Question

He was ready to encounter an evil spirit

Endowed with common sense as massive and hard as blocks of granite

Fastened togethercby stern rigidity of purpose

He followed out his original design

On the score of delicacy of any scrupulousness which a finer sensibility might have taught him the colonel like most of his breed and generation was impenetrable

Whence Mather Maule forty years before had first swept away the fallen leaves
