"F-found Rome in brick, left it in marble. Fine thought." He ruminated a little. "Never writ anything did you never writ anything?" "Nothing worth publishing," answered poor William Wetherell. "J-just dreamed' dreamed and kept store. S something to have dreamed eh something to have dreamed?" Wetherell forgot his uneasiness in the unexpected turn the conversation had taken.
He drew up for a brief moment when he saw Wetherell. "Wouldn't hurry back if I was you, Will." "Why not?" Mr. Price leaned out of the wagon. "Bije has come over from Clovelly to spy around a little mite." It was evident from Mr. Price's manner that he regarded the storekeeper as a member of the reform party.
"Will Wetherell," said Chester, "you be a gentleman and a student, hain't you? Read history, hain't you?" "I have read some," said William Wetherell. "I callate that a man of parts," said Chester, "such as you be, will help us agin corruption and a dictator. I'm a-countin' on you, Will Wetherell. You've got the store, and you kin tell the boys the difference between right and wrong.
"You know that isn't true," he cried angrily, and taking his way across Brampton Street, turned, and stood staring after them until they were out of sight. "Do you like him, Daddy?" asked Cynthia. William Wetherell did not answer. He had other things to think about. "Daddy?" "Yes." "Does your trouble feel any better?" "Some, Cynthia. But you mustn't think about it."
The credit belongs to Rias Richardson for hawing been the first to piece these three facts together, causing him to burn his hand so severely on the stove that he had to carry it bandaged in soda for a week. Cynthia Wetherell had reformed Jethro. Though the village loved and revered Cynthia, Coniston as a whole did not rejoice in that reform.
Guess I was the first man he sent for last spring. He knows I go through all them river towns. He says, 'Bije, you get 'em. I understood." William Wetherell began to realize the futility of trying to convince Mr. Bixby of his innocence in political matters, and glanced at Jethro. "You wouldn't think he was listenin', would you, Will?" Mr. Bixby remarked. "Listening?" "Ears are sharp as a dog's.
She said it was cheaper to buy than to spend so much time spinning." Mrs. Wetherell told me that I should go up in the garret and see the wheels and all the old machinery used so long ago. That evening I asked Mr. Wetherell: "Has there ever been a field beyond the pines?" "Yes," he said: "Father cleared that piece nigh onto eighty year ago.
"W-want the consolidation don't you? Want it bad don't you?" Mr. Worthington did, not answer. Jethro stood over him now, looking down at him from the other side of the narrow table. "Know Cynthy Wetherell?" he said. Then Isaac Worthington understood that his premonitions had been real. The pound of flesh was to be demanded, but strangely enough, he did not yet comprehend the nature of it.
Thirty was nearer the price, but what did it matter. "H-how much for that?" he said, pointing to another. The clerk told him. He inquired about them all, deliberately repeating the sums, considering with so well-feigned an air of a purchaser that Mr. Wetherell began to take a real joy in the situation. For trade was slack in August, and diversion scarce.
Then suddenly he missed Cynthia, hurried out, and spied her under the trees on the common so deep in conversation with a boy that she did not perceive him until he spoke to her. The boy looked up, smiling frankly at something Cynthia had said to him. He had honest, humorous eyes, and a browned, freckled face, and was, perhaps, two years older than Cynthia. "What's the matter?" said Wetherell.
