Though perhaps I should have been a very good Christian if you pretty women hadn't made me an idolater." Bathsheba moved on to hide the irrepressible dimp- lings of merriment. Troy followed, whirling his crop. "But Miss Everdene you do forgive me?" "Hardly. " "Why?" "You say such things." "I said you were beautiful, and I'll say so still; for, by so you are!
Hear me, I wish I knew what o'clock it is I am going I have wasted too much time here already!" The sergeant looked at his watch and told her. "What, haven't you a watch, miss?" he inquired. "I have not just at present I am about to get a new one." "No. You shall be given one. Yes you shall. A gift, Miss Everdene a gift."
Yet, I don't know if I will! O, why did you come and disturb me so!" "Perhaps in setting a gin, I have caught myself. Such things have happened. Well, will you let me work in your fields?" he coaxed. "Yes, I suppose