The speaker was a tall, pompous-looking man, whose age appeared to
verge close upon fifty. He was sitting bolt upright in a
high-backed chair, and looked as if it would be quite impossible to
deviate from his position of unbending rigidity. Squire Benjamin
Newcome, as he was called, in the right of his position as Justice
of the Peace, Chairman of the Selectmen, and wealthiest resident of
Wrenville, was a man of rule and measure. He was measured in his
walk, measured in his utterance, and measured in all his
transactions. He might be called a dignified machine. He had a very
exalted conception of his own position, and the respect which he
felt to be his due, not only from his own household, but from all
who approached him. If the President of the United States had
called upon him, Squire Newcome would very probably have felt that
he himself was the party who conferred distinction, and not
received it.
