Being the central figure of the domestic circle, the fire +threw its strongest light on his massive and sturdy frame, reddening +his rough visage, so that it looked like the head of an iron statue, +all aglow, from his own forge, and with its features rudely fashioned +on his own anvil. At John Inglefield’s right hand was an empty chair. +The other places round the hearth were filled by the members of the +family, who all sat quietly, while, with a semblance of fantastic +merriment, their shadows danced on the wall behind then. One of the +group was John Inglefield’s son, who had been bred at college, and was +now a student of theology at Andover. There was also a daughter of +sixteen, whom nobody could look at without thinking of a rosebud almost +blossomed. The only other person at the fireside was Robert Moore, +formerly an apprentice of the blacksmith, but now his journeyman, and +who seemed more like an own son of John Inglefield than did the pale +and slender student. + +Only these four had kept New England’s festival beneath that roof. The +vacant chair at John Inglefield’s right hand was in memory of his wife, +whom death had snatched from him since the previous Thanksgiving. With +a feeling that few would have looked for in his rough nature, the +bereaved husband had himself set the chair in its place next his own; +and often did his eye glance thitherward, as if he deemed it possible +that the cold grave might send back its tenant to the cheerful +fireside, at least for that one evening. Thus did he cherish the grief +that was dear to him. But there was another grief which he would fain +have torn from his heart; or, since that could never be, have buried it +too deep for others to behold, or for his own remembrance. Within the +past year another member of his household had gone from him, but not to +the grave. Yet they kept no vacant chair for her. + +While John Inglefield and his family were sitting round the hearth with +the shadows dancing behind them on the wall, the outer door was opened, +and a light footstep came along the passage. The latch of the inner +door was lifted by some familiar hand, and a young girl came in, +wearing a cloak and hood, which she took off, and laid on the table +beneath the looking-glass. Then, after gazing a moment at the fireside +circle, she approached, and took the seat at John Inglefield’s right +hand, as if it had been reserved on purpose for her. + +“Here I am, at last, father,” said she. “You ate your Thanksgiving +dinner without me, but I have come back to spend the evening with you.” + +Yes, it was Prudence Inglefield. She wore the same neat and maidenly +attire which she had been accustomed to put on when the household work +was over for the day, and her hair was parted from her brow, in the +simple and modest fashion that became her best of all. If her cheek +might otherwise have been pale, yet the glow of the fire suffused it +with a healthful bloom. If she had spent the many months of her absence +in guilt and infamy, yet they seemed to have left no traces on her +gentle aspect. She could not have looked less altered, had she merely +stepped away from her father’s fireside for half an hour, and returned +while the blaze was quivering upwards from the same brands that were +burning at her departure. And to John Inglefield she was the very image +of his buried wife, such as he remembered her on the first Thanksgiving +which they had passed under their own roof. Therefore, though naturally +a stern and rugged man, he could not speak unkindly to his sinful +child, nor yet could he take her to his bosom. + +“You are welcome home, Prudence,” said he, glancing sideways at her, +and his voice faltered. “Your mother would have rejoiced to see you, +but she has been gone from us these four months.” + +“I know it, father, I know it,” replied Prudence, quickly. “And yet, +when I first came in, my eyes were so dazzled by the firelight, that +she seemed to be sitting in this very chair!” + +By this time the other members of the family had begun to recover from +their surprise, and became sensible that it was no ghost from the +grave, nor vision of their vivid recollections, but Prudence, her own +self. Her brother was the next that greeted her. He advanced and held +out his hand affectionately, as a brother should; yet not entirely like +a brother, for, with all his kindness, he was still a clergyman, and +speaking to a child of sin. + +“Sister Prudence,” said he, earnestly, “I rejoice that a merciful +Providence hath turned your steps homeward, in time for me to bid you a +last farewell. In a few weeks, sister, I am to sail as a missionary to +the far islands of the Pacific. There is not one of these beloved faces +that I shall ever hope to behold again on this earth. O, may I see all +of them--yours and all--beyond the grave!” + +A shadow flitted across the girl’s countenance. + +“The grave is very dark, brother,” answered she, withdrawing her hand +somewhat hastily from his grasp. “You must look your last at me by the +light of this fire.” + +While this was passing, the twin-girl-the rosebud that had grown on the +same stem with the castaway--stood gazing at her sister, longing to +fling herself upon her bosom, so that the tendrils of their hearts +might intertwine again. At first she was restrained by mingled grief +and shame, and by a dread that Prudence was too much changed to respond +to her affection, or that her own purity would be felt as a reproach by +the lost one. But, as she listened to the familiar voice, while the +face grew more and more familiar, she forgot everything save that +Prudence had come back. Springing forward, she would have clasped her +in a close embrace. At that very instant, however, Prudence started +from her chair, and held