During the day Hiram Meeker

During the day Hiram Meeker

During the day, Hiram Meeker had intelligence of his son's flight. He received it with great outward composure, and with sensible inward relief. The discovery of the fraud which Augustus had committed had also been borne with entire equanimity. The fact is, Hiram, having thought best to conclude that his son was irreclaimable, searched the Scriptures to find the various eminent examples of disobedient, ungrateful, and wicked children; and he seemed to cherish with unction the idea of being numbered among the godly parents of a reprobate child. His own position was so strong, so far above that of any ordinary man of wealth, that the circumstance of a dissolute son's raising a few thousand dollars by forging his name (after all, it was only a few thousand) could only produce an expression of sympathy for the honored father. What to do with Augustus-that was the question which troubled him through the night; and the morning brought an agreeable solution of it.
