At the various ports of the northern coast where the Revenge had sailed back and forth outside, the Badger boldly entered, and the tales she heard soon turned her back again to sail southward down the long Atlantic coast. But the heart of Christopher Vince never failed.
And then he went home, and to his astonishment found that Sophie Stedman had been waiting up for him all this while. She listened breathlessly to the story of his evening's adventures. Then she said, "I have been trying to do something, too." "What have you done?" he asked. "I went to see little Ethel," she replied. "Ethel Vince!" he gasped. "Yes," said she.
'You refuse? he said. 'Why, I thought you liked me. Mr Warden's frenzy had cooled. It had been something foreign to his nature. He regretted it. These things had to be managed with restraint. 'My personal likes and dislikes, he said, 'have nothing to do with the matter, Mr Vince. They are beside the point. I have my daughter to consider. I cannot allow her to marry a man without a penny.
"De long man said he was Quaker man," exclaimed Vince, the larger boy, "an' he come to take Hominy to de free country. Hominy was sold, she said, an' must go. De long man had a boat Mars Dennis's boat an' in de night little Phillis woke up an' cried. Nobody couldn't stop her. De long man picked little Phillis up by de leg an' mashed her skull in agin de flo'. Aunt Hominy ain't never spoke no mo'."
I must go to the Governor's house, and I pray you, uncle, that you will go with me. I must tell him about my father. I must make him do something which shall keep that Captain Vince from sailing after him and killing him. How I wish I had thought of all this before. But it did not come to me."
"Gentlemen!" he cried. "I demand a hearing!" Dr. Vince sprang to his feet in terror. "Samuel Prescott!" he exclaimed. "I have been ordered out of the church!" proclaimed Samuel. "And I will not submit to it! I have spoken the truth, and I will not permit the evil-doers in St. Matthew's to silence me!" Mr. Hickman had sprung up. "Boy," he commanded, "leave this room!"
The Sunday school was established, and here, "in one of Surrey's prettiest villages," Vince preached his first sermon in a cottage. At this time, too, he became a politician, taking his lessons and forming his political creed from a most unlikely source, apparently. This was the Weekly Dispatch, a paper that in those days was scarcely thought to be proper reading for young people.
You must point out these things to them, so that there can be a change." "But WHAT change, Samuel?" "I don't know, sir. I'm groping around and trying to find out. But I'm sure of one thing that some people have got too much money. Why, Dr. Vince, there are people right in your church who have more than they could spend in hundreds of years." "Perhaps so," said the other.
Kirk's an artist, I mustn't be a comic-supplement wife and object to his using models! Oh, I was going to be so good and reasonable. You would have loved me! And then, when it came to the real thing, I found I just could not stand it. I know it's silly of me. I know just as well as you do that Miss Vince is quite a nice girl really, and is going to make a splendid Mrs.
So, a full hour before the end of the service, he took up his post across the street, his heart beating furiously. He was feeling, it must be confessed, a good deal like a dynamiter or an assassin. The weather was warm, and the door of the church was open, so that he could hear the booming voice of Dr. Vince.
