Ketchum, who, as prosecutor, was entitled to the opening and closing arguments, rose and stated that, as the days were short, and it was growing late, he would waive his right of opening, and reserve what he had to say to the time when his brother Tippit had concluded.
The words, 'man of sin' had a peculiar meaning. They were designed in the Scriptures to express condemnation, and horror, and wickedness. They were not synonymous with 'sinful man, though even these words might be considered words of reviling, had they been used in the same circumstances. The contempt affected by his brother Tippit was so much powder and shot thrown away.
It was really not coin of the realm, but gilded brass a forgery; and the language is full of such forgeries, which we continually circulate, and worst of all, pass off upon ourselves. Thus it happened that although Miss Tippit would have been glad to do Miriam many a service, her offers were treated with, something like disdain, and were instantly withdrawn.
Miriam had not stirred from home since she last saw him, and was in the little back room when the letter arrived. Miss Tippit brought it to her, and she took it with an affected air of total unconcern. "Thank you, Miss Tippit. I am sorry to see you looking so poorly." "Thank you, Miss Tacchi; I am not well by any means," and Miss Tippit departed.
Miriam had picked up an epithet, perhaps from her aunt, perhaps from a book which seemed exactly to describe Miss Tippit she was "conventional;" and having acquired this epithet, her antipathy to Miss Tippit increased every time she used it.
"What have we to do," said he, "with the character of the prisoner? His character is not at issue. If brother Tippit is allowed to run into all these side issues, we shall never be done with the examination, and therefore I object to the testimony."
Miss Tippit, with some doubts as to her friend's fitness for the duty, promised to do what she could; and at last, after complete recovery, Miriam was allowed to begin a kind of apprenticeship to the art of nursing in a small hospital, recommended by Miss Tippit's friend, the doctor. One morning, a bright day in June, she was taken there.
When Miriam saw she was relieved, she became compassionate. "I am so grieved," she said to the doctor, "to see Miss Tippit so ill. Is there really nothing I can do for her?" "Nothing, madam." Miriam, so grieved, rushed downstairs wild with excitement and delight, laid hold of Andrew, half asleep, twitched him merrily out of the chair, and they were off.
She was not simply vexed, but she cursed Miss Tippit, and would have raged at her if the presence of others had not restrained her. "It is extremely awkward. I have a most pressing engagement." Andrew stared. He did not see anything particularly pressing. "I will wait for you, Miriam." She now hated Andrew as much as she did Miss Tippit. "Absurd to talk of waiting. You know nothing about it.
At most, the word can in its present application, be considered only as an intensitive, or the like. The fact is, may it please the court, it is but a strong form of expression, and means no more nor less than very, and I should be willing to leave it to the good sense of those who hear me, as to a jury, to say if my construction is not correct." Here Tom Gladding nodded his head at Tippit. "Mr.
