couch, received him pleasantly, exclaiming, "You will see how badly off I am for company, Captain Pardee, when I assure you that I am glad to see even a lawyer with such a bundle of papers as you have brought.
After her death, his mother and his child seemed easily and naturally to fill his heart. He had admired Mollie Ainslie from the first. His attention had been first particularly directed to her accomplishments and attractions by the casual conversation with Pardee in reference to her, and by the fact that the horse she rode was his old favorite.
"Why, what's the matter? He wont hurt you," said one of the boys. "Oh! Pardee Butler! He bad man. Oh! Oh!" he answered, still dancing and gesticulating. "Oh, no; he is not a bad man; he never hurt anybody in his life." "Oh, yees, Pardee Butler one veree bad man! He must be one bad man, 'cause they put heem down the river on one raft, down in Kansas. Pardee Butler must be one veree bad man!"
But beyond us are parched and desert sands, poisonous serpents, savage wild beasts and mortal enemies. All these must be conquered before we finally rest in the happy Canaan. It is now conceded by the best informed actors in this great drama or tragedy, that Pardee Butler, as much or more than any one man, made the prohibition movement in Kansas the marvelous success it is.
Father was so busy preaching in other places, that he only preached occasionally in Pardee. He has sometimes been accused of preaching politics.
I had lost all interest in the wretch, and it did not fix itself in my memory something like Pardee. The woman whose throat he had the bad taste to cut was a widow when he met her. She had come to California to look up some relatives there are persons who will do that sometimes. But you know all that." "Naturally."
