They made mirth, but I and others were ashamed of it. Thence to the 'Change and thence home to dinner, and thence to the office a good while, and thence to the Council chamber at White Hall to speake with Sir G. Carteret, and here by accident heard a great and famous cause between Sir G. Lane and one Mr. Phill.
"Did you look at the outside of it, I mean Harriet?" "No, Miss Phill, I didn't look neider at de outside, nor de inside; I's not dat kind; I look at Mass'r Richard's face. Bless you, Miss Phill! Mass'r Richard kaint hide nothing. If he was in love Harriet would know it, quick as a flash " "I think not, Harriet." "Den I tell you something, Miss Phill.
He thought Mass'r Richard would gib him a quarter, mebbe a half-dollar." "Did you think so, also, Harriet?" "Dem's de house perquisites, Miss Phill. Moke has nothin' 't all to do wid de house perquisites." "Moke has been sick, has he not?" "Had de fever, he says." "Is he not one of your classmates? I think I have heard you say he was 'a powerful member' of Uncle Isaac's class."
Cassie never do fix de curtains right; she's not got de hang ob dem, Miss Phill; so I jist made up my mind to do 'em myself; and while I was busy as a honey-bee 'bout dem, Mass'r Richard, he walk proud-like up to Mass'r John, and say, 'he want to speak a few words wid him. Den I kind ob open my ears, case, Miss Phill, when gen'lemen want to 'say a few words, dey're most ob de time onpleasant ones."
I was 'stonished dis afternoon, Miss Phill, he took Mass'r Richard's worryin' dat quiet-like; but I could see de bearin's ob things mighty plain." "You heard the quarrel, then, Harriet?" "Couldn't help hearin' ob it, Miss Phill, no way; 'case I right thar. I was in de dinin'-room fixin' up de clean window curtains, and de young gen'lemen were on de p'azza.
"Den when Mass'r Richard gits one of dem letters, he sits so quiet-like, thinking and smiling to himself, and ef you speak to him, he answers you kind ob far-away, and gentle. I done tried him often. But he didn't look like dat at all when he git de letter dis morning. Mass'r Richard got powerful high temper, Miss Phill." "Then take care and not anger him, Harriet."
She looked at Phyllis's closed eyes, and with a smile went here and there laying out clean white muslins, and knots of pink ribbons, and all the pretty accessories of a young maiden's evening toilet. "Thar now, Miss Phill! I'se ready and I 'spects thar's some good news for you, honey!" Phyllis opened her eyes. "I heard you, Harriet. I was not asleep.
I wouldn't trust de Bishop wid no rifle ef dar was any fightin' gwine on 'bout whar he was. De Bishop! He's jist de same as all de rest, Miss Phill. Dar, honey! here's de chicken and de coffee; don't you spile your appetite frettin' 'bout any of dem." "I wish Master Richard was home." "No wonder; for dar isn't a mite ob certainty 'bout his 'tentions.
Prince done tried himself wid Mass'r Richard 'fore dis, and he allus come in de stable meek as a lamb. When Mass'r Richard's got dat dumb debil in him, he'd ride a ragin' lion, and bring him home like a lamb." "It's not that, Harriet; it's not that. But if he meet Master John there will be trouble and O, the sin of it." "Dat am true as preachin', Miss Phill." "If I could only see John Millard."
"I say it is impossible in law, as Sir R. Phillimore, 1 Phill., International Law, vol. 1, p. 316, has said in a passage I read with the most respectful concurrence, but too long for full quotation." "It is unnecessary for me to trace how it became the Common Law of England that whosoever breathes the air of England cannot be a slave."
