Prescott, the hero of Breed Hill, was now a veteran soldier; and the names of Artemas Ward, of Schuyler, of Pomeroy, Heath and Thomas, Sullivan and Montgomery, Wooster and Spencer were becoming more than mere names to Englishmen in Boston and in London.
He thought it possible and even likely that the girl, dazzled by his title, would be willing to take the young sprig of nobility. And the influence of the Doyley family was great. He shook his head therefore, and Mr. Pomeroy rebuffed, solaced himself with a couple of glasses of punch. After that, Mr.
Amazing to record, Miss Pomeroy and Miss Leigh the two principal ladies still remained the very best of friends. During rehearsals Shafto and his "niece" exchanged a good deal of dialogue that was not in the piece thanks partly to Mrs. Milward's introductions and revelations, and partly to a mutual attraction, they now knew one another rather well.
'They that have used the office of a deacon well, purchase to themselves a good degree, Paul wrote to Timothy once; but it's not so now, it's not so now; preferment goes by favour, and the deacon must e'en shift as best he can on his own account. So, in the end, Arthur packed up his surplice in his little handbag, and took his way peacefully down to Calcombe Pomeroy.
