"'So it can't so it can't, says the postmaster, apologetic, knowin' he was in politics an' that the brethren was watchin' him, cat to mouse, for slips. "'I s'pose that's so, says Eppleby, doubtful. But he's one o' them that sort o' ducks under situations to see if they're alike on both sides, an' if they ain't, he up an' questions 'em. Timothy, though, he was differ'nt.
But when I was near my time, Timothy, reckoning they'd yield then if ever, arranged to be in Chagford when I should be brought to bed. Yet 'twas ordained differ'nt, an' the roundy-poundy, wheer the caravan was drawed up when the moment corned, be just round theer on Metherill hill, as you knaws. So it happened right under the very walls of Newtake.
'Tis very hard this fallin' 'pon a virtuous member like what you be; but 'tedn' a straange tale 'tall. The man was like other men, I doubt; the maid was like other maids. You thot differ'nt. You was wrong; an' you'll be wrong again to break your heart now. Let en go 'tis best." "Let en go! Blast en I'll let heaven go fust! Us'll see what a wronged sawl's patience can do now.
"I'd have taken my oath he wouldn't essterday. Now I think differ'nt. He never meant friendship; he awnly wanted for me to smart. Clem Hicks was right." "Theer's Mr. Grimbal might give 'e work, I think. Go an' ax un, an' tell un I sent 'e." A moment later Chris was sorry she had made this remark. "What be talkin' 'bout?" Will asked bluntly. "Tell un you sent me?" "Martin wants to be friends."
"Nay, nay, my poor sawl; sit you down an' eat, Joe, an' take they wet boots off a while. Our hearts have bled for 'e this many days, Joe Noy, an' never more'n now." "I thank you, uncle; an' you, Mary Chirgwin will 'e say as much? 'Tis you I wants to speak with, 'cause you you seed Joan arter 'twas awver." "I wish you well, Joe Noy, an' if I ever done differ'nt 'tis past an' forgot.
"If I was bidin' in one of them stone roundy-poundies, with nothin' but a dog-kennel for a home, she ought to be shoulder to shoulder wi' me. Did you leave my faither cause other people didn't love un?" "That was differ'nt. Theer s Miller Lyddon. I could much wish you seed more of him an' let un come by a better 'pinion of 'e. 'T s awnly worldly wisdom, true; but "
But when Calliope come up to me she was just the same as she always was, an' I might 'a' known she would be. She isn't easy to understand she's differ'nt but when you once get to expectin' folks to be differ'nt, you can depend on 'em some that way, too.
An' I caan't bide in the streets, so I axes you to keep me till Mister Jan do come to fetch me. I find words hard to use to 'splain things, but his God's differ'nt to what the Luke Gosp'lers' is, an' I lay 'tis differ'nt to yourn. But his God's mine anyways, an' I'm not afeared o' what I done, nor 'shamed to look folks in the faace. That's how 'tis, Uncle Thomas.
Put on thy strength. Only it come out some differ'nt from me than it come from Isaiah. I didn't know quite what I was goin' to say, but just then I looked up Daphne Street, an' I see 'em all sprinkled along comin' from the funeral neighbours an' friends an' just folks an' most of 'em livin' in Friendship peaceful an' barrin' slopovers doin' the level best they could.
"She didn't say much of anything that other folks don't say, but somehow she meant the words farther in. In where the light was, an' words mean differ'nt an' better. I use' to think I didn't believe that what she saw or heard or read was exactly like what her mother an' Clementina an' most folks see an' hear an' read.
