That it was an Indian she was certain, and that he bore the child she knew, because lying on a rock in the trail she had found a piece of the chain of chinquapins she had amused herself stringing together to place about little Thomas's neck. Now that she was on the right trail it did not enter her mind to return to her husband's men for help or to send a messenger to Jamestown to fetch him back.
This preliminary meeting is called merely to insure a sufficient company to be in attendance in the vestry of Church, at the general wardmote held on St Thomas's Day.
It is a quality which calls out the most efficient services of the troops serving under the commander possessing it. Thomas's dispositions were deliberately made, and always good. He could not be driven from a point he was given to hold. He was not as good, however, in pursuit as he was in action.
No immediate result followed; but about a fortnight before Thomas's connection with the Church, James had joined the Wesleyans, and had written to his father informing him of Thomas's promise. It was in consequence of this, that Mr. R. was requested to call on him; the result of which, through the blessing of God, was, as the reader has seen, his becoming connected with the Church.
At the entrance of William, whose morals in such matters were pure and rigid, he swept the letter into the chest of relics which always accompanied him, and rose, saying, indifferently: "A treatise on the authenticity of St. Thomas's little finger! But what ails you? you are disturbed!" "Odo, Odo, this man baffles me this man fools me; I make no ground with him.
For his fee it seemed to me that he had. Heaven inspired Sir Thomas's lawyer all of a sweat lest his client's language should come out to rise up and thank him. Then, Sir Thomas not yet aware what leprosy had been laid upon him, but grateful to escape on any terms followed suit. He was heard in interested silence, and people drew back a pace as Gehazi passed forth.
Those outsiders wear Thomas's crest and livery, and call him "Sir;" those silent women address the female servants as "Mum," and curtsy before them, squaring their arms over their wretched lean aprons.
"I shouldn't say it was a very pleasant place to live in, if there are such things as ghosts," said Caddy, laughing; "I for one wouldn't like to live there but here we are at Mr. Thomas's how short the way has seemed!" Caroline gave a fierce rap at the door, which was opened by old Aunt Rachel, the fat cook, who had lived with the Thomases for a fabulous length of time.
Thomas's, my dear, dropping her voice, and taking up her gold-rimmed eye-glasses to inspect me more critically, a mere habit, for I had reason to know Aunt Philippa was not the least near-sighted. 'I cannot see any occasion for you to dress so dowdily, with three hundred a year to spend absolutely on yourself; for of course poor Charlie's little share has come to you.
Sir Thomas's parental solicitude and high sense of honour and decorum, Edmund's upright principles, unsuspicious temper, and genuine strength of feeling, made her think it scarcely possible for them to support life and reason under such disgrace; and it appeared to her that, as far as this world alone was concerned, the greatest blessing to every one of kindred with Mrs.
