" 'Demagogue'!" mutters Dr. Franklin. "Our excellent Sprout1 Penn, the latest of his crypto-Jesuit ruling family, and his Satanick arrangement with Mr. Allen, his shameless Attentions to the Presbyterian Mobility,— has the effrontery3 to speak of 'crushing this Demagogue'— well, well, aye, Demagogue...Milton thought it a 'Goblin word,' that might yet describe good Patriots4,— '
"Good Patriots all!" cries the impulsive5 Mr. Dixon, raising his Cup.
Dr. Franklin observes them, one at a time, through the tinted6 lenses of Spectacles of his own Invention, for moderating the Glare of the Sun, whose Elevation7 upon his Nose varies, according to the message it hap8?pens to be inflecting, giving over all the impression of a Visitor from very far away indeed. The Geometers have encounter'd the eminent9 Philadel-phian quite by chance, in the pungent10 and dim back reaches of an Apothecary11 in Locust-Street, each Gentleman upon a distinct mission of chemical Necessity, as among these shelves and bins12, the Godfrey's Cor?dial and Bateman's Drops, Hooper's Female Pills and Smith's Medicinal Snuff, hasty bargains are struck, Strings13 of numbers and letters and alchemists' Signs whisper'd (and some never written down), whilst a quiet warm'd Narcosis, as of a drawing to evening far out in a Country of fields where drying herbal crops lie, just perceptibly breathing, possesses the Shop Interior, rendering14 it indistinct as to size, legality, or destiny.
Dixon is accosting15 at length a clerk who has taken him for one more English tourist hectically16 out in search of Chinamen's Drugs,— "Any- thing, ideally, with Ooahpium in it will do...? Al-cohol to keep it in solu?tion of course...perhaps some For-mulation that would go well with the Daffy's Elixir17 of which we plan to purchase,— eeh, how many Cases was that again, Mr. Mason...?"
Mason glares back, too keenly aware of the celebrated18 American Philosopher's Eye upon them,— having hoped to project before it, some?how, at least the forms of Precedence,— but of course Dixon's rustic19 Familiarities have abolish'd, yet again, any such hope,— one more Sta?tion of the Cross to be put up with. "Any matter of Supply falls into your area, Dixon. Have a word with Mr. McClean if you're not sure," hearing how it sounds, even as he goes on with it.
Dixon remains20 cheery. "In thah' welcome Event," making a carefree motion in the Air with his Handkerchief, "an hundred Cases should do the trick, for this time out, anyway,— Now as to that Oahpiated article we were discussing,—
"Aye, we call it a Laudanum, Sir,— compounded according to the original Formulae of the noted21 Dr. Paracelsus, of Germany."
"An hundred Cases?" screams Mason, "have you gone insane? This is a Church-going Province,— 'twill never be authoriz'd."
"Preventive against a variety of Ailments23, Sir...?— excellent anti-costive properties,— given the Uncertainty24 of Diet,—
"The Commissioners25 know all too well about Daffy's Elixir, and the uses 'tis put to," Mr. Franklin, who has been attending the exchange, here feels he must point out. "And being imported, 'tis only to be had, at prices charg'd in the English-shops. Now, for a tenth of that outrageous26 sum, our good Apothecary Mr. Mispick will compound you a 'Salutis' impossible to distinguish from the original. Or you may design your own, consulting with him as to your preferr'd Ratio of Jalap to Senna, which variety of Treacle28 pleases you,— all the fine points of Daffyolatry are known to him, he has seen it all, and nothing will shock or offend him." He raises a Finger. " 'Strangers, heed29 my wise advice,— Never pay the Retail31 Price.' "
"This is kind of you Sir, for fair...? Mr. Mason's choices, illustrative of a more Bacchic Leaning, enjoying Priority of mine, so must I rest content with more modest outlays32, from my own meager33 Purse, alas34, for any Philtres peculiarly useful to m'self... ?”
Dr. Franklin shifts his Lenses as if for a clearer look at Dixon. A Smile struggles to find its way through lips purs'd in Speculation,— but before it quite may, being the sort of man who, tho' never seen to consult a Time-piece, always knows the exact Time, "Come," he bids the Astronomers36 abruptly37, "— you've not yet been to a Philadelphia Coffee?house? Poh,— we must amend38 that,— something no Visitor should miss,— I must transact39 an Item or two of Business,— would you honor me by having a brief Sip40 at my Local, The Blue Jamaica?"
