And when the Wilsons came to our house to lay before him the offer of Reinhart and his fellow plunderers to pay enormous profits for the control of the Seaboard, he was indignant and argued with them that the offer was an insult to honest men. It was he who advised the trusteeship control of the Seaboard stock to prevent Reinhart from securing control.
Pentz was saying to Mary, "I should like you to go down to the Wilsons' and see what those boys are about." As to Mrs. Stebbins, John was so seldom at home it did not occur to her to wonder where he was. But when Saturday morning came, and no boys, Aunt Harriet said, "There's a little lull in the storm. I can't stand it any longer, Jane.
His daughter says that when the blow came, that day of the panic, when Reinhart jammed the stock out of sight and scuttled her father's bankers and partners in the road, the Wilsons of Baltimore, she had a frightful struggle to keep her father from going insane.
You can bring your little boy with you, you know—I daresay we shall be able to amuse him;—and then you can make your own apologies to the Millwards and Wilsons—they will all be here, I expect.’ ‘Thank you, I never go to parties.’ ‘Oh! but this will be quite a family concern—early hours, and nobody here but ourselves, and just the Millwards and Wilsons, most of whom you already know, and Mr.

"The Wilsons are among father's aversions, that is all you can say; it is no use to try and explain them or rebel against them," Waitstill answered wearily. "That is all very well, and might be borne like many another cross; but I wanted to marry this particular 'aversion," argued Patty. "Would you have helped me to marry Mark secretly if I had confided in you?" "Never in the world never!"

It comforted him a little when he reflected that not an Orangeman had gone.
