The wisdom of the godly founders of the plantation at Salem, the charge whereof was entrusted to my weak hands, did clearly perceive the lamentable effects, both to the souls and bodies of the users, hebetating the former, and debauching the latter, likely to arise from an indulgence therein, and they did therefore, both in their first and second letter of instructions to myself and the Council, straightly enjoin that no tobacco should be planted by any of the new planters under our government, saving under close restrictions, and that the same might be taken by ancient men and none other, and that privately.
"I know!" he sighed "Ah yes, I know! A dreadful thing! a shocking attitude of mind! I fear he was not saved!" She looked straightly at him. "I don't see what you mean," she said "He was quite a good man " "Are you sure of that?" and Mr. Medwin fixed his shallow brown eyes searchingly upon her. "Our affections are often very deceptive " A flush of colour overspread her pale cheeks.
"I am not a harpy," she cried. "A siren was a bird more beautiful, but not less dangerous," he said. She rose straightly and swiftly. "You feel that you can speak to me like that because you believe I am what you think. Very well. There may be satisfaction for you to know it. I am, then, everything that you have implied. More more than you have said. I am false.
The tears rose to her eyes and rolled down her cheeks as she lay straightly in the bed, on her back, the clothes drawn to her throat, her hands clasped tightly on her breast. Hours had passed and here she lay alone. Hours had passed and she heard at last his careful step along the passage, and the shock of it tingled through her with a renewal of fear and irrepressible joy.
Margit Salgo was not so straightly kept by Miss Carrington as she was engaged from morning to night in her studies. Having been utterly neglected as far as mental development went for several years, the half-gypsy girl was much behind others of her age at Central High. Miss Grace Gee Carrington was pushing her protege on as fast as possible.
Rufus Lynn wore in deference to the climate a gown of white cambric with a little black sprig thereon, but nothing could excel the smoothly boned fit of it. And she did not lean back in her chair, but was as erect as the very old lady on the door-step, who was her grandmother, and who was also stiffly gowned, in a black cashmere as straightly made as if it had been armor.
Regenerators of the empire! follow straightly your undeviating line; you have been courageous and potent be to-day wise and moderate. In this will consist the glorious termination of your efforts. Then, again returning to your domestic hearths, you will obtain from all, if not blessings, at least the silence of calumny."
"Then I must talk to you straightly," continued John, bracing himself up, and squaring his shoulders resolutely "I must forget that you are my Bishop, and speak just as man to man. All the facts of the case can be summed up in one word Selfishness! Pure Selfishness, Harry! and I never thought I should have had to convict you of it!" Brent drew himself slowly up in his chair.
Looping across the vale, emerging from the sparkling folds of the southernmost curtainings and vanishing into the gleaming veils of the easternmost, ran a broad ribbon of pale-green jade; not straightly but with manifold convolutions and flourishes. It was like a sentence in Arabic. It was margined with sapphire blue.
"The chaperone will see you directly she comes " "I shall stand in that recess. Behind you." The hypnotist thought. "You are a determined young man," he said, "and only half civilised. I have tried to do my duty to my client, but in this affair you seem likely to get your own way...." "You mean to deal straightly." "I'm not going to risk having my brains scattered in a petty affair like this."
