Almost every day the poor child was cut with lashes, often on the bare flesh; almost every day her shrieks rang out from the miserable hovel. But there was no one to interfere, no one to save her from the smarting blows, no one to care what she suffered. Pinky Swett could stand it no longer.
So that while the Congressional district was made by me, and for myself, I gave way to Mr. Swett, and the opposition carried it. Two years afterwards I was the candidate and was elected. The majority in the counties composing the district was ordinarily Republican. As a result of Mr.
Bray waited the reappearance of Pinky Swett, but the girl did not come back. At the end of this time a package which had been left at the door was brought to her room. It came from Mrs. Dinneford, and contained two hundred dollars. A note that accompanied the package read as follows: "Forgive my little fault of temper. It is your interest to be my friend.
John Barnard Swett Jackson, and illustrated by his own printed descriptive catalogue, justly spoken of by a distinguished professor in the University of Pennsylvania as the most important contribution which had ever been made in this country to the branch to which it relates.
Sam was but a sad losel, and vexed him in other and more serious matters. On March 15th, 1725, the Judge wrote: "Sam Hirst got up betime in the morning, and took Ben Swett with him and went into the Comon to play Wicket. Went before anybody was up, left the door open: Sam came not to prayer at which I was much displeased."
"Who is your regular teacher?" was inquired. "Don't remember her name." "It's Edith," spoke up one of the girls. "Mrs. Martin called her that." "What did this Pinky Swett want to see her about?" "Don't know," answered the child as she remembered the money Pinky had given her and the promise of more. The teacher questioned no further, but went on with her work in the class.
"Swett," he once exclaimed, turning suddenly to his associate, "the man is guilty; you defend him I can't," and gave up his share of a large fee. After his death some notes were found, written in his own hand, that had evidently been intended for a little lecture or talk to law students. They set forth forcibly, in a few words, his idea of what a lawyer ought to be and to do.
Swett got a master's-mate's berth, and I was offered the same, but felt too much afraid of myself to accept it. I entered the navy, then, for the first time, as a common Jack. This was a very short time before war was declared, and a large flotilla of gun-boats was getting ready for the New York station. Bill was put on board of No. 112, and I was ordered to No. 107, Sailing-Master Costigan.
Then, there being a vacancy on the Board of Education, I responded to the wish of friends and accepted the appointment to help them in their endeavor to better our schools. John Swett, an experienced educator, was superintendent. The majority of the board was composed of high-minded and able men.
A victim lured to her den rarely escapes without loss of watch or pocket-book. And not one in a hundred dares to give information, for this would expose him to the public, and so her crimes are covered. Pinky Swett is not the one to bother herself about a baby unless its parentage be known, and not then unless the knowledge can be turned to advantage."
