"Maybe you will when you grow older." "I wish I could help you better," I said. "Help me? Why, I am quite satisfied with you, my boy. You help me a great deal. There, put away those books, and let us have some supper. I find we have nearly eight thousand ounces of silver down below here, and it's far too much to have in our charge. We must get it away, Sep, as soon as we can."
"It's very queer, father," I said rather dolefully; "but how often one is obliged to do and say things one way, when it would be so easy and comfortable to do and say things the other way." "Yes, Sep," he replied, turning away his face; "it is so all through life, and one is always finding that there is an easy way out of a difficulty. What should you do here?"
Bigley took off his cap and rubbed his ear. "I'm afraid you are right," he said; "but I don't like to go back." "Then let's go on to Barnstaple, and write to him from there." "To be sure!" cried Bigley, jumping at the compromise. "Come along." "No, I said; it will not do. I've left his letter behind, and I don't know where to write." "Oh, Sep!" cried Bigley reproachfully. "Then, we must go back."
From Valentine's Manual of the Common Council of New York for 1844 we will copy the following brief sketch of the British Prisons in New York during the Revolution.

"No," said Doctor Chowne, "put some wood and charcoal ready, and fetch a dozen bricks out of the yard." "Is Master Sep ill?" cried Kicksey. "Oh, no: there he is. I was quite " "There, be quick," said my father; "and if anybody comes, go to the gate and say I'm busy."
"He is sure to be in in a few minutes," she said; for she had heard the end of their talk. She could scarcely have helped hearing Loo's weighty suggestion of a lantern, which had had the effect he must have anticipated. Sep was already hurriedly searching for matches. It would be difficult to dissuade him from his purpose.
But the remarkable feature of the innings was the short time in which so many runs were made exactly three hours. The elevens went in to lunch, as the crowd poured over the ground, laughing and chattering. This is a delightful hour to the Rev. Septimus. He will walk to the wickets, and wait there for his innumerable friends. It will be, "Hullo, Sep!" "By Jove, here's dear old Sep!"
I trembled as I helped, and forgot my own pains. He noticed my trembling and laughed. "Bah, Sep!" he said; "this is nothing. I'm afraid some of our poor fellows there are worse. Ah, who's that? Be ready, men; we must retreat, we are not in fighting trim."
"Open, and no harm will be done to you. Resist, and there will be no quarter. Is it surrender?" "Monsieur forgets that he is talking to an English officer," said my father. "Stand back, sir; we are well-armed and prepared." There was a low murmur of voices outside, and my father exclaimed: "Sep, Bigley, upstairs with you and six men.
I promised that I would and we parted, one going down towards the sea, the other along the lane, where I met my father looking very hot and tired; but he seemed in good spirits, so I supposed that he had not met old Jonas. "Well, Sep," he cried, "how about the experiment? What luck?" "Oh, we melted the stones, father, and got out of them a little bit of lead."
