By dint of good feeding, moreover, the mortal and malignant soul, which is confined in the belly, and which, by its raging and roaring, puts the irritable soul in the neighborhood of the heart in an intolerable passion, and thus renders men crusty and quarrelsome when hungry, is completely pacified, silenced, and put to rest; whereupon a host of honest, good-fellow qualities and kind-hearted affections, which had lain perdue, slily peeping out of the loopholes of the heart, finding this Cerberus asleep, do pluck up their spirits, turn out one and all in their holiday suits, and gambol up and down the diaphragm disposing their possessor to laughter, good humor, and a thousand friendly offices towards his fellow-mortals.
Old Washy Gallup and Amiel Perdue suddenly remembered that it was almost chore time as this radiant young woman said: "I wish to see Mr. Abram Silt Captain Silt. Is he here?" "I'm him, miss," Cap'n Abe returned politely.
"I 'lowed so," said a man in the buggy, "for we don't grow many of your size about here. I have heard that they used to, but they don't now. Good many things have happened since that day you come over to see me about the school. I'm Perdue. And, by the way, there's a hundred dollars at my house waitin' for you, and if you don't come after it I'll send it over."
"Out there I have trouble, here I shall have peace," muttered the young woman, as she entered the children's dormitory, where every tiny cot was now occupied by a little, sleeping child. Salome prepared to retire, and in a few moments she also was at rest, with her little Marie Perdue in her arms. Christmas had come on Saturday that year.
The New-Year's call is one of several things alluded to in the text that were in vogue when the story was written, but seem anachronisms in 1893. "Perdue, what can I do down here? Vail always said that I could do something, if I would try." "Why, Charley, start a club. That's what these fellows need. How I should like to hear you talk again!" How provoking this is!
"Good!" said Charley; "Vail preserved his taste for the antique to the last." "Perdue, what do you think of this for a club-house?" "Just the thing if you can get it. Ten chances to one it belongs to some saloonkeeper who wouldn't rent it for purposes of civilization." "Oh, I'll get it!
They slake their nostalgia a little in the presence of that enfant perdue of a lost civilization.
That's all I want the house, the path and the spring, with just a little strip running a short distance down the brook where the moss is so thick. I have the promise of money from Perdue, and I think that I can borrow some of Conkwright. Yes, I must have the house and the path and the spring and the strip of moss-land that lies along the branch.
"Mama said, 'la pauvre petite, elle est perdue." "Ah, she said perdue. Do go on." Marion was ready to cry. "Why, I don't know; Auntie went in to see your father. Your cousins rode away to look for you, and Moritz said, 'If I only had that Pole in reach of my pistol. I made camomile tea for Auntie and Mama." "Marion, Marion," Billy interrupted, "you're not much on story-telling."
Certainly, this success has not been due to any vigorous exercise of virtue on my part, but solely to the existence of that cool, reflective reason which lay perdue beneath all the extravagances of my mind. I possessed, even as a child, an unusual share of what phrenologists call Concentrativeness.
