But save for this changeless frame of nature, there was very little, in the village, which the modern dweller in Stockbridge would recognize. The main settlement is along a street lying east and west, across the plain which extends from the Housatonic, northerly some distance, to the foot of a hill. The village green or "smooth" lies rather at the western end of the village than at the center.
Heard so much talkin, callated suthin must a happened, an turned out ter see what it wuz. Fetched any news, hev ye Reub? Spit it aout. Guess it muss be pooty good, or the cap'n would'n be lookin so darned pleased." "The news I fetched is that the army in Stockbridge is going to attack you to-morrow at dawn." Abner's jaw fell.
Presently the Mohican halted in view of the river-bank, making a sign for me to join him, which I did, briefly bidding the Stockbridge Mole to notch the trees in my stead. "A canoe has passed," said the Sagamore calmly. "What! You saw it?" "No, Loskiel. But there was spray on a boulder in a calm pool." "Perhaps a deer crossed, or a mink or otter crawled across the stone."
From the extent of his property interests and the popular animosity which endangered them, no gentleman in Stockbridge had more necessity to keep the right side of Perez Hamlin than Squire Edwards, and it was not the storekeeper's fault if he did not.
His touch would profane thee. Sadden not thy innocent eyes with the sight of his end. Think of him as one who died in boyhood. My God! why didst thou not take him then?" He turned away, stifling a sob. "Father," she put her hand on his shoulder, "we will go with thee to Stockbridge I and the mother." He faced her again, stern and rigid. "Cease thy entreaties. I will go alone."
"By the way, too, Miss Edwards," broke in another, "your admirer, Hamlin, is at the head of them, and I've no doubt his real design is to make a dash on Stockbridge, and carry you off from the midst of your faithful knights. He'll have a chance to repent of his presumption to-morrow.
"Some day," said the Sagamore in my ear, "Tahoontowhee will accept the antlers and the quiver." "He would be greater yet if he accepted Christ," said the Stockbridge quietly.
His sunny nature shone into every crack and crevice around him, and the poor man and the stranger and whosoever was in trouble or need felt that he had in him an adviser and friend. The Irish were especially drawn to him, and they made request to bear his body to the grave, that is, to Stockbridge, six miles.
But a land that grows magnolias is not fit for me I was going to say magnolias and rattlesnakes; but I remember K 's adventure with her friend the rattlesnake of Monument Mountain, and the wild wood-covered hill half-way between Lenox and Stockbridge, which your Berkshire farmers have christened Rattlesnake Mountain.
Except such as had farms of their own to work on, or work for themselves to do, there was scarcely any one in Stockbridge who went to work. A large part of the labor by which the industries of the community had been carried on, had been that of debtors working out their debts at such allowance for wages as their creditor-employers chose to make them.