out both her hands, with a warning gesture. + +“No, Mary,--no, my sister,” cried she, “do not you touch me. Your bosom +must not be pressed to mine!” + +Mary shuddered and stood still, for she felt that something darker than +the grave was between Prudence and herself, though they seemed so near +each other in the light of their father’s hearth, where they had grown +up together. Meanwhile Prudence threw her eyes around the room, in +search of one who had not yet bidden her welcome. He had withdrawn from +his seat by the fireside, and was standing near the door, with his face +averted, so that his features could be discerned only by the flickering +shadow of the profile upon the wall. But Prudence called to him, in a +cheerful and kindly tone:-- + +“Come, Robert,” said she, “won’t you shake hands with your old friend?” + +Robert Moore held back for a moment, but affection struggled +powerfully, and overcame his pride and resentment; he rushed towards +Prudence, seized her hand, and pressed it to his bosom. + +“There, there, Robert!” said she, smiling sadly, as she withdrew her +hand, “you must not give me too warm a welcome.” + +And now, having exchanged greetings with each member of the family, +Prudence again seated herself in the chair at John Inglefield’s right +hand. She was naturally a girl of quick and tender sensibilities, +gladsome in her general mood, but with a bewitching pathos interfused +among her merriest words and deeds. It was remarked of her, too, that +she had a faculty, even from childhood, of throwing her own feelings, +like a spell, over her companions. Such as she had been in her days of +innocence, so did she appear this evening. Her friends, in the surprise +and bewilderment of her return, almost forgot that she had ever left +them, or that she had forfeited any of her claims to their affection. +In the morning, perhaps, they might have looked at her with altered +eyes, but by the Thanksgiving fireside they felt only that their own +Prudence had come back to them, and were thankful. John Inglefleld’s +rough visage brightened with the glow of his heart, as it grew warm and +merry within him; once or twice, even, he laughed till the room rang +again, yet seemed startled by the echo of his own mirth. The grave +young minister became as frolicsome as a school-boy. Mary, too, the +rosebud, forgot that her twin-blossom had ever been torn from the stem, +and trampled in the dust. And as for Robert Moore, he gazed at Prudence +with the bashful earnestness of love new-born, while she, with sweet +maiden coquetry, half smiled upon and half discouraged him. + +In short, it was one of those intervals when sorrow vanishes in its own +depth of shadow, and joy starts forth in transitory brightness. When +the clock struck eight, Prudence poured out her father’s customary +draught of herb-tea, which had been steeping by the fireside ever since +twilight. + +“God bless you, child!” said John Inglefield, as he took the cup from +her hand; “you have made your old father happy again. But we miss your +mother sadly, Prudence, sadly. It seems as if she ought to be here +now.” + +“Now, father, or never,” replied Prudence. + +It was now the hour for domestic worship. But while the family were +making preparations for this duty, they suddenly perceived that +Prudence had put on her cloak and hood, and was lifting the latch of +the door. + +“Prudence, Prudence! where are you going?” cried they all, with one +voice. + +As Prudence passed out of the door, she turned towards them, and flung +back her hand with a gesture of farewell. But her face was so changed +that they hardly recognized it. Sin and evil passions glowed through +its comeliness, and wrought a horrible deformity; a smile gleamed in +her eyes, as of triumphant mockery, at their surprise and grief. + +“Daughter,” cried John Inglefield, between wrath and sorrow, “stay and +be your father’s blessing, or take his curse with you!” + +For an instant Prudence lingered and looked back into the fire-lighted +room, while her countenance wore almost the expression as if she were +struggling with a fiend, who had power to seize his victim even within +the hallowed precincts of her father’s hearth. The fiend prevailed; and +Prudence vanished into the outer darkness. When the family rushed to +the door, they could see nothing, but heard the sound of wheels +rattling over the frozen ground. + +That same night, among the painted beauties at the theatre of a +neighboring city, there was one whose dissolute mirth seemed +inconsistent with any sympathy for pure affections, and for the joys +and griefs which are hallowed by them. Yet this was Prudence +Inglefield. Her visit to the Thanksgiving fireside was the realization +of one of those waking dreams in which the guilty soul will sometimes +stray back to its innocence. But Sin, alas! is careful of her +bond-slaves; they hear her voice, perhaps, at the holiest moment, and +are constrained to go whither she summons them. The same dark power +that drew Prudence Inglefleld from her father’s hearth--the same in its +nature, though heightened then to a dread necessity--would snatch a +guilty soul from the gate of heaven, and make its sin and its +punishment alike eternal. + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK JOHN INGLEFIELD’S THANKSGIVING *** + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will +be renamed. + +Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright +law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, +so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the +United States without permission and without paying copyright +royalties.

