Wetherell asked me: "Have you ever been to the beach?" I told him, "Yes, and I enjoyed it." He said: "I always liked to go, but Mis' Wetherell has a dread of the water, ever since her brother Judson was drowned." "Was he a sailor?" I asked. "Yes, he was a sea-capt'n. He married a Philadelphy woman, and they sailed in the brig Florilla. She was wrecked on the coast of Ireland.
He resented them as intruders, and felt that their well-dressed air and alert, business-like manner was an insult to departed fortunes. "What they come fer?" he used to grumble. "Takin' away trade an' business when they ain't none left for de proper people nohow. How's we gwine ter live if all New York City an' Bos'n an' Philadelphy pours in?"
Numerous stops were made, and long before Philadelphia was gained the train became crowded. "Nice day for riding," said a man who sat down beside our hero. He looked to be what he was, a prosperous farmer. "It is," answered Joe. "Goin' to Philadelphy, I reckon," went on the farmer. "Yes, sir." "That's where I'm going, too. Got a little business to attend to."
Whether or not this knowledge was new to his host the uncertain light of the dying fire upon that grave, impassive face did not disclose. "An' now," Kerry went on, "I've been thinkin' about Katy a heap in the last few days. I'm goin' home to her to-morry home to Philadelphy goin' with empty hands.
I always laugh over a customer of mine in Cincinnati who always insists he must have 'a leetle adwantage. The boys on the road like Old Pap and laugh over his 'leetle adwantage. He says: 'I must haf a leetle adwantage ofer New York and Philadelphy. They ton't pay no freight.
He's been to the circus, though; his father took him to it at Wheeling that time when he went on the steamboat. I wisht I could go to a circus." "Well, maybe you kin when you grow up. Circuses ain't everything." "No," the boy relucted. "Benny says the New Jerusalem will be a good deal like the circus. That's the reason he coaxed his father to let him go. Is Philadelphy as far as Wheeling?"
The "Lucy Ann" has adopted a new style of Binnakle light, in the shape of a red-headed girl, who sits up over the compass. It works well. The artist I spoke about in my larst has returned to Philadelphy. Before he left I took his lily-white hand in mine.
She was awful down on Phineas that's his name 'cause he married a Philadelphy woman, but he's a widower man now, so I s'pose she feels better toward him. She's talkin' of goin' up to Sandwich pretty soon." "She IS? Alone?" "So she says." "To leave you here? Why! well, I'm surprised."
"Well, that 'ere perjury made me feel uncomfortable; and what with having sworn vengeance on Clapp and Hopgood, I made up my mind to go straight back to Philadelphy, and turn state's evidence. I was waiting for a chance to get to New York when I saw you on the wharf at Nantucket, and I knew you in a minute."
When Benjamin arrived in New York, John Collins was waiting there for him, but it was John Collins drunk. "Waitin' for you, Ben, old fellow," said John, patting him on the back, too much under the power of drink to know exactly what the said or did. "Goin' to Philadelphy; come on." Benjamin was taken by surprise, and scarcely knew what to say.
