I never saw him there without gladness. The legislature had begun its session in an economical mood, as is more or less the habit of legislatures, I believe, and was even considering a proposition to reduce the salary and mileage of its members.

At first he let the conductor take up the mileage on his ticket as far as Ponkwasset Junction; but when he got there he kept on with the train, northward, in the pretence that he was going on as far as Willoughby Junction, to look after some business of his quarries.