Being the +central figure of the domestic circle, the fire threw its strongest light on +his massive and sturdy frame, reddening his rough visage, so that it looked +like the head of an iron statue, all aglow, from his own forge, and with its +features rudely fashioned on his own anvil. At John Inglefield’s right +hand was an empty chair. The other places round the hearth were filled by the +members of the family, who all sat quietly, while, with a semblance of +fantastic merriment, their shadows danced on the wall behind then. One of the +group was John Inglefield’s son, who had been bred at college, and was +now a student of theology at Andover. There was also a daughter of sixteen, +whom nobody could look at without thinking of a rosebud almost blossomed. The +only other person at the fireside was Robert Moore, formerly an apprentice of +the blacksmith, but now his journeyman, and who seemed more like an own son of +John Inglefield than did the pale and slender student. +</p> + +<p> +Only these four had kept New England’s festival beneath that roof. The +vacant chair at John Inglefield’s right hand was in memory of his wife, +whom death had snatched from him since the previous Thanksgiving. With a +feeling that few would have looked for in his rough nature, the bereaved +husband had himself set the chair in its place next his own; and often did his +eye glance thitherward, as if he deemed it possible that the cold grave might +send back its tenant to the cheerful fireside, at least for that one evening. +Thus did he cherish the grief that was dear to him. But there was another grief +which he would fain have torn from his heart; or, since that could never be, +have buried it too deep for others to behold, or for his own remembrance. +Within the past year another member of his household had gone from him, but not +to the grave. Yet they kept no vacant chair for her. +</p> + +<p> +While John Inglefield and his family were sitting round the hearth with the +shadows dancing behind them on the wall, the outer door was opened, and a light +footstep came along the passage. The latch of the inner door was lifted by some +familiar hand, and a young girl came in, wearing a cloak and hood, which she +took off, and laid on the table beneath the looking-glass. Then, after gazing a +moment at the fireside circle, she approached, and took the seat at John +Inglefield’s right hand, as if it had been reserved on purpose for her. +</p> + +<p> +“Here I am, at last, father,” said she. “You ate your +Thanksgiving dinner without me, but I have come back to spend the evening with +you.” +</p> + +<p> +Yes, it was Prudence Inglefield. She wore the same neat and maidenly attire +which she had been accustomed to put on when the household work was over for +the day, and her hair was parted from her brow, in the simple and modest +fashion that became her best of all. If her cheek might otherwise have been +pale, yet the glow of the fire suffused it with a healthful bloom. If she had +spent the many months of her absence in guilt and infamy, yet they seemed to +have left no traces on her gentle aspect. She could not have looked less +altered, had she merely stepped away from her father’s fireside for half +an hour, and returned while the blaze was quivering upwards from the same +brands that were burning at her departure. And to John Inglefield she was the +very image of his buried wife, such as he remembered her on the first +Thanksgiving which they had passed under their own roof. Therefore, though +naturally a stern and rugged man, he could not speak unkindly to his sinful +child, nor yet could he take her to his bosom. +</p> + +<p> +“You are welcome home, Prudence,” said he, glancing sideways at +her, and his voice faltered. “Your mother would have rejoiced to see you, +but she has been gone from us these four months.” +</p> + +<p> +“I know it, father, I know it,” replied Prudence, quickly. +“And yet, when I first came in, my eyes were so dazzled by the firelight, +that she seemed to be sitting in this very chair!” +</p> + +<p> +By this time the other members of the family had begun to recover from their +surprise, and became sensible that it was no ghost from the grave, nor vision +of their vivid recollections, but Prudence, her own self. Her brother was the +next that greeted her. He advanced and held out his hand affectionately, as a +brother should; yet not entirely like a brother, for, with all his kindness, he +was still a clergyman, and speaking to a child of sin. +</p> + +<p> +“Sister Prudence,” said he, earnestly, “I rejoice that a +merciful Providence hath turned your steps homeward, in time for me to bid you +a last farewell. In a few weeks, sister, I am to sail as a missionary to the +far islands of the Pacific. There is not one of these beloved faces that I +shall ever hope to behold again on this earth. O, may I see all of them--yours +and all--beyond the grave!” +</p> + +<p> +A shadow flitted across the girl’s countenance. +</p> + +<p> +“The grave is very dark, brother,” answered she, withdrawing her +hand somewhat hastily from his grasp. “You must look your last at me by +the light of this fire.” +</p> + +<p> +While this was passing, the twin-girl-the rosebud that had grown on the same +stem with the castaway--stood gazing at her sister, longing to fling herself +upon her bosom, so that the tendrils of their hearts might intertwine again. At +first she was restrained by mingled grief and shame, and by a dread that +Prudence was too much changed to respond to her affection, or that her own +purity would be felt as a reproach by the lost one. But, as she listened to the +familiar voice, while the face grew more and more familiar, she forgot +everything save that Prudence had come back. Springing forward, she would have +clasped her in a close embrace. At that very instant, however, Prudence started +from her chair, and held out both her hands, with