"London," Mr. Mason is soon reporting, "is quite thoroughly41 charm'd by your Glass Armonica, thanks to the Artistry of the excellent Miss Davies."
"I have done my utmost to convince Miss Davies that, given the gen?eral Frangibility, use of any strong Vibrato could prove,— putting it as gallantly42 as possible,— unwise. Yet she plays so beautifully. My idle Toy has found itself fortunately arriv'd, among a small Host of Virtuosi. Heav?ens. The Mozart child,— and these Tales I keep hearing, of the young Parisian Doctor, Mesmer, who plays it, 'tis said, unusually well."
"Not the Magnetickal Gent?" says Mason.
"The very same. Known to the R.S. for some time, I collect."
"At The Mitre, he is ever reliable as a topick of lively Discourse43."
"Where Franklin is a Member, and tha've scarcely been a Guest," Dixon may be muttering to himself. Aloud,— " 'Scuse me, Friend," briskly upon his feet, "where does one go over the Heap around here?"
Mr. Franklin points out to him a Door to the Yard, and when he is out of earshot, begins, it seems abruptly, to inquire about the Surveyor's "Calvert connections."
Mason is perplex'd. "I didn't know there were any. I imagin'd, that being of a Quaker family, he was deem'd acceptable to the Pennsylvani-ans, but have ever been at a loss to explain his appeal, if any, to the Marylanders."
"The Calverts are content to live in England,— as they are Catholics, their children are educated across the Channel, in St. Omer. One of the Jesuits teaching there is a certain Le Maire, who is native to Durham and a particular friend of Dixon's teacher, William Emerson,— “
"Yes. But you'd have to ask Dixon about the Jesuit. I know of him only as the partner of Roger Boscovich,— the two degrees of Latitude44 in Italy,—"
- from Rome to Rimini, aye." Franklin, behind his Orchid46-hued
Lenses, waits for Mason to work out the Comparisons.
"What's going on, then?" Mason trying to peer, he hopes not as trucu?lently as he feels, into the shadowy Lunettes.
"You might sometime find yourself discussing these matters with your Second,—
"After which," Mason replies, as Franklin suddenly, with naked nar-row'd eyes, looks over the tops of his Spectacles and nods encouragingly, - I am to relate the Minutes of it all to you?"
Mr. Franklin replacing his "Glasses," "Not if it causes you Discom?fort, Sir. Although some Discomforts47 may ever be eas'd by timely appli?cation of Ben's Universal Balm,—
- yet do others continue intractable. Why, Dr. Franklin, are you
urging me to this, may I say, dismal48 choice?"
"Oh,— wagering49 against your loyalty," Franklin shrugs50. "An elemen?tary exercise,— and pray, do not feel you have in any way offended me,— as an adult, I am no stranger to Rejection51, I have long learn'd to deal with it in Dignity, as a sane22 man would,— and without Resentment52, motive53 for it though I may enjoy in Abundance."
"Sir, I cannot spy upon him for you. I am sorry the Politics here have become so, as one would say, Italian, in their intricacies. But my con27?tractual Tasks alone will be difficult enough without— ah and here is Mr. Dixon."
"D'you know a lad nam'd Lewis? Said he knew you, Dr. Franklin."
"Where was this?" Franklin has begun twirling the hair upon either side of his Head, into long Curls.
"Just out in the Alley54. He tried to sell me a Watch...? said it was a Masonick Astrologer's Model...? Signs of the Zoahdiahck...? Pheases of the Moon,—
"You didn't— "
"Couldn't. Not unless one of you wants to lend me—
"I'll go have a look," Mason rising. "Come along Dixon, and point him out?”
"Eeh, Ah think he's gone...?" Dixon now preoccupied55 with pouring the contents of a small Vial into his Coffee.
Mason, unable to insist without appearing to wish to consult out of Franklin's hearing, and needing to piss anyhow, shrugs and withdraws. The moment he vanishes, Franklin begins to press Dixon upon the Top-ick of Mason's "East India Company Connections."
"Is thah' the Dutch or the English one?" Dixon's Phiz altogether inno?cent. "Ah'm ever confounding 'em...?"
Franklin at last allowing himself to chuckle56. "Friend Dixon,— Loy?alty is a Gem2, of Worth innate57, Whose price is never notic'd,— till too late."
"We've had an Adventure or two, you see."
"Ah, me. Don't suppose the name Sam Peach of Chalford would ring a Bell...?"
With quizzical sincerity58, "One of thoase lads in The Beggar's Opera...?— "
"Well, well, Mr. Dixon, be easy, I release you,— and look ye, here again is your Companion."
