When Draxy first told Hannah that Ike was to come and live with them, she said judiciously, "It will make your work much easier in many ways, Hannah." Hannah answered: "Yes, missus. He'll bring all the water I spose, an that alone's wuth any man's keep not that I've ever found any fault with the well's bein' so far off. It's 's good water's there is in the world, but it's powerful heavy."
And now I will ask you a question in return. Have you money for your lodging?" "Yes, sir," she says, "really and truly." And she shows it. He tells her, in acknowledgment of her many subdued thanks, that she is very welcome, gives her good day, and walks away. Tom-all- Alone's is still asleep, and nothing is astir. Yes, something is!
The idea flitted across my mind vaguely "Why not send her for a year or two to be polished up at Paris or somewhere, and really marry her afterwards for good and always?" But on second thoughts, it won't hold water. She's magnificent, she's undeniable, she's admirable, but she isn't possible. The name alone's enough to condemn her.

He paused for half a second; but if the analogy meant anything to his companion she did not choose that he should know. "And then?" she said.

"Traveling alone's awful stupid, ain't it? I reckon you were glad when the busted heating apparatus in the sleeper gave you a chance to come in here and size up a few new faces. Sure you can listen! Though, bless your heart, we weren't talking about anything so very specially interesting," he explained conscientiously.
A man alone's a man lost. We got to stick together, Boy." The eyelids fell heavily. "Yes, yes, Colonel." He pressed the big hand. His mouth made the motion, not the sound, "Good-bye, pardner." "Despair lies down and grovels, grapples not With evil, casts the burden of its lot. This Age climbs earth. To challenge heaven. Not less The lower deeps. It laughs at Happiness." George Meredith
The even pace, the quiet of the night, the drowsy sounds of unseen stream and far-off murmuring sea overcame him in spite of himself, and he dozed in the saddle. As he reached the hilltop the level step of the horse awoke him, and he knew that he was passing that desolate spot on the border of parish and parish which is known as Tom Alone's.
Your return alone's enough to keep us from laughter." "All right," the old man stumbled on. "I was raised on stories of that room even before my father shot himself there. Later on I saw Katherine's father die in the big bed, and after that I never cared to go near the place unless I had to.