a warning gesture. +</p> + +<p> +“No, Mary,--no, my sister,” cried she, “do not you touch me. +Your bosom must not be pressed to mine!” +</p> + +<p> +Mary shuddered and stood still, for she felt that something darker than the +grave was between Prudence and herself, though they seemed so near each other +in the light of their father’s hearth, where they had grown up together. +Meanwhile Prudence threw her eyes around the room, in search of one who had not +yet bidden her welcome. He had withdrawn from his seat by the fireside, and was +standing near the door, with his face averted, so that his features could be +discerned only by the flickering shadow of the profile upon the wall. But +Prudence called to him, in a cheerful and kindly tone:-- +</p> + +<p> +“Come, Robert,” said she, “won’t you shake hands with +your old friend?” +</p> + +<p> +Robert Moore held back for a moment, but affection struggled powerfully, and +overcame his pride and resentment; he rushed towards Prudence, seized her hand, +and pressed it to his bosom. +</p> + +<p> +“There, there, Robert!” said she, smiling sadly, as she withdrew +her hand, “you must not give me too warm a welcome.” +</p> + +<p> +And now, having exchanged greetings with each member of the family, Prudence +again seated herself in the chair at John Inglefield’s right hand. She +was naturally a girl of quick and tender sensibilities, gladsome in her general +mood, but with a bewitching pathos interfused among her merriest words and +deeds. It was remarked of her, too, that she had a faculty, even from +childhood, of throwing her own feelings, like a spell, over her companions. +Such as she had been in her days of innocence, so did she appear this evening. +Her friends, in the surprise and bewilderment of her return, almost forgot that +she had ever left them, or that she had forfeited any of her claims to their +affection. In the morning, perhaps, they might have looked at her with altered +eyes, but by the Thanksgiving fireside they felt only that their own Prudence +had come back to them, and were thankful. John Inglefleld’s rough visage +brightened with the glow of his heart, as it grew warm and merry within him; +once or twice, even, he laughed till the room rang again, yet seemed startled +by the echo of his own mirth. The grave young minister became as frolicsome as +a school-boy. Mary, too, the rosebud, forgot that her twin-blossom had ever +been torn from the stem, and trampled in the dust. And as for Robert Moore, he +gazed at Prudence with the bashful earnestness of love new-born, while she, +with sweet maiden coquetry, half smiled upon and half discouraged him. +</p> + +<p> +In short, it was one of those intervals when sorrow vanishes in its own depth +of shadow, and joy starts forth in transitory brightness. When the clock struck +eight, Prudence poured out her father’s customary draught of herb-tea, +which had been steeping by the fireside ever since twilight. +</p> + +<p> +“God bless you, child!” said John Inglefield, as he took the cup +from her hand; “you have made your old father happy again. But we miss +your mother sadly, Prudence, sadly. It seems as if she ought to be here +now.” +</p> + +<p> +“Now, father, or never,” replied Prudence. +</p> + +<p> +It was now the hour for domestic worship. But while the family were making +preparations for this duty, they suddenly perceived that Prudence had put on +her cloak and hood, and was lifting the latch of the door. +</p> + +<p> +“Prudence, Prudence! where are you going?” cried they all, with one +voice. +</p> + +<p> +As Prudence passed out of the door, she turned towards them, and flung back her +hand with a gesture of farewell. But her face was so changed that they hardly +recognized it. Sin and evil passions glowed through its comeliness, and wrought +a horrible deformity; a smile gleamed in her eyes, as of triumphant mockery, at +their surprise and grief. +</p> + +<p> +“Daughter,” cried John Inglefield, between wrath and sorrow, +“stay and be your father’s blessing, or take his curse with +you!” +</p> + +<p> +For an instant Prudence lingered and looked back into the fire-lighted room, +while her countenance wore almost the expression as if she were struggling with +a fiend, who had power to seize his victim even within the hallowed precincts +of her father’s hearth. The fiend prevailed; and Prudence vanished into +the outer darkness. When the family rushed to the door, they could see nothing, +but heard the sound of wheels rattling over the frozen ground. +</p> + +<p> +That same night, among the painted beauties at the theatre of a neighboring +city, there was one whose dissolute mirth seemed inconsistent with any sympathy +for pure affections, and for the joys and griefs which are hallowed by them. +Yet this was Prudence Inglefield. Her visit to the Thanksgiving fireside was +the realization of one of those waking dreams in which the guilty soul will +sometimes stray back to its innocence. But Sin, alas! is careful of her +bond-slaves; they hear her voice, perhaps, at the holiest moment, and are +constrained to go whither she summons them. The same dark power that drew +Prudence Inglefleld from her father’s hearth--the same in its nature, +though heightened then to a dread necessity--would snatch a guilty soul from +the gate of heaven, and make its sin and its punishment alike eternal. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div style='display:block; margin-top:4em'>*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK JOHN INGLEFIELD’S THANKSGIVING ***</div> +<div style='text-align:left'> + +<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'> +Updated editions will replace the previous one—the old editions will +be renamed. +</div> + +<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'> +Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright +law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, +so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United +States without permission and without paying copyright +royalties.