"The man's an entire Instrument-shop," says Mason, "? - droll59 sort of friend for you to have, Dr. Franklin,— interesting Wig60.... Told me a Riddle61, in fact,— Why is the King like a near-sighted Gunner?— 'Well d——'d if I know,' I said back, 'but Dr. Franklin is sure to.''
"Mr. Mason! Dear, dear. How would I know any such Joak? Or person?"
"Why, to help you find out how much,— - and how foolishly,— - we have to spend, perhaps!" sing Mason and Dixon.
"Phlogiston and Electric Fir-r-re,— " cries the eminent Philadelphian, "if I'm not the Biter bi-i-t. As you'd say, trans-parent, was I?... Awk?ward62... should've just ask'd them at the Royal Society, being a member
after all....Indeed, I was among 'em at the time you fought the French
Vessel,— in London, when you wrote to them...quite a Hub-Bub, Gen?tlemen! Tho' absent from the meeting which approv'd their reply to you,— innocent, you understand,— I did attend the next, a classick Dis?play of those people at their worst. Taken one at a time,— dear Tom Birch, august Hadley the Quadrant's Eponym, Mr. Short, Dr. Morton,— excellent minds, invigorating Company,— but when they got all in a Herd,— bless us, the Stubbornness! They knew the French had Ben-
eoolen and would be as content to sink the Seahorse there, as off Brest. They all knew. But they could never allow upstarts to advise them in matters of Global strategy. Alas, the British,— bloody-minded to the end, so long as it be somebody else's Blood. Thus the Board of Trade, thus the House of Commons.... Up there, day after day, instructing them, gently,— a Schoolmaster for Idiots.— Sooner or later, no offense63, Gen?tlemen, Americans must fight them—
"Hurrah64, howbeit?— for I am res-cued." He refers in his courtly way, to the arrival of a pair of young Women, both quite pleasant-looking, tho' deck'd out with what, even to the unschool'd Eye, seems willful Eccen?tricity, and who may or may not have been among those in the Carriage which had been earlier at the Landing.
"There he is!"
"Oh, Doctor!" more than vigorously nudging one another, and laugh?ing at differing rates of Speed.
"These are Molly and Dolly," Franklin introduces them, "Students of the Electrickal Arts, whom I am pleas'd from time to time to examine, in the Sub-ject, ye-e-s.... If you've the Inclination65 tonight, Gentlemen, I am giving a recital66, upon the Glass Instrument, at the sign of The Fair Anchor, upon Carpenters Wharf67, just down from The London Coffee House. 'Tis a sort of,— what is the Word I grope for,—
"Gin-shop," sings Molly.
"Opium68 den," cries Dolly.
"Ladies, Ladies—"
"Doctor, Doctor!" As the Philosopher, attempting to maintain his Hair in some order, is slowly absorb'd into a mirthful Cloud of tartan-edg'd Emerald Green and luminous69 Coral taffeta, Prints with a Lap-Dog Motif70, ribbons with "Sailor Beware," "No free Kisses," "Be Quick about it," and other humorous slogans woven into them, Flounces and loose Hats and wand'ring Tresses, the Astronomers reckon it as good a moment as any to be off. Passing into the Street, they can hear Molly piping, "And she swore to me, she saw it glowing in the Dark...?"
Outside they stand, blinking. "I don't knaahw...?.. .Hadn't thoo imag-in'd him as somehow more..."
"Organized. Aye. By Reputation, he is a man entirely71 at ease with the inner structures of Time itself. Yet, here he seems strangely...”
"Unfoahcused, as we Lensmen say...?"
Mason rolling his eyes, "Perhaps we should pop into that Fair Anchor this Evening, what think you?"
"Aye, happen those two canny72 Electricians'll be there...? Rather fancied old Dolly myself. Woman knows how to turn herself out, 'd tha noatice?"
Hearing what he imagines to be an Emphasis upon "two," Mason directs at Dixon an effortful smile, meaning, "Go ahead, but don't expect me to ascend73 wearily out of my Melancholia just so ev'rybody else can have their own idea of a good time,"— which happens to be the most Dixon would ever think of asking of him, anyhow. And withal, when they show up at The Fair Anchor that Night, it turns out to be Mason's sort of place nicely,— basic and bleak74, discouraging ev'ry attempt, even grunt75?ing, that might suggest Conviviality76, the wood Furniture carv'd upon, splinter'd and scarr'd, the Stale-Ale as under-hopp'd, as 'tis over-water'd. They secure a place along the Bar, and presently Mr. Franklin appears, having exchang'd his Orchid Spectacles for Half-Lenses of Nocturnal Blue. The occupants of the Room, hitherto strewn without more purpose than the human Jetsam of any large Seaport77, all sit up at once, draw together, and with the precision of a long-rehears'd Claque, begin to chatter78 of Miss Davies, and Gluck, and ineluctably, Mesmer.
