That night, after undressing the child and putting on him the clean night-gown which good Mrs. Paulding had not forgotten, he said, "And now Andy will say his prayers." Andy looked at him with wide-open, questioning eyes. Mr. Hall saw that he was not understood. "You know, 'Now I lay me'?" he said. "No, don't know it," replied Andy. "'Our Father, then?" The child knit his brow.
The magnitude and demonstrations of the mob had aroused great fear for the Navy Yard and the naval property of the Government, and the marine company that had been on duty with the police was recalled by Admiral Paulding for their protection; and this morning six war-vessels, carrying in all over ninety guns, shotted and trained, could be seen drawn up, so as to command every avenue to the yard, while the iron-clad battery Passaic and a gun-boat lay off the Battery to protect Fort Columbus during the absence of its garrison.
I was placed, at dinner, next to Miss Paulding, an elderly young lady, of some notoriety at Paris, very clever, very talkative, and very conceited. A young, pale, ill-natured looking man, sat on her left hand; this was Mr. Aberton, one of the attaches. "Dear me!" said Miss Paulding, "what a pretty chain that is of your's, Mr. Aberton."
Frank sighed, and went back to the library, where Ralph was chatting with Mr. Allen, always deeply interested in the strange life story of the boy from Paulding. Three times that evening Frank went to the telephone and held a little confab with some unknown parties.
"Here's more to-morrow," was his toast, and he seemed to toss it off at a single swallow. "By Jawve!" drawled Paulding. "You must be thirsty!" "I am. Have been all day, as I said before. It was hard stuff last night, and we went the rounds. My head needed hooping when I arose from my downy couch this morning." "Well, you shouldn't have gotten intoxicated, in the first place," said Parker.
I would not consent to her visiting this place again." Mr. Paulding took his visitor into the mission-house, near which they were standing. After they were seated, he said, "I have seen the baby about which your daughter wished me to make inquiry. The woman who has the care of it is a vile creature, well known in this region drunken and vicious.
"Yes," said the attache, "I know it must be pretty, for I got it at Brequet's, with the watch." "Pray, Mr. Pelham," said Miss Paulding, turning to me, "have you got one of Brequet's watches yet?" "Watch!" said I: "do you think I could ever wear a watch? I know nothing so plebeian.
Was there any great harm in the fact that the Irvings and Paulding wrote in company? or any unpardonable cabal in the literary union of Verplanck and Bryant and Sands, and as many more as they chose to associate with them? The poor creature does not know what he is talking about, when he abuses this noblest of institutions.
Paulding was still living with the Irving family when, in 1807, they went to live at No. 17 in aristocratic State Street, at the corner of Pearl, facing the Battery Park.
Willis affected a drawl, had his clothes made in London, and considered himself "deucedly English," although he sometimes forgot himself for a short time and dropped his mannerisms. Tad Horner gave Paulding a look of scorn. "Come off your perch, Paul!" he invited. "You give me severe pains! Get onto yourself! I don't wonder Parker is excited over this matter."
