RANDOLPH'S motion, so as to make "blacks equal to the whites in the ratio of representation." This, he urged was nothing more than justice. The blacks are the laborers, the peasants, of the Southern States. They are as productive of pecuniary resources as those of the Northern States. They add equally to the wealth, and, considering money as the sinew of war, to the strength, of the nation.
"I suppose, Randolph," he said, "if you win the watch you will give it to me?" "Why should I?" asked Randolph, surveying Tom with a cold glance. "You've got a nice silver watch yourself, you know." "I might like to have two watches." "You'll have the ten dollars your father promised you." "What if I have? What claim have you on me?" Tom drew near and whispered something in Randolph's ear.
Her accomplishment of this first breathlessly exciting task would be a thing, when it was achieved, that she could recount to him well, as man to man. Her success, if she succeeded and the alternative was something she wouldn't contemplate would compel the same sort of respect from him that he accorded to a diagnosis of James Randolph's, or an article of Barry Lake's.
Randolph's arm had slipped from Daisy, and Daisy slipped away from her mother's sofa to the table; where she dipped sponge biscuits in milk and wondered at other people's Sundays. A weight seemed settling down on her heart.
"So it is indeed; but I shouldn't, perhaps, have said anything about it, only the teapot you've got in your hand now was my dear old mother's brewery, and that set me thinking and talking about it." It was not their host's fault, nor Mr John Randolph's, who acted as joint entertainer, if their guests did not make a hearty tea.
One feature of importance is the comic character Graculus, who is well fooled by the pretended satyrs, and has an amusing though coarse part in prose. He seems to owe his origin to the broad humours of the vulgar stage, though he may be in a measure imitated from the roguish pages of Lyly, and so be the forerunner of Randolph's Dorylas.
Randolph's at Tuckahoe, where three country peasants, who came upon business, entered the room where the Colonel and his company were sitting, took themselves chairs, drew near the fire, began spitting, pulling off their country boots all over mud, and then opened their business, which was simply about some continental flour to be ground at the Colonel's mill: When they were gone, some one observed what great liberties they took; he replied it was unavoidable, the spirit of independence was converted into equality, and every one who bore arms, esteemed himself upon a footing with his neighbor, and concluded by saying; 'No doubt, each of these men conceives himself, in every respect, my equal."
"Papa I wish I could die!" was the answer of the child's agony. "Do you mean that you will not obey her, Daisy?" "How can I, papa? how can I!" exclaimed Daisy. "Do you think that song is so very bad, Daisy?" "No, papa, it is very good for other days; but it is not holy." Her accent struck strangely upon Mr. Randolph's ear; and sudden contrasts rushed together oddly in his mind.
Not knowing anything of Sir Donald Randolph's present address or plans, Oswald writes him at Paris. Being very curious as to the Lanier affair, and to avoid delay, he addresses copies to Calcutta and to Sir Donald's Northfield station.
He trotted along without seeming to mind the sun; and Daisy in a good deal of glee enjoyed everything. It was private glee in her own mind; she did not offer any conversation; and the doctor, of Mr. Randolph's mind, perhaps, that it was a warm day, threw himself back in his seat and watched her lazily. Daisy on the contrary sat up and looked busily out.
