"Macknight on the Epistles, -that's the name of the book?" "Yes, sir, if you please. I am desirous of consulting it with a view-" "Well, this way, Mr. Jacobs. Here's the librarian. Mr. Stillingfleet, let me introduce my friend, the Reverend Mr. Jacobs, of West Weathersfield." "I am proud to make your acquaintance, sir," said Mr. Jacobs, taking the librarian's hand with an air of diffident veneration. "Mr. Jacobs wishes to consult Mackwright on the Epistles."

Did not old John Morton come from the same place?" "To be sure he did. He was the glory of the town. He pulled down the old clapboard meeting house that his father used to preach in, and built a new one for him: besides giving a start in business to half the young men of the village." "Do you see that undergraduate at the end of the hall, standing by the last alcove, reading?" "Yes; what about him? He seems a hardy, good-looking young fellow enough." "He is John Morton's son."