Being the central figure of the domestic circle, the fire threw +its strongest light on his massive and sturdy frame, reddening his rough +visage, so that it looked like the head of an iron statue, all aglow, +from his own forge, and with its features rudely fashioned on his own +anvil. At John Inglefield's right hand was an empty chair. The other +places round the hearth were filled by the members of the family, who all +sat quietly, while, with a semblance of fantastic merriment, their +shadows danced on the wall behind then. One of the group was John +Inglefield's son, who had been bred at college, and was now a student of +theology at Andover. There was also a daughter of sixteen, whom nobody +could look at without thinking of a rosebud almost blossomed. The only +other person at the fireside was Robert Moore, formerly an apprentice of +the blacksmith, but now his journeyman, and who seemed more like an own +son of John Inglefield than did the pale and slender student. + +Only these four had kept New England's festival beneath that roof. The +vacant chair at John Inglefield's right hand was in memory of his wife, +whom death had snatched from him since the previous Thanksgiving. With a +feeling that few would have looked for in his rough nature, the bereaved +husband had himself set the chair in its place next his own; and often +did his eye glance thitherward, as if he deemed it possible that the cold +grave might send back its tenant to the cheerful fireside, at least for +that one evening. Thus did he cherish the grief that was dear to him. +But there was another grief which he would fain have torn from his heart; +or, since that could never be, have buried it too deep for others to +behold, or for his own remembrance. Within the past year another member +of his household had gone from him, but not to the grave. Yet they kept +no vacant chair for her. + +While John Inglefield and his family were sitting round the hearth with +the shadows dancing behind them on the wall, the outer door was opened, +and a light footstep came along the passage. The latch of the inner door +was lifted by some familiar hand, and a young girl came in, wearing a +cloak and hood, which she took off, and laid on the table beneath the +looking-glass. Then, after gazing a moment at the fireside circle, she +approached, and took the seat at John Inglefield's right hand, as if it +had been reserved on purpose for her. + +"Here I am, at last, father," said she. "You ate your Thanksgiving +dinner without me, but I have come back to spend the evening with you." + +Yes, it was Prudence Inglefield. She wore the same neat and maidenly +attire which she had been accustomed to put on when the household work +was over for the day, and her hair was parted from her brow, in the +simple and modest fashion that became her best of all. If her cheek +might otherwise have been pale, yet the glow of the fire suffused it with +a healthful bloom. If she had spent the many months of her absence in +guilt and infamy, yet they seemed to have left no traces on her gentle +aspect. She could not have looked less altered, had she merely stepped +away from her father's fireside for half an hour, and returned while the +blaze was quivering upwards from the same brands that were burning at her +departure. And to John Inglefield she was the very image of his buried +wife, such as he remembered her on the first Thanksgiving which they had +passed under their own roof. Therefore, though naturally a stern and +rugged man, he could not speak unkindly to his sinful child, nor yet +could he take her to his bosom. + +"You are welcome home, Prudence," said he, glancing sideways at her, and +his voice faltered. "Your mother would have rejoiced to see you, but she +has been gone from us these four months." + +"I know it, father, I know it," replied Prudence, quickly. "And yet, +when I first came in, my eyes were so dazzled by the firelight, that she +seemed to be sitting in this very chair!" + +By this time the other members of the family had begun to recover from +their surprise, and became sensible that it was no ghost from the grave, +nor vision of their vivid recollections, but Prudence, her own self. Her +brother was the next that greeted her. He advanced and held out his hand +affectionately, as a brother should; yet not entirely like a brother, +for, with all his kindness, he was still a clergyman, and speaking to a +child of sin. + +"Sister Prudence," said he, earnestly, "I rejoice that a merciful +Providence hath turned your steps homeward, in time for me to bid you a +last farewell. In a few weeks, sister, I am to sail as a missionary to +the far islands of the Pacific. There is not one of these beloved faces +that I shall ever hope to behold again on this earth. O, may I see all +of them--yours and all--beyond the grave!" + +A shadow flitted across the girl's countenance. + +"The grave is very dark, brother," answered she, withdrawing her hand +somewhat hastily from his grasp. "You must look your last at me by the +light of this fire." + +While this was passing, the twin-girl-the rosebud that had grown on the +same stem with the castaway--stood gazing at her sister, longing to fling +herself upon her bosom, so that the tendrils of their hearts might +intertwine again. At first she was restrained by mingled grief and +shame, and by a dread that Prudence was too much changed to respond to +her affection, or that her own purity would be felt as a reproach by the +lost one. But, as she listened