' 'And is it _very_ dangerous at sea; now, too, there are rumours of war?'she asked uneasily.
'O, well, there be risks. Still . . . ' The idea grew and magnified, and the mother's heart was crushed andstifled by it. Emmy was growing _too_ patronizing; it could not beborne. Shadrach's wife could not help nagging him about theircomparative poverty. The young men, amiable as their father, when spokento on the subject of a voyage of enterprise, were quite willing toembark; and though they, like the...ir father, had no great love for thesea, they became quite enthusiastic when the proposal was detailed.
Everything now hung upon their mother's assent. She withheld it long, but at last gave the word: the young men might accompany their father. Shadrach was unusually cheerful about it: Heaven had preserved himhitherto, and he had uttered his thanks. God would not forsake those whowere faithful to him.
All that the Jolliffes possessed in the world was put into theenterprise. The grocery stock was pared down to the least that possiblycould afford a bare sustenance to Joanna during the absence, which was tolast through the usual 'New-f'nland spell.
