To be sure, Miss Scudder, there's no real need of my doing it, for I must say you keep him looking like a pink, but only I feel as if I must do something for such a good man." The good Doctor was brushed up for the evening with zealous care and energy; and if he did not look like a pink, it was certainly no fault of his hostess.
The Doctor went immediately to his study and put on his best coat and his wig, and, surmounting them by his cocked hat, walked manfully out of the house, with his gold-headed cane in his hand. "There he goes!" said Mrs. Scudder, looking regretfully after him. "He is such a good man! but he has not the least idea how to get along in the world.
Scudder had received and kept this veneration as a precious legacy. Then, although not handsome, the Doctor had decidedly a grand and imposing appearance. There was nothing common or insignificant about him.
You see, they want the Doctor to get married; it seems more comfortable-like to have ministers married; one feels more free to open their exercises of mind; and as Miss Deacon Twitchel said to me, 'If the Lord had made a woman o' purpose, as he did for Adam, he wouldn't have made her a bit different from Mary Scudder. Why, the oldest of us would follow her lead, 'cause she goes before us without knowing it."
Marvyn started as if a sword had pierced her, passed her arm round Mary's waist, with a strong, nervous clasp, unlike her usual calm self, and said, "Stay with me, daughter, to-day! stay with me!" "Mary can stay as long as you wish, cousin," said Mrs. Scudder; "we have nothing to call her home." "Come with me!" said Mrs.
Sometimes, in simple straw hat and white wrapper, she would lie down in the grass under the apple-trees, or join Mary in an expedition to the barn for hen's eggs, or a run along the sea-beach for shells; and her childish eagerness and delight on these occasions used to arouse the unqualified astonishment of Mrs. Katy Scudder.
Some such forms may have been introduced late in the Silurian period, for the interesting discoveries of fossil insects in the Devonian of New Brunswick, by Messrs. Hartt and Scudder, and those discovered by Messrs. Meek and Worthen in the lower part of the Coal Measures at Morris, Illinois, and described by Mr. John by Mr. Scudder, are nearly as highly organized as our grasshoppers and May flies.
I allow the Coquette to be a lively boat on a wind, and a real scudder going large; but one should know the wright that fashioned yonder brigantine, before he ventures to say that any vessel in Her Majesty's fleet can hold way with her, when she is driven hard." "These opinions, Trysail, are fitter for the tales of a top, than for the mouth of one who walks the quarter-deck."
The violent throbbings of her heart could be seen undulating the long hair as the moaning sea tosses the rockweed. "My daughter," again said Mrs. Scudder. Mary gave a great sigh, like that of a sleeper awakening from a dream, and, looking at her mother, said, "Do you suppose he really loves me, mother?" "Indeed he does, Mary, as much as man ever loved woman!"
I went out to dinner with a mining engineer I had got to see on business, and came back about half-past ten in time for our game of chess before turning in. I had a cigar in my mouth, I remember, as I pushed open the smoking-room door. The lights were not lit, which struck me as odd. I wondered if Scudder had turned in already. I snapped the switch, but there was nobody there.
