The man turned his head slowly to the speaker, laid the pole across the boat, which was aground a dozen feet from the dry land, stooped, picked up his long gun, and uttered a harsh "Kitch!" As he spoke he threw the gun to the wheelwright, who caught it and passed it to Dick, while the second man handed Dave another gun, which was sent ashore in the same way.
After a session of twenty-four days the synod adjourned, and Wheelwright, alone of the ministers, was left as the scapegoat of the Antinomians, and with him the majority determined to make short work. At the general court which met November 2, 1637, the transgressions of Wheelwright through his fast-day sermon were made the basis of operations.
Let big Hickathrift speak!" was shouted out. "Keep quiet, then," said the wheelwright, "or how can I! You see, squire," he continued, "the lads came along by my place, and they said some one had put it about that one of them had fired a shot at the young engyneer, and they're all popped about it, and want to see Mr Marston and tell him it isn't true."
Put your little fingers on the seams of your pantaloons that way. Now stand just so." The poor man looked as miserable as if put in a strait-jacket, but tried to literally obey instructions. "Now, what's your name?" Si asked the next tall est man. "Simeon Wheelwright." "Wheelwright, you stand behind Bradshaw, just as he does."
'We may leave it here in safety, said I, 'for it will hardly move away on three wheels, even supposing it could run by itself; I am afraid there is work here for a wheelwright, in which case I cannot assist you; if you were in need of a blacksmith it would be otherwise. 'I don't think either the wheel or the axle is hurt, said the postilion, who had been handling both; 'it is only the linch-pin having dropped out that caused the wheel to fly off; if I could but find the linch-pin! though, perhaps, it fell out a mile away. 'Very likely, said I; 'but never mind the linch-pin, I can make you one, or something that will serve: but I can't stay here any longer, I am going to my place below with this young gentlewoman, and you had better follow us. 'I am ready, said the man; and after lifting up the wheel and propping it against the chaise, he went with us, slightly limping, and with his hand pressed to his thigh.
Underhill had taken side with Mr. Wheelwright in his heretical opinions, and there is every reason why he should have maintained, with all the ardor of personal interest, the efficiency of a covenant of grace without reference to the works of the subject of it.
I must therefore content myself by informing the reader, that the magistrate interposed as soon as he could, by stating that he did not sit there to hear about their squabbles with each other and Tim Martin, but to hear what they had to say against the accused. Poor Wheelwright!
There's the poont and welcome, but no gun." Dick knew the wheelwright too well to persevere; and in his heart he could not help admiring the man's stern sense of honesty; so making up his mind to be content with some fishing and a good wander in the untrodden parts of the fen, he asked Hickathrift to get him some baits with his cast-net. "Ay, I'll soon get them for you, my lad," said Hickathrift.
Yet this is the picture of a man plentifully beloved, large-minded but strangely naïf; a revolutionist of childlike directness. Everybody knows the story of the early life of Joseph Haydn, one of the twelve children of a journeyman wheelwright, and throughout his youth a shuttlecock of ill treatment and contempt. Love seems to have reached his heart at a late day but with compensating suddenness.
I have at your service some famous tobacco at seven petards the pound.” “That’s good, faith; make haste.” And Death lit his pipe and seated himself at the door on the elm trunk. Laughing in his sleeve, the wheelwright of Coq returned to his work. At the end of a quarter of an hour Death called to him: “Ho! faith, will you soon have finished?”
