"You will doubtless like to make the acquaintance of Captain Elihu Swales, Mr Lefroy," said Mr Cruden. "I expect him here every instant, and I shall then have the pleasure of introducing him to you, and we can arrange matters forthwith. You will find him, sir, a very amiable, excellent man indeed you will, sir a very proper guardian for a young man."
Quackenboss admitted it was natural to have suspicions "Especially," she said, with candour, "as you're not the first to observe the notable way Elihu's hair seems to originate from his forehead," and she pulled it up to show us. But Elihu himself sulked on in the dumps: his dignity was offended. "If you wanted to know," he said, "you might as well have asked me.
Could Elihu Quackenboss be Colonel Clay again, still dogging our steps through the opposite continent? I could not help mentioning my suspicion to Charles who, strange to say, pooh-poohed it. He had been paying great court to Mrs. Quackenboss that day, and was absurdly elated because the little American had rapped his knuckles with her fan and called him "a real silly."
Morgan L. Noble was appointed to the Fond du Lac charge and remained two years. Elihu Springer as Preacher in Charge. Brother Noble was a man of superior talent, but his health was not equal to the Itinerancy. At the close of his term at Fond du Lac, he took a location and entered secular pursuits. In 1847 Rev. Henry R. Colman was sent to Fond du Lac, and also remained two years.
But in the early seventies, there were a number of Americans studying at home or in Europe who have since won a wide reputation for inspiring achievement. Foremost among these is Elihu Vedder, born in New York City in 1836, and following, in his manhood, the manifest bent of his childish years. He went to Paris before he was of age, and from there to Rome, where he spent five years.
Just a kind-hearted man, but he loves to rule." "How about Palmer?" I inquired. "Just the same way exactly. He loves to rule, too. Got a good heart, too, but he's got a lot more money than Elihu and so people pay more attention to him, that's all. When Elihu was getting the attention he was just the finest man you ever saw, kind, generous, good-natured.
Also, that Elihu Burritt "acquired a mastery of eighteen languages and twenty-two dialects, not by rare genius, which he disclaimed, but by improving the bits and fragments of time which he could steal from his occupation as a blacksmith."
Amarita made a picture of childlike misery. Her eyes had the piteous look of coming tears, and she swallowed once or twice before speech was possible. "O Elihu," she breathed, "you don't really s'pose that, do you?" "Course he will," said Elihu. "That's the way they do come drivin' along a time o' day when there's no menfolks to home, and take in the womenfolks.
Among the men later to become distinguished, who lectured at the school, were Felix Foresti, professor at the University, and at Columbia College, Clarence Cook, Lyman Abbott, John Fiske, John Bigelow, teaching botany and charming the young ladies because he was "so handsome," and Elihu Root, then a youth fresh from college.
"Yes," said the sailboat maker quickly, "he's religious, all right, only he reads the Bible for others, not for himself." "What do you mean by that?" "Why, he wants to run things, that's what. As long as you agree with Elihu, why, everything's all right. When you don't, the Bible's against you. That's the way he is." "Did he ever disagree with you?"
