I'll watch it as best I can, too, though of course I'll see little of the boy. Let him go now. I'll talk with you a while if I may." My father glanced at me, and I got up. Captain Whidden rose, too. "Come down in the morning," he said. "You can sign with us at the Websters' counting-house. And good-bye, Ben," he added, extending his hand. "Good-bye? You don't mean that I'm not to go with you?"
Said another; "Yet are the queens good websters, and, lacking them, figured cloth of silk would be far-fetched and dear-bought here."
The irony of it! Martin was young. At least, he was not old. He could not be more than forty. He might marry sometime. Many a man more unapproachable even than Martin Howe did marry. And if he should marry, what would be more likely than that he would give to his maiden sisters Mary, Eliza, and Jane the Howe farm and take for his own abode the more spacious homestead of the Websters?
"Now I do think, in my soul," exclaimed Allison, "things have come to a pretty pass when Crackers like those Websters can throw a settlement like this into a panic, and order prominent and wealthy planters like Captain Beardsley to quit business and come home on penalty of being burned out in case of disobedience." "You're mighty right," said Mrs.
I wish it had been his second; for she was Surrey's Geraldine. The posterity of Sir Anthony kept the place till 1719, and then sold it to the Websters, a family of Baronets, who are still the owners and occupants.

Her aunt laughed indulgently at the girl's youthful attempt at subterfuge. She hoped she was humbugging. Worldly wisdom was an admirable trait. Had not the Websters always been famed for their business sagacity?
The child was winning in her ways, simple, yet laughter-loving, and very earnest less wonderful that Harry liked her! Another year fled, and again the Websters visited Covelly, and again Harry spent a few days with his mother; and although Mr Webster did not get the length of liking the youth, he at last came to the condition of not disliking him.
