"I'd not load one of them with a wild, impecunious Irishman like myself." "Then what?" says Pinckney. "Also where, and whither?" "Bulgaroo," says Larry, wavin' vague into space. "Is that a form of self-destruction?" asks Pinckney. "Almost," says Larry. "It's the nearest town to Sir Horace Vaughn's No. 6 sheep ranch.
Rachel's the same, and I'm just going now to the kitchen to give them a talking to all round." Off she went. "I know what that means," said Pinckney. "It's only once in a couple of years that there's any trouble with servants and then oh, my! You see Aunt Maria is not the same as other people because she loves every one dearly, and looks on the servants as part of the family.
He seemed so bright and cheerful, and the relief at finding a friend after that long, friendless journey was so great that she laughed right out with pleasure, like a little child laughed right into his eyes. It seemed to Pinckney that he had never seen the real Phyl before.
I therefore nominate Charles Pinckney to be minister plenipotentiary, and James Monroe, of Virginia, to be minister extraordinary and plenipotentiary, with full powers to both jointly, or to either on the death of the other, to enter into a treaty or convention with His Catholic Majesty for the purpose of enlarging and more effectually securing our rights and interests in the river Mississippi and in the Territories eastward thereof.
As Washington's administration grew steadily in strength and in the confidence of the people the first condition was met. The necessary fixity of boundary was finally obtained by the treaties negotiated through John Jay with England, and through Thomas Pinckney with Spain. Jay's Treaty. Jay's treaty aroused a perfect torrent of wrath throughout the country, and nowhere more than in the West.
In the same convention, Charles Pinckney, a man of great sagacity, spoke of the equal representation of large and small States as a matter of slight consequence; no difficulties, he said, would ever arise on that point; the question would always be between the slaveholding and non-slaveholding interests.

The jagged shadows of the cedar-branches played across the surface, but by the uncertain light he could read the name "Imogen Pinckney," and below it the inscription, "Wir hoffen auf Wiedersehen." "You're wanted at 248, and they said go quick. It's Brita, I shouldn't wonder.
I'll get Dinah to do your hair, something simple and not too grown-up you don't mind an old woman telling you this do you?" "Indeed I don't," said Phyl. "I don't care how my hair is done, you can cut it off if you like, but I don't want to go to parties." "Well, maybe you don't," said Miss Pinckney, "but, all the same, we'll get Dinah to look to your hair.
She closed up her lips and they went on. Phyl found her father's grave in a quiet spot where the live-oaks stood, the long grey moss hanging from their branches. Miss Pinckney, having pointed out the grave, strayed off, leaving the girl to herself. The gloomy, strange-looking trees daunted Phyl, and the grave, too young yet to have a headstone, drew her towards it, yet repelled her.
She went upstairs to change and the two young people went into the garden, where Richard Pinckney was having some alterations done. On the day Phyl's hair went up it seemed to Richard that a new person had come to live with them. Phyl had suddenly turned into a young woman and such a young woman!
