Martin Grimbal approached his brother and laid his hand upon the fisherman's arm. He stood the smaller in stature, though of strong build.
Miss Anthea's brave enough, but I reckon 'twill come nigh breakin' 'er 'eart to see the old stuff sold, the furnitur' an' that, so she's goin' to drive over to Cranbrook to be out o' the way while it's a-doin'." "And when does the sale take place?" "The Saturday arter next, sir, as ever was," Adam answered.
"Well, if she drove straight back from Cranbrook she would be here now, but I fancy she won't be so very anxious to get home to-day, and may come the longest way round; yes, it's in my mind she will keep away from Dapplemere as long as ever she can."

Theer's one on 'em, back theer on the Cranbrook road, looks like an oak-tree in the daytime ah, an' a big 'un it's nearly 'ad me three times a'ready once by the leg, once by the arm, and once by the neck. I don't pass it arter dark no more, but it'll 'ave me yet mark my words it'll 'ave me one o' these fine nights; and they'll find me a-danglin' in the gray o' the dawn!"
