And still again on April 8th, 1677, of another of his children when but six days old: "Sabbath day, rainy and stormy in the morning but in the afternoon fair and sunshine though with a Blustering Wind. So Eliz. Weeden the Midwife brought the Infant to the Third Church when Sermon was about half done in the Afternoon."
Weeden is fully instructed in the condition of my retinue and carriage; and as the affairs of both Crowns, the time of the year, and other circumstances considered, require much haste to be made in this negotiation, so the particular interest of the King our Master, needs as speedy a meeting as can be between your Excellency and me, which I pray to have in your mind, and contrive in the best manner you can.
"He's coming on!" WEEDEN, sure enough, had quietly shouldered his shovel and empty sack, and was making after them, singing as he came. Judy was on the point of saying to her brother, "Good thing Aunt Emily isn't here!" when she caught a look in his eyes that stopped her dead. "My dear!" he exclaimed in his tone of big discovery.
If you had been left to yourself, I'm sure you would not have spoken so, but your friend Smith appears to have a special spite against me." I was tempted to retort, but did not, and he went back pensively to his desk, taking the money with him. The remainder of the five-pound note served to discharge my debts to the Twins, and to Tucker, the pastrycook, and Weeden, the tobacconist.
WEEDEN then resumed his ordinary manner; he went on speaking as before. But obviously somewhere deep down inside himself he had come to a big decision. "Gettin' nearer and nearer," he resumed his former conversation exactly where he had left it off, "but never near enough to get disappointed ain't it? When you gets to the end of anything, you see, it's over. And that's a pity."
They regarded London as a terrible place, though a necessity: Daddy's office was there; Christmas and Birthday presents came from London, but also it was where the Radical govunment lived an enormous, evil, octopus kind of thing that made Daddy poor. Weeden, too, had been known to say dark things with regard to selling vegetables, hay, and stuff.
We have about thirty-seven hundred militia embodied, but at present they are divided into three distant encampments: one under General Weeden, at Fredericksburg, for the protection of the important works there; another under General Nelson, at and near Williamsburg; and a third under Baron Steuben, at Cabin Point. As soon as the enemy fix themselves, these will be brought to a point.
There were also women of affairs, some of whom took charge of large industries. Thus Weeden, in his "Economic and Social History of New England," quotes from an interesting memorandum left by Madam Martha Smith, a widow of St. George's Manor, Long Island, which shows her practical ability. In January, 1707, "my company" killed a yearling whale, and made twenty-seven barrels of oil.
Be have ill, or behave well, it was the known maxim of Weeden, that it is the duty of a master to use the lash. If, for no other reason, he contended that this was essential to remind a slave of his condition, and of his master's authority. The good slave must be whipped, to be kept good, and the bad slave must be whipped, to be made good. Such was Weeden's theory, and such was his practice.
"Promise," she whispered presently, "promise never to tell the others!" "I promise faithfully," he answered. "But we'd better get up, or we shall have our heads cut off like all the other daisies." He pulled her to her feet out of the way of the heavy mowing machine which Weeden was pushing with a whirring, droning noise across the lawn. Tim's "particular adventure" was of another kind.
