How would it be to consent to their having banns published? that would mean another three weeks anyway, and in absence from each other they might be influenced to put it off. I'm afraid this is the only chance, for if you simply forbid it, I feel they will run off and get married somewhere at a registrar's." Pierson took this letter out with him into the Square Garden, for painful cogitation.
When we reached the end of the garden walk, a large young man with a pale face, clad in a kind of black cassock, suddenly appeared at the railing. He entered without knocking and bowed to Madame Pierson; it seemed to me that his face, which I considered a bad omen, darkened a little when he saw me. He was a priest I had often seen in the village, and his name was Mercanson; he came from St.
It was the very same bird. Wasn't it clever to know to come back to the very same window even? It's quite true, Pierson knowed the girl." "And did she die?" I asked Tom. "Oh no; she was so glad the bird had come back, that she jumped out of bed, and got quite well that very minute." "That very minute, Tom," I said; "she couldn't get well all in a minute."
Pierson fell asleep at once, and never turned till awakened at half-past six by his alarum. He had Holy Communion to administer at eight, and he hurried to get early to his church and see that nothing untoward had happened to it. There it stood in the sunlight; tall, grey, quiet, unharmed, with bell gently ringing.
Finally, he informed me that Madame Pierson was ill and that she had sent word to me by him that she would not be able to see me that day. "Is she ill? Why, I left her late yesterday afternoon and she was very well at that time!" He bowed. "But," I continued, "if she is ill, why send word to me by a third party? She does not live so far away that a useless call would harm me."
Here in this strait, in 1863, the gallant David McDougall, in the U. S. corvette Wyoming, performed what was perhaps the most gallant act ever wrought by a single commander in a single ship, in the annals of our navy. Here, in 1864, the United States, in alliance with three European Powers, went to war with one Parrott gun under Lieutenant Pierson on the Ta-Kiang.
It was useless to discuss the matter with such a man, though he had probably been charged by Colonel Pierson not to do his prisoner any injury, and Christy relapsed into silence. "If you propose to treat me like a gentleman, whether I am one or not, may I ask where you propose to berth me, for I am very much fatigued to-night?" asked the prisoner later in the evening.
"Well, you needn't be so huffy," answered the elder. "You can play or not, just as you like. But you don't have to be ugly about it." "I'm not," muttered Satterlee, 2d. "Sounds mighty like it. Want to play?" The other hesitated, swallowed once or twice and kicked the turf with his heel. "Of course he wants to play, Don," said Tom Pierson. "Give him a chance, like a good chap."
"He was at my uncle's plantation. I think we have kept up this farce long enough, Percy," said Christy, laughing. "My father is the owner of the Bellevite." "What did you tell me your name was Percy Pierson for?" demanded the other prisoner. "For the same reason that I told you the steamer belonged to the Chinese government, and a dozen other things of the same sort." "What is your name, then?"
Afterwards, she withdrew her connection with that church, and joined Zion's Church in Church street, composed entirely of colored people. With the latter church she remained until she went to reside with Mr. Pierson, after which, she was gradually drawn into the 'kingdom' set up by the prophet Matthias, in the name of God the Father; for he said the spirit of God the Father dwelt in him.