to the familiar voice, while the face +grew more and more familiar, she forgot everything save that Prudence had +come back. Springing forward, she would have clasped her in a close +embrace. At that very instant, however, Prudence started from her chair, +and held out both her hands, with a warning gesture. + +"No, Mary,--no, my sister," cried she, "do not you touch me. Your bosom +must not be pressed to mine!" + +Mary shuddered and stood still, for she felt that something darker than +the grave was between Prudence and herself, though they seemed so near +each other in the light of their father's hearth, where they had grown up +together. Meanwhile Prudence threw her eyes around the room, in search +of one who had not yet bidden her welcome. He had withdrawn from his +seat by the fireside, and was standing near the door, with his face +averted, so that his features could be discerned only by the flickering +shadow of the profile upon the wall. But Prudence called to him, in a +cheerful and kindly tone:-- + +"Come, Robert," said she, "won't you shake hands with your old friend?" + +Robert Moore held back for a moment, but affection struggled powerfully, +and overcame his pride and resentment; he rushed towards Prudence, seized +her hand, and pressed it to his bosom. + +"There, there, Robert!" said she, smiling sadly, as she withdrew her +hand, "you must not give me too warm a welcome." + +And now, having exchanged greetings with each member of the family, +Prudence again seated herself in the chair at John Inglefield's right +hand. She was naturally a girl of quick and tender sensibilities, +gladsome in her general mood, but with a bewitching pathos interfused +among her merriest words and deeds. It was remarked of her, too, that +she had a faculty, even from childhood, of throwing her own feelings, +like a spell, over her companions. Such as she had been in her days of +innocence, so did she appear this evening. Her friends, in the surprise +and bewilderment of her return, almost forgot that she had ever left +them, or that she had forfeited any of her claims to their affection. In +the morning, perhaps, they might have looked at her with altered eyes, +but by the Thanksgiving fireside they felt only that their own Prudence +had come back to them, and were thankful. John Inglefleld's rough visage +brightened with the glow of his heart, as it grew warm and merry within +him; once or twice, even, he laughed till the room rang again, yet seemed +startled by the echo of his own mirth. The grave young minister became +as frolicsome as a school-boy. Mary, too, the rosebud, forgot that her +twin-blossom had ever been torn from the stem, and trampled in the dust. +And as for Robert Moore, he gazed at Prudence with the bashful +earnestness of love new-born, while she, with sweet maiden coquetry, half +smiled upon and half discouraged him. + +In short, it was one of those intervals when sorrow vanishes in its own +depth of shadow, and joy starts forth in transitory brightness. When the +clock struck eight, Prudence poured out her father's customary draught of +herb-tea, which had been steeping by the fireside ever since twilight. + +"God bless you, child!" said John Inglefield, as he took the cup from her +hand; "you have made your old father happy again. But we miss your +mother sadly, Prudence, sadly. It seems as if she ought to be here now." + +"Now, father, or never," replied Prudence. + +It was now the hour for domestic worship. But while the family were +making preparations for this duty, they suddenly perceived that Prudence +had put on her cloak and hood, and was lifting the latch of the door. + +"Prudence, Prudence! where are you going?" cried they all, with one +voice. + +As Prudence passed out of the door, she turned towards them, and flung +back her hand with a gesture of farewell. But her face was so changed +that they hardly recognized it. Sin and evil passions glowed through its +comeliness, and wrought a horrible deformity; a smile gleamed in her +eyes, as of triumphant mockery, at their surprise and grief. + +"Daughter," cried John Inglefield, between wrath and sorrow, "stay and be +your father's blessing, or take his curse with you!" + +For an instant Prudence lingered and looked back into the fire-lighted +room, while her countenance wore almost the expression as if she were +struggling with a fiend, who had power to seize his victim even within +the hallowed precincts of her father's hearth. The fiend prevailed; and +Prudence vanished into the outer darkness. When the family rushed to the +door, they could see nothing, but heard the sound of wheels rattling over +the frozen ground. + +That same night, among the painted beauties at the theatre of a +neighboring city, there was one whose dissolute mirth seemed inconsistent +with any sympathy for pure affections, and for the joys and griefs which +are hallowed by them. Yet this was Prudence Inglefield. Her visit to +the Thanksgiving fireside was the realization of one of those waking +dreams in which the guilty soul will sometimes stray back to its +innocence. But Sin, alas! is careful of her bond-slaves; they hear her +voice, perhaps, at the holiest moment, and are constrained to go whither +she summons them. The same dark power that drew Prudence Inglefleld from +her father's hearth--the same in its nature, though heightened then to a +dread necessity--would snatch a guilty soul from the gate of heaven, and +make its sin and its punishment alike eternal. + + + + + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of John Inglefield's Thanksgiving, by +Nathaniel Hawthorne + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK JOHN INGLEFIELD'S THANKSGIVING *** + +***** This file should be named 9241.txt or 9241.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/9/2/4/9241/ + +Produced by David Widger. + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

