And had not my Remarks on their State Matters taken up more of my Thoughts than I expected, I might have entred a little upon their other Affairs, such as their Companies, their Commerce, their Publick Offices, their Stock-Jobbers, their Temper, their Conversation, their Women, their Stages, Universities, their Courtiers, their Clergy, and the Characters of the severals under all these Denominations, but these must be referr'd to time, and my more perfect Observations.
Why, if you make such a point of my coming to Griffin, do you want me to come at all?" She hesitated an instant; then she returned; "I knew you hated it!" "You provoke me so," said Nick. "You try to, I think." "And Severals is still worse. You'll get out of that if you can," Mrs. Dallow went on. "If I can? What's to prevent me?" "You promised Lady Whiteroy. But of course that's nothing."
"Ye deal in treason, rogue; ye trudge the country leasing; y' are heavily suspicioned of the death of severals. How, fellow, are ye so bold? But I will bring you down." "Right honourable and my reverend lord," the man cried, "here is some hodge-podge, saving your good presence. I am but a poor private man, and have hurt none." "The under-sheriff did report of you most vilely," said the knight.
"That's what I aye think o' when I see the elders on the Sabbath mornin'," said he; "forbye, there's severals o' them, but wha ever heard tell o' mair than ae beadle? And what's mair, I had raither be a door-keeper in the Lord's hoose than dwall in tents o' sin. Them's Dauvit's words, and they aye come to me when I compare mysel' wi' the elders."
To these objections I rejoin: first, that that description of the covenanters in Nehemiah, that "they were of understanding, and knowledge," supposeth not a distinct actual cognizance of every particular ordinance, judgment, statute, and provision, in all the three laws, moral, judicial, ceremonial, in every one that took the covenant; that being not only needless but impossible; but it implies only a capacity to receive instruction and information in the things they swore unto, tho' at present they were ignorant of many of the severals contained in that oath.
There's been scarce a fly in the ointment, forbye Sandy Trother's wife, who gied him, an' gied us a', a heap o' tribble; but she was Irish, ye ken. An' oor ministers hae a' been frae Scotland; but we had ane for mebbe twa month or mair nae oor ain minister, but only a kin' o' evangelist buddy. He was an Irish buddy tae, but there were severals converted.
But he added the next moment more seriously, as if his tone had been disrespectful: "You probe me to the bottom, no doubt." "You needn't come either to Griffin or to Severals if you don't want to." "Give them up yourself; stay here with me!" She coloured quickly as he said this, and broke out: "Lord, how you hate political houses!"
She put out her hand to rest it on the mantel-shelf, but her companion took it on the way and held it in both his own. "You're delightful, Julia, when you speak in that tone then I know why it is I love you. But I can't do anything if I go to Griffin, if I go to Severals." "I see I see," she answered thoughtfully and kindly.
