Bixby was very willing to open boxes, and to make himself useful and agreeable; but it must be remembered that a good captain of mercenaries owes a sacred duty to his followers. At first Mr. Flint had thought he could count on Mr. Bixby; after a while he made several unsuccessful attempts to talk business with him; a particularly difficult thing to do, even for Mr. Flint, when Mr.
"Your proposition is," he said at length, "that if I give my consent to this marriage, we are to have Bixby and the governor, and the Consolidation Bill will become a law. Is that it?" "Th-that's it," said Jethro, taking his accustomed seat. "And this consent is to be given when the bill becomes a law?" "Given now. T-to-night." Mr.
He was makin' such a noise that they had to close the doors of the theatre so's not to disturb the play-actors." "You understand," said Mr. Bixby to Wetherell. Whereupon he gave another shake to Mr. Hartington, who had relapsed into a sort of funereal meditation. "Well," resumed that personage, "there was some more come, hollerin' about the Truro Bill. Not many.
Bixby gave him another admiring look. "Knows you didn't come down here with Jethro jest to see the sights." At this instant the talk in the dining room fell flat, and looking up William Wetherell perceived a portly, rubicund man of middle age being shown to his seat by the headwaiter.

During the afternoon watch the next day, Mr. Bixby asked me if I knew how to run the next few miles. I said 'Go inside the first snag above the point, outside the next one, start out from the lower end of Higgins's wood-yard, make a square crossing and 'That's all right. I'll be back before you close up on the next point. But he wasn't.
There was some delay in gettin' to the street, but not much not much. All the Republican Clubs in the state couldn't have held 'em then, and the profanity they used wahn't especially edifyin'." "Peleg's a deacon you understand," said Mr. Bixby. "Say, Peleg, where was Al Lovejoy?" "Lovejoy come along with the first of 'em.
Horace Bixby, answering a call for pilots from the Missouri River, consigned his pupil, as was customary, tonne of the pilots of the "John J. Roe," a freight-boat, owned and conducted by some retired farmers, and in its hospitality reminding Sam of his Uncle John Quarles's farm. The "Roe" was a very deliberate boat. It was said that she could beat an island to St.
The next morning I came on with the four o'clock watch, and saw Ritchie successfully run half a dozen crossings in a fog, using for his guidance the marked chart devised and patented by Bixby and himself. This sufficiently evidenced the great value of the chart.
One long foot was crossed over the other and rested on the point of the toe, and his head was tilted to one side. He had, on the whole, the appearance of a rather mournful stork.
