With a sigh Mr Warden told himself that he did not understand Ruth, and the rosy dreams he had formed began to fade. Ruth's ideas on the subject of Mr Vince as the days went by were chaotic. Though she told herself that she thoroughly objected to him, he had nevertheless begun to have an undeniable attraction for her. In what this attraction consisted she could not say.
And when the others had left the room "Oh, Samuel," she said. "I feel so badly to- day! I don't see how I'm going to go on." "Listen, Sophie," he said quickly. "That's one of the first things I thought about I can give you a chance now." "How do you mean?" "I can get Dr. Vince to help you find some better work." "Did he say he would?" asked the child.
"Courage, then! Pursue your purpose 'Con l'animo che vince ogni battaglia, Se col suo grave corpo non s'accascia. "And, believe me that you could have no better intimate for leisure hours than the old Florentine, who knew so many things; among them, your own particular complaint."
"Did you hear the long man speak after that, Vince?" "Yes, mars'r. I heerd de long man tell Mars Dennis dat if he didn't steer de boat an' shet his mouf, he'd shoot him. I heerd de pistol go off, but Mars Dennis wasn't killed, fur I saw him steerin' afterwards." "Thank God!" spoke the sailor, kissing the child. "Ellenory's boy was innocent, by smoke!
Now I am going to make your hat." And in an instant she had departed. Dickory now strolled on, and when he returned he seated himself in the shade near the house.

He was very original in speech and thought, and he was very earnest in his religious life and practice. A good story was told me of his quaint manner. At the chapel of which he was a member, one of the ministers having died, a successor was appointed, who in some way caused a division amongst his people, some of whom seceded. Mr. Vince, senior, remained.
The boy was wrestling with the most terrible specter that had yet laid hold upon him. "I don't believe he knows it!" he whispered half to himself. "I don't believe it!" "Who?" asked the other. "Dr. Vince!" said the boy. And he rose suddenly to his feet. "I will go and see him about it," he said. "Go and see him!" echoed Charlie. "Yes. He will tell me!" Charlie was gazing at him with a broad grin.
A grammar class, to which Vince attached himself, was very popular among the young men of the town, and they soon after established a debating club. Here the latent talents in Vince developed themselves. He became a fluent speaker, and was soon asked to deliver a lecture.
In short, while, as in the case of the arrest of the State Council, the subordinates were left to appear the principals in the transactions, the persons most intimate with William of Orange were allowed to form satisfactory opinions as to his wishes, and to serve as instruments to his ends. "Vive qui vince!" cried Saint-Aldegonde, encouragingly, to Ryhove, shaking hands with him at parting.
"I beg you to be seated," said the Governor, "and let me assure you, that in offering to send this order to Captain Vince I do not in the least expect you to take it. But there is one thing I do not understand. Why should the captain have left you in a great rage?
