A few minutes later, Bradley found the others of the party. The four returned cautiously to the spot where the creature lay and after convincing themselves that it was quite dead, came close to it. It was an arduous and gruesome job extricating Tippet's mangled remains from the powerful jaws, the men working for the most part silently. "It was the work of the banshee all right," muttered Brady.
Those who have dealings with the Fan universally prefer them in point of honesty and manliness to the Mpongwe and Coast races; they have not had time to become thoroughly corrupt, to lose all the lesser without gaining anything of the greater virtues. We were obliged to release by force the boy Nyongo, and two of Mr. Tippet's women who had been put "in log" Anglice, in the stocks.
Next moment he was in the street hastening he knew not whither; but following the old and well-known route to Beverly Square. When Willie Willders knocked at Tom Tippet's door, at the top of the house, a rich jovial bass voice cried, "Come in."
Miss Tippet's means being small, she rented a proportionately small residence, consisting of two floors, which were the upper portion of a house, whose ground floor was a toy-shop. The owner of the toy-shop, David Boone, was Miss Tippet's landlord; but not the owner of the tenement. He rented the whole, and sublet the upper portion.
She had been Miss Tippet's confidential servant before entering the service of Mr Auberly, and her extremely short stay in Beverly Square had not altered that condition. She had come to feel that she had a right to know all Miss Tippet's affairs, and so waited for information. Yes, well ." "Boy," said Miss Tippet, turning suddenly to Willie, "your name is William Willders, I believe?"
Why, sir, Miss Cattley is committing suicide; and, in regard to her father, who is dependent on her, she is committing murder murder, sir!" Mr Tippet's eyes flashed with indignation, and he drove the chisel deep down into the bench, as if to give point and force to his sentiment, as well as an illustration of the dreadful idea with which he concluded.
"Well," he answered, "that was at General Hiram Washington Tippet's; he keeps the post-office why, Sir, that was Caledonia city." I thanked him, unsaddled my horse, and bivouacked where I was, laughing heartily at my mistake in having asked for ice, when the two sides of the board made post-office. But I must return to Boston and its court-house.
Now, Frank, I want your advice." To say that Frank was hearty in his assurances that he would do what he could to help his brother, would be a faint way of stating the truth. In short, his conduct was unaccountable! Frank laughed, but said eagerly "Why. Willie, did you not tell me long ago that there was a fire in your bosom, lit up by a certain young friend of Miss Tippet's "
Miss Tippet's only weakness for she was indeed a most estimable woman was a tendency to allow rank and position to weigh too much in her esteem.
Miss Tippet's heart was animated with feelings of love to God and man; and she had that day, in obedience to the Divine precept, attempted and accomplished a good many little things, all of which were, either directly or indirectly, calculated to make human beings happy.
