The inexperience of youth denies it perspective; in that season of fleeting and unsubstantial joys, of feverish hopes, despair wholly darkens a world which after years find full of chances and expedients. If Mr. Sewell had been in town there might have been some hope through him; or if Mr.
"Oh, not always," suggested Corey. "He must go back to Willoughby Pastures," Sewell concluded, "to his farm." "Oh, come now!" said Bellingham, with disgust. "If that sort of thing is to go on," said Corey, "what is to become of the ancestry of the future elite of Boston? I counted upon Barker to found one of our first families. Besides, any Irishman could take his farm and do better with it.
"Thank you, sir; I love to read them when I'm at home it's so still here. I should be dull if I didn't." Mara's eyes looked eagerly attentive. Mr. Sewell noticed their hungry look when a book was spoken of. "And you must read it, too, my little girl," he said. "Thank you, sir," said Mara; "I always want to read everything Moses does." "What book is it?" said Moses.
I don't know just when I can pay you back; but I'll do it sometime." "Oh, I'm sure of that," said Sewell, from the abyss of hopeless conjecture into which these facts had plunged him; his wandering fancy was dominated by the presence of Lemuel's mother with her bloomers in Boston.
He did what Sewell bade him do in admiring this thing or that; but if he had been an Indian he could not have regarded them with a greater reticence. Sewell made him sit down from time to time, but in a sitting posture Barker's silence became so deathlike that Sewell hastened to get him on his legs again, and to walk him about from one point to another, as if to keep life in him.
"My son, our Lord and Master will have no such conditions from us," said Mr. Sewell. "We must submit unconditionally. She has done it, and her peace is as firm as the everlasting hills. God's will is a great current that flows in spite of us; if we go with it, it carries us to endless rest, if we resist, we only wear our lives out in useless struggles."
It never appeared twice in the same place, and when at last Sewell had tutored the sexton carefully in Lemuel's dress, he was driven to despair one morning when he saw the boy sliding along between the seats in the gallery, and sitting down with an air of satisfaction in an entirely new suit of clothes.
Pennel took the little ones to their nest in an adjoining room. Mr. Sewell approached his chair to that of Captain Pennel, and began talking to him in a tone of voice so low, that we have never been able to make out exactly what he was saying. Whatever it might be, however, it seemed to give rise to an anxious consultation.
The Burdock was smart in new paint, and even the deck hands had been washed for the occasion. "I'll go down with you a bit," he explained to Sewell, the chief mate. "The pilot'll bring me back. I suppose I can go up to the chart-house?" "Of course, sir," said Sewell. "If you can't go where you like aboard of us, who can?" The old man smiled.
"Oh, I don't know that you can say that," replied Sewell in deprecation of this extreme view. "I don't believe," he continued, "that she would object to doing good for its own sake." "Of course she wouldn't, David! Who in the world supposed she would?" demanded his wife, bringing him up roundly at this sign of wandering, and Miss Vane laughed wildly.