Being the central figure of the domestic circle, the fire threw +its strongest light on his massive and sturdy frame, reddening his rough +visage, so that it looked like the head of an iron statue, all aglow, +from his own forge, and with its features rudely fashioned on his own +anvil. At John Inglefield's right hand was an empty chair. The other +places round the hearth were filled by the members of the family, who all +sat quietly, while, with a semblance of fantastic merriment, their +shadows danced on the wall behind then. One of the group was John +Inglefield's son, who had been bred at college, and was now a student of +theology at Andover. There was also a daughter of sixteen, whom nobody +could look at without thinking of a rosebud almost blossomed. The only +other person at the fireside was Robert Moore, formerly an apprentice of +the blacksmith, but now his journeyman, and who seemed more like an own +son of John Inglefield than did the pale and slender student. + +Only these four had kept New England's festival beneath that roof. The +vacant chair at John Inglefield's right hand was in memory of his wife, +whom death had snatched from him since the previous Thanksgiving. With a +feeling that few would have looked for in his rough nature, the bereaved +husband had himself set the chair in its place next his own; and often +did his eye glance thitherward, as if he deemed it possible that the cold +grave might send back its tenant to the cheerful fireside, at least for +that one evening. Thus did he cherish the grief that was dear to him. +But there was another grief which he would fain have torn from his heart; +or, since that could never be, have buried it too deep for others to +behold, or for his own remembrance. Within the past year another member +of his household had gone from him, but not to the grave. Yet they kept +no vacant chair for her. + +While John Inglefield and his family were sitting round the hearth with +the shadows dancing behind them on the wall, the outer door was opened, +and a light footstep came along the passage. The latch of the inner door +was lifted by sonic familiar hand, and a young girl came in, wearing a +cloak and hood, which she took off, and laid on the table beneath the +looking-glass. Then, after gazing a moment at the fireside circle, she +approached, and took the seat at John Inglefield's right hand, as if it +had been reserved on purpose for her. + +"Here I am, at last, father," said she. "You ate your Thanksgiving +dinner without me, but I have come back to spend the evening with you." + +Yes, it was Prudence Inglefield. She wore the same neat and maidenly +attire which she had been accustomed to put on when the household work +was over for the day, and her hair was parted from her brow, in the +simple and modest fashion that became her best of all. If her cheek +might otherwise have been pale, yet the glow of the fire suffused it with +a healthful bloom. If she had spent the many mouths of her absence in +guilt and infamy, yet they seemed to have left no traces on her gentle +aspect. She could not have looked less altered, had she merely stepped +away from her father's fireside for half an hour, and returned while the +blaze was quivering upwards from the same brands that were burning at her +departure. And to John Inglefield she was the very image of his buried +wife, such as he remembered her on the first Thanksgiving which they had +passed under their own roof. Therefore, though naturally a stern and +rugged man, he could not speak unkindly to his sinful child, nor yet +could he take her to his bosom. + +"You are welcome home, Prudence," said he, glancing sideways at her, and +his voice faltered. "Your mother would have rejoiced to see you, but she +has been gone from us these four months." + +"I know it, father, I know it," replied Prudence, quickly. "And yet, +when I first came in, my eyes were so dazzled by the firelight, that she +seemed to be sitting in this very chair!" + +By this time the other members of the family had begun to recover from +their surprise, and became sensible that it was no ghost from the grave, +nor vision of their vivid recollections, but Prudence, her own self. Her +brother was the next that greeted her. He advanced and held out his hand +affectionately, as a brother should; yet not entirely like a brother, +for, with all his kindness, he was still a clergyman, and speaking to a +child of sin. + +"Sister Prudence," said he, earnestly, "I rejoice that a merciful +Providence hath turned your steps homeward, in time for me to bid you a +last farewell. In a few weeks, sister, I am to sail as a missionary to +the far islands of the Pacific. There is not one of these beloved faces +that I shall ever hope to behold again on this earth. O, may I see all +of them--yours and all--beyond the grave!" + +A shadow flitted across the girl's countenance. + +"The grave is very dark, brother," answered she, withdrawing her hand +somewhat hastily from his grasp. "You must look your last at me by the +light of this fire." + +While this was passing, the twin-girl-the rosebud that had grown on the +same stem with the castaway--stood gazing at her sister, longing to fling +herself upon her bosom, so that the tendrils of their hearts might +intertwine again. At first she was restrained by mingled grief and +shame, and by a dread that Prudence was too much changed to respond to +her affection, or that her own purity would be felt as a reproach by the +lost one. But, as she listened to the familiar voice, while the face +grew more and more familiar, she forgot everything save that Prudence had +come back. Springing forward, she