Thee will trust me to pass the barn?" "I would trust my boys, if they were thy age, Dorothy; but their resolution is tender like their years." It might be questioned whether the frame of mind in which the boys went to bed that night under their mother's eye, for Rachel could be firm in a case of conscience, was more improving than the frivolity of Slocum's barn.
"Why, what 's the matter with him? Can't he git work in Boston?" "Matter? Why, his wife, that I see makin' believe be so dreadful pious in the Catholic meetin', she 's carried on wuss 'n the Old Driver for two years, 'n' now she 's up 'n' left him, gone with a han'somer man." Down on Steve Webster's hand came Jabe Slocum's immense paw with a grasp that made him cringe.
But land sakes! you couldn't make them Slocums pious 'f you kep' on baptizin' of 'em till the crack o' doom. I never hearn tell of a Slocum's gittin' baptized in July. They allers take 'em after the freshets in the spring o' the year, 'n' then they have to be turrible careful to douse 'em lengthways of the river. Look at him, will ye? I b'lieve he's grown sence yesterday!
By this time Jackson was approaching, and now the overwhelming forces of the enemy promised to crush the single corps; but Slocum's division of our Sixth corps was ordered to the relief of the Fifth corps, and arrived at four o'clock. The division was sent into the fight at once, each brigade being ordered separately to strengthen the weak points of the line.
"They are like Mary Donnelly's." "'Her eyes like mountain water Where it's running o'er a rock." "Whose eyes?" asked Vesta. "Not Luella Slocum's? I was just going to tell you about her." "No, not hers. How is she? You must have had a sweet time there." Vesta gave her head a backward shake it was a pretty way she had and laughed. "I am sure I did her good," she said.
"There is something more alarming in Sister Slocum's absence," interposes one of the ladies. The house seems in a waiting mood, when suddenly Mr. Detective Fitzgerald enters, and changes it to one of anxiety. Several voices inquire if he was successful.
"There you are wrong, Durgin," replied Stevens. "Torrini had no call in the yard; he was making a nuisance of himself. Shackford spoke to him, and told him to go, and when he didn't go Shackford put him out; and he put him out handsomely, 'with neatness and dispatch, as Slocum's prospectuses has it." "He was right all the time," said Piggott.
Dropping the preamble, these resolutions, which were neatly printed with a type-writing machine on a half letter sheet, ran as follows: Resolved, That on and after the First of June proximo, the pay of carvers in Slocum's Marble Yard shall be $2.75 per day, instead of $2.50 as heretofore.
Molly must be sold, the New York Tract Society must have a mite, and Sister Abijah Slocum's very laudable enterprise of getting Brother Singleton Spyke off to Antioch must be encouraged. And Mr. Forsheu is very kind to the old people he sells.
MacGlowrie simply had an attack of faintness from some overexertion, that's all." Nevertheless, he was uneasy as he walked away. Mrs. MacGlowrie had evidently received a shock which was still unexplained, and, in spite of Slocum's exaggerated fancy, there might be some foundation in his story. He did not share the man's superstition, although he was not a skeptic regarding magnetism.
