Oh
no
!
She
always
laughs
at
him
;
and
he
is
not
likely
to
think
of
her
in
any
other
than
a
brotherly
way
.
"
Caleb
made
no
rejoinder
,
but
presently
lowered
his
spectacles
,
drew
up
his
chair
to
the
desk
,
and
said
,
"
Deuce
take
the
bill
—
I
wish
it
was
at
Hanover
!
These
things
are
a
sad
interruption
to
business
!
"
The
first
part
of
this
speech
comprised
his
whole
store
of
maledictory
expression
,
and
was
uttered
with
a
slight
snarl
easy
to
imagine
.
But
it
would
be
difficult
to
convey
to
those
who
never
heard
him
utter
the
word
"
business
,
"
the
peculiar
tone
of
fervid
veneration
,
of
religious
regard
,
in
which
he
wrapped
it
,
as
a
consecrated
symbol
is
wrapped
in
its
gold
-
fringed
linen
.
Caleb
Garth
often
shook
his
head
in
meditation
on
the
value
,
the
indispensable
might
of
that
myriad
-
headed
,
myriad
-
handed
labor
by
which
the
social
body
is
fed
,
clothed
,
and
housed
.
It
had
laid
hold
of
his
imagination
in
boyhood
.
The
echoes
of
the
great
hammer
where
roof
or
keel
were
a
-
making
,
the
signal
-
shouts
of
the
workmen
,
the
roar
of
the
furnace
,
the
thunder
and
plash
of
the
engine
,
were
a
sublime
music
to
him
;
the
felling
and
lading
of
timber
,
and
the
huge
trunk
vibrating
star
-
like
in
the
distance
along
the
highway
,
the
crane
at
work
on
the
wharf
,
the
piled
-
up
produce
in
warehouses
,
the
precision
and
variety
of
muscular
effort
wherever
exact
work
had
to
be
turned
out
—
all
these
sights
of
his
youth
had
acted
on
him
as
poetry
without
the
aid
of
the
poets
.
had
made
a
philosophy
for
him
without
the
aid
of
philosophers
,
a
religion
without
the
aid
of
theology
.
His
early
ambition
had
been
to
have
as
effective
a
share
as
possible
in
this
sublime
labor
,
which
was
peculiarly
dignified
by
him
with
the
name
of
"
business
;
"
and
though
he
had
only
been
a
short
time
under
a
surveyor
,
and
had
been
chiefly
his
own
teacher
,
he
knew
more
of
land
,
building
,
and
mining
than
most
of
the
special
men
in
the
county
.
His
classification
of
human
employments
was
rather
crude
,
and
,
like
the
categories
of
more
celebrated
men
,
would
not
be
acceptable
in
these
advanced
times
.
He
divided
them
into
"
business
,
politics
,
preaching
,
learning
,
and
amusement
.
"
He
had
nothing
to
say
against
the
last
four
;
but
he
regarded
them
as
a
reverential
pagan
regarded
other
gods
than
his
own
.
In
the
same
way
,
he
thought
very
well
of
all
ranks
,
but
he
would
not
himself
have
liked
to
be
of
any
rank
in
which
he
had
not
such
close
contact
with
"
business
"
as
to
get
often
honorably
decorated
with
marks
of
dust
and
mortar
,
the
damp
of
the
engine
,
or
the
sweet
soil
of
the
woods
and
fields
.
Though
he
had
never
regarded
himself
as
other
than
an
orthodox
Christian
,
and
would
argue
on
prevenient
grace
if
the
subject
were
proposed
to
him
,
I
think
his
virtual
divinities
were
good
practical
schemes
,
accurate
work
,
and
the
faithful
completion
of
undertakings
:
his
prince
of
darkness
was
a
slack
workman
.
But
there
was
no
spirit
of
denial
in
Caleb
,
and
the
world
seemed
so
wondrous
to
him
that
he
was
ready
to
accept
any
number
of
systems
,
like
any
number
of
firmaments
,
if
they
did
not
obviously
interfere
with
the
best
land
-
drainage
,
solid
building
,
correct
measuring
,
and
judicious
boring
(
for
coal
)
.
In
fact
,
he
had
a
reverential
soul
with
a
strong
practical
intelligence
.
But
he
could
not
manage
finance
:
he
knew
values
well
,
but
he
had
no
keenness
of
imagination
for
monetary
results
in
the
shape
of
profit
and
loss
:
and
having
ascertained
this
to
his
cost
,
he
determined
to
give
up
all
forms
of
his
beloved
"
business
"
which
required
that
talent
He
gave
himself
up
entirely
to
the
many
kinds
of
work
which
he
could
do
without
handling
capital
,
and
was
one
of
those
precious
men
within
his
own
district
whom
everybody
would
choose
to
work
for
them
,
because
he
did
his
work
well
,
charged
very
little
,
and
often
declined
to
charge
at
all
.
It
is
no
wonder
,
then
,
that
the
Garths
were
poor
,
and
"
lived
in
a
small
way
.
"
However
,
they
did
not
mind
it
.
"
Love
seeketh
not
itself
to
please
,
Nor
for
itself
hath
any
careBut
for
another
gives
its
easeAnd
builds
a
heaven
in
hell
’
s
despair
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Love
seeketh
only
self
to
please
,
To
bind
another
to
its
delight
,
Joys
in
another
’
s
loss
of
ease
,
And
builds
a
hell
in
heaven
’
s
despite

BLAKE
:
Songs
of
Experience
Fred
Vincy
wanted
to
arrive
at
Stone
Court
when
Mary
could
not
expect
him
,
and
when
his
uncle
was
not
down
-
stairs
in
that
case
she
might
be
sitting
alone
in
the
wainscoted
parlor
.
He
left
his
horse
in
the
yard
to
avoid
making
a
noise
on
the
gravel
in
front
,
and
entered
the
parlor
without
other
notice
than
the
noise
of
the
door
-
handle
.
Mary
was
in
her
usual
corner
,
laughing
over
Mrs
.
Piozzi
’
s
recollections
of
Johnson
,
and
looked
up
with
the
fun
still
in
her
face
.
It
gradually
faded
as
she
saw
Fred
approach
her
without
speaking
,
and
stand
before
her
with
his
elbow
on
the
mantel
-
piece
,
looking
ill
.
She
too
was
silent
,
only
raising
her
eyes
to
him
inquiringly
.
"
Mary
,
"
he
began
,
"
I
am
a
good
-
for
-
nothing
blackguard
.
"