would have clasped her in a close +embrace. At that very instant, however, Prudence started from her chair, +and held out both her hands, with a warning gesture. + +"No, Mary,--no, my sister," cried she, "do not you touch me. Your bosom +must not be pressed to mine!" + +Mary shuddered and stood still, for she felt that something darker than +the grave was between Prudence and herself, though they seemed so near +each other in the light of their father's hearth, where they had grown up +together. Meanwhile Prudence threw her eyes around the room, in search +of one who had not yet bidden her welcome. He had withdrawn from his +seat by the fireside, and was standing near the door, with his face +averted, so that his features could be discerned only by the flickering +shadow of the profile upon the wall. But Prudence called to him, in a +cheerful and kindly tone:-- + +"Come, Robert," said she, "won't you shake hands with your old friend?" + +Robert Moore held back for a moment, but affection struggled powerfully, +and overcame his pride and resentment; he rushed towards Prudence, seized +her hand, and pressed it to his bosom. + +"There, there, Robert!" said she, smiling sadly, as she withdrew her +hand, "you must not give me too warm a welcome." + +And now, having exchanged greetings with each member of the family, +Prudence again seated herself in the chair at John Inglefield's right +hand. She was naturally a girl of quick and tender sensibilities, +gladsome in her general mood, but with a bewitching pathos interfused +among her merriest words and deeds. It was remarked of her, too, that +she had a faculty, even from childhood, of throwing her own feelings, +like a spell, over her companions. Such as she had been in her days of +innocence, so did she appear this evening. Her friends, in the surprise +and bewilderment of her return, almost forgot that she had ever left +them, or that she had forfeited any of her claims to their affection. In +the morning, perhaps, they might have looked at her with altered eyes, +but by the Thanksgiving fireside they felt only that their own Prudence +had come back to them, and were thankful. John Inglefleld's rough visage +brightened with the glow of his heart, as it grew warm and merry within +him; once or twice, even, he laughed till the room rang again, yet seemed +startled by the echo of his own mirth. The grave young minister became +as frolicsome as a school-boy. Mary, too, the rosebud, forgot that her +twin-blossom had ever been torn from the stem, and trampled in the dust. +And as for Robert Moore, he gazed at Prudence with the bashful +earnestness of love new-born, while she, with sweet maiden coquetry, half +smiled upon and half discouraged him. + +In short, it was one of those intervals when sorrow vanishes in its own +depth of shadow, and joy starts forth in transitory brightness. When the +clock struck eight, Prudence poured out her father's customary draught of +herb-tea, which had been steeping by the fireside ever since twilight. + +"God bless you, child!" said John Inglefield, as he took the cup from her +hand; "you have made your old father happy again. But we miss your +mother sadly, Prudence, sadly. It seems as if she ought to be here now." + +"Now, father, or never," replied Prudence. + +It was now the hour for domestic worship. But while the family were +making preparations for this duty, they suddenly perceived that Prudence +had put on her cloak and hood, and was lifting the latch of the door. + +"Prudence, Prudence! where are you going?" cried they all, with one +voice. + +As Prudence passed out of the door, she turned towards them, and flung +back her hand with a gesture of farewell. But her face was so changed +that they hardly recognized it. Sin and evil passions glowed through its +comeliness, and wrought a horrible deformity; a smile gleamed in her +eyes, as of triumphant mockery, at their surprise and grief. + +"Daughter," cried John Inglefield, between wrath and sorrow, "stay and be +your father's blessing, or take his curse with you!" + +For an instant Prudence lingered and looked back into the fire-lighted +room, while her countenance wore almost the expression as if she were +struggling with a fiend, who had power to seize his victim even within +the hallowed precincts of her father's hearth. The fiend prevailed; and +Prudence vanished into the outer darkness. When the family rushed to the +door, they could see nothing, but heard the sound of wheels rattling over +the frozen ground. + +That same night, among the painted beauties at the theatre of a +neighboring city, there was one whose dissolute mirth seemed inconsistent +with any sympathy for pure affections, and for the joys and griefs which +are hallowed by them. Yet this was Prudence Inglefield. Her visit to +the Thanksgiving fireside was the realization of one of those waking +dreams in which the guilty soul will sometimes stray back to its +innocence. But Sin, alas! is careful of her bond-slaves; they hear her +voice, perhaps, at the holiest moment, and are constrained to go whither +she summons them. The same dark power that drew Prudence Inglefleld from +her father's hearth--the same in its nature, though heightened then to a +dread necessity--would snatch a guilty soul from the gate of heaven, and +make its sin and its punishment alike eternal. + + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, INGLEFIELD'S THANKSGIVING *** +By Nathaniel Hawthorne + +******* This file should be named haw6810.txt or haw6810.zip ******** + +Corrected EDITIONS of our etexts get a new NUMBER, haw6811.txt +VERSIONS based on separate sources get new LETTER, haw6810a.txt + +This eBook was produced by David Widger [widger@cecomet.net] + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
