The Honorable Arba Spinney was in the lobby as usual that winter. The Duke's sarcastic prediction was fulfilled. He appeared promptly at the session's opening, and was the most insistent and persistent member of the "Third House," as the paid legislative agents were called. Most of the men who wormed their way here and there operated craftily and tried to be diplomatic.
While this resolution was being recorded, Archie was still indulging in smothered protests, the dying voice of the thunder-storm; and as the session dispersed he was heard to say, "Committee or no committee, as lang as I'm in the kirk they'll sing the psalms o' Dauvit an' the tunes o' Dauvit tae." The next evening I informed Angus of the session's action, and told him the names of the committee.
The session's nearly over, and there's two Church Discipline Bills, and five Church Bills bishoprics and benefices, and Lord knows what still to get through. Lot of anxiety about 'em, apparently! As to a business view of politics, I expect the climate's against it.
Miss Session's striving to build up an imitation lady on the sincere foundation Johnnie offered appealed less to the girl, and had therefore less effect; but she immediately responded to Stoddard's methods, tucking in to the books she returned written queries or records of perplexity, which gradually expanded into notes, expressions of her own awakened thought, and even fancies, which held from the first a quaint charm and individuality.

"It's slow work waiting your turn, there's so many governors and generals and senators, although the session's over. It's a busy time, miss." Virginia went very close to him. "Oh, can't you do something?" she said. And added, with an inspiration, "I must see him. It's a matter of life and death." She saw instantly, with a woman's instinct, that these words had had their effect.

Women and children and the sick and helpless we'll pass out of the city, but we need men, and we won't pass them out." He turned away from the petitioner and beckoned the head woman to enter. This one had her audience, and came back crying. Mrs. Lively was now at the head of the line. Her turn had at last come. "Session's over," announced the keeper, and closed the doors.