The Instrument awaits him, its nested Crystal Hemispheres, each tun'd to a Note of the Scale, carefully brought hither through reef'd-Topsail seas and likewise whelming Anxieties back at Lloyd's regarding the inherent Vice30 of Glass added to the yet imperfectly known contin?gencies of voyage by Ship,— brought to shine in this commodious79 Cor?ner, beneath a portrait of some Swedish Statesman too darken'd with Room-smoke for anyone to be sure who it is any more,— Oxenstjerna, Gyllenstjerna, Gyllenborg, who knows?— discussions often becoming quite spirited, though, of course, conducted in Swedish. It has hung there, growing into its Anonymity80, since the early times of the Swedish settlers,— gazing into the room, at the nightly dramas of lost conscious?ness and squander'd Coin, at gaming and roaring and varieties inex?haustible of Argument. Behind it rises a Flight of stairs, up and down which creeps a ceaseless Traffick. Many pause to stare over the false Mahogany Railing at Dr. Franklin seated at his Glass Armonica, or down upon the Figures and into the Decolletages of Molly and Dolly, who not only have show'd up, but have brought along two more young women with similar ideas about Fashion. "These Doxies," Mason mutters, "look ye,— they're staring at me. I can feel myself becoming Unreasonably81 Suspicious."
"Rest easy,— 'tis me they want," Dixon waving.
"Jerry! Charlie! Over here!" The Ladies seem delighted. Dr. Franklin waits for the parties to rearrange their seating, then strikes a C major chord. The room quiets instantly. He begins to play, rotating, by way of a Treadle Arrangement, the horizontal Stack of Glasses thro' a Trough of Water, to keep the Rims82 ever wet, and then simply touching83 each wet rim45 moving by, as he would have touch'd the Key of an Organ, to produce a queerly hoarse84, ringing Tone. If Chimes could whisper, if Melodies could pass away, and their Souls wander the Earth.. .if Ghosts danced at Ghost Ridottoes, 'twould require such Musick, Sentiment ever held back, ever at the Edge of breaking forth85, in Fragments, as Glass breaks.
Upon one of his intermissions, the Doctor, having secur'd a Pot of Ale, approaches the Geometers. "Come and meet Mr. Tallihoe, of Virginia," who proves to be anxious that they visit with Col° Washington, of that Province.
"You'll want to have a chat,— he's been out there, knows the country, the Inhabitants,— Surveyor, like yourselves."
Dixon here must suppress a Chuckle, knowing how it annoys Mason to be styl'd so. "Bad enough at the Cape86, calling us both Astronomers,— Mason has complained, and more than once. "I'm being insulted coming and going, it's not fair."
"He's said to be of a Wear Valley Family... ? They told me to look him up...?"
At Dawn they are led to a remote cross-roads north of the City. Out of the cold Humidity rolls smoothly87 a Coach of peculiar35 Design. "But step aboard, Gents, and this Machine'11 have yese in Mount Vernon ere Phoebus lift 'is Nob again."
"Is it safe?" inquires Mason.
"Perfectly,— 'tis the Road that's perilous88!" Mr. Tallihoe shaking both their hands in fare-well.
"You're not coming along...?" Dixon collects.
"Not I. He'll not wish to see me. Lord's Mercy, no."
They ride all night, and neither sleeps. The Coach stops for nothing. Meals, each a distinct kind of "Sandwich," are pass'd to them down thro' a Hatch. The Remains, including Plates, are thrown out the Window, taken by the Wind. There are Newspapers and a Rack-ful of Books, and under the Driver's seat is a Cask of Philadelphia Porter, whose Tap extends within, for the use of the Passengers. When they must piss, they do so into glaz'd Jars, with Chinese Scenes upon them. By the time they consider pissing out the Coach Doors, so swiftly have they Travel'd, that they miss the Chance. The Driver is calling, "Potowmack just ahead, Gents!" He drops them off by the River, into the Slap and Scent89 of Win?ter upon the Wing, and points them uphill. Bearing nothing but what they may have stuff'd hastily into their Pockets, they begin the Ascent90 to Mount Vernon.
