While, perhaps, the characteristic charm of the American girl is her thorough-going individuality and the undaunted courage of her opinions, which leads her to say frankly, if she think so, that Martin Tupper is a greater poet than Shakespeare, yet I have, on the other hand, met a young American matron who confessed to me with bated breath that she and her sister, for the first time in their lives, had gone unescorted to a concert the night before last, and, mirabile dictu, no harm had come of it!
"I was wonderin'," said Scattergood, "if you had any notion if I could buy the Goodhue timber reasonable?" "Eh?" said Mr. Castle, startled. "The Goodhue timber?" "Back of Tupper Falls." "Who told " Mr. Castle snapped his teeth together sharply. "Leetle bird," said Scattergood. "Dinner's ready." "There might come a time when you'd be mighty glad to sell for less than I'm offering."
Goodspeed, President Tupper at Shaw in Raleigh, and Dr. Corey in Richmond. In May she appeared at the Baptist anniversaries, with fifteen years of missionary achievement already behind her. But each year brought its own sorrows and disappointments. She wanted the Society to establish a training school for women; but to this objection was raised.
"Who put this will in the tummy of this Little Brass God?" asked Tommy. "The man who made it Simon Tupper," answered Will. "Did he tell anyone where it was?" "On his deathbed, he told Frederick Tupper, his nephew, where to find it. It's a pity the young man didn't remove the document and file it in probate court. It would have saved a lot of bother."
Hughes says, with characteristic elegance "yet although he wrote so much, Tennyson never wrote a single line that would bring a painful or anxious blush to the cheek of the most innocent or sensitive maiden." What a curious antithesis! Why should a man write impurely for writing much? And is this the supreme virtue of a great poet? It might be predicated of Martin Tupper.
After holding this office for seven years, he slipped back again into the post of lieutenant-governor of New Brunswick. In May 1884 Sir Charles Tupper relinquished the portfolio of Railways and Canals in order to devote himself exclusively to the office of high commissioner for Canada in London, to which he had been appointed a year before.
It is better with such a man, or, indeed, with any man, to say too little than too much; and, in fact, it would have been indecorous in me to take too much of his kindness to my own share, Bennoch being likewise in question. We had a cup of coffee, and then took our leave; Tupper accompanying us part way down the village street, and bidding us an affectionate farewell.
Under an act thus dubiously worded, and in a country which makes Bancroft a collector of the customs and Hawthorne a weigher and gauger, the works of an Alison and a Tupper would be put beyond the reach of all but the immensely rich.
In the provincial election of 1867, the anti-Confederates carried thirty-six out of thirty-eight seats. In the federal election Tupper was the only union candidate returned in nineteen seats contested. A second delegation was sent to London to demand repeal. Tupper crossed the ocean to counter this effort and was successful.
"But he didn't," George suggested, "and that gives us a fine trip to the Hudson Bay country." "When was the house of this Frederick Tupper burglarized?" asked Sandy. "On the night following the death of the old gentleman." "Had the villain of the drama, this Howard Sigsbee, any knowledge concerning the hiding place of the will?" "He was not believed to have."
