This exception in his favor, however, had never crippled Cobb's independence nor stifled his fearlessness in expressing his views on any one of the leading topics of the day. The Vermonter had worked with his hands when a boy on his father's farm, and believed in the dignity of labor and the blessings of self-support.
"If ye fool around here all night it will git so thunderin' dark I can't see ter hit ther middle button on the Dutchman's coat." "Vos you goin' to abologize?" shouted Hans. "Be you goin' to run away?" demanded Ephraim. "Uf you don'd abologize, I voss a dead man," cried the Dutch lad, threateningly. "Ef you don't run away, you're a dead man," declared the Vermonter.
Even Amos Cobb came to look him over, a courtesy which pleased Richard who greatly admired the Vermonter, and who had not hesitated to express his good opinion of him on more than one occasion before his own and Cobb's friends. "A man of force, gentlemen," Richard had said, of great kindness of heart and with a wide range of vision.
For a breath each bore with all his strength and then closed with his adversary. Each had an under hold with one arm, the other hooked around a shoulder. Samson lifted Abe from his feet but the latter with tremendous efforts loosened the hold of the Vermonter, and regained the turf. They struggled across the dooryard, the ground trembling beneath their feet.
"We haven't been able to make a run since the first inning, but those seven scores were enough." "Yah," said Dunnerwurst "Dot Ephraim Gallup he didid der pizness. Der game threw him avay." "Gol dinged if yeou've gut anything to say!" rasped the Vermonter. "Yeou started all the trouble." "Uf Frankie had let der pitcher's plate stay py me a vhile longer, it vould haf peen different.
"He's to command us now," the Vermonter continued, "and you know what that means. You have got to stand up and take your medicine. You hear me telling you!" A sudden thrill of apprehension ran through Prescott's veins. He had been hearing for a long time of this man Grant and his great deeds in the West, where no general of the South seemed able to stand before him.
With the work of Theodore Robinson, there comes a wide divergence of feeling that is perhaps a greater comprehension of the principles of impressionism as applied to the realities involved in the academic principle. That he lived not far from Giverney is likewise evident. Being of New England yankee extraction, a Vermonter I believe, he must have essayed always a sense of economy in emotion.
West's printers arrived, and he, too, finding the door locked, sat down by the side of the stranger, and entered into conversation with him. "I saw," said the printer to me many years after, "that he was an honest, good young man, and being a Vermonter myself, I determined to help him if I could."
Barely had the Dutch boy disappeared, with the Vermonter at his heels, when Frank and several others of the party slipped away into the shadows and made for Black Bluff. Bascomb and a large number of his friends were waiting when Frank arrived, and Merriwell heard the big fellow sneeringly observe: "He has really come at last! I didn't know but he was going to take water.
The ease with which the big Vermonter had so defied the law of gravitation with that unwieldly stick amazed him. "That thing'll weigh from seven to eight hundred pounds," said he. "I reckon you're the stoutest man in this part o' the state an' I'm quite a man myself. I've lifted a barrel o' whisky and put my mouth to the bung hole. I never drink it."
