Excerpt: ...courses enjoined on him. ''He talked much,'' said Matthew, ''of the honour of suffering for the truth, and how he must not be the vile coward to refuse it. And I had never been able to beat him away from that, but for the excellent counsel of one that was riding with him; I think he was a Quaker also, for he could talk with Master Andrew in his own dialect.'' ''What manner of man was he?'' said our aunt.

''Well, what said he to persuade my poor lad?'' asked aunt. ''Why, he bade him remember certain works of mercy he had already in hand, which should not be neglected to gratify a mad fancy of thrusting his head in the lion''s mouth whenever it was opened against him. So Master Andrew was ashamed of his rashness, and was persuaded to take himself away for a time; and we parted very lovingly. He says it shall not be long ere you hear from him, mistress.'' I believe, in spite of Matthew''s contrary opinion, that Andrew''s counsellor was no other than the famous man whom our aunt had named. But I have no proof of this, only mine own strong persuasion. Not many days hereafter, we had proof that Mr. Stokes had been very honest in his warning to us.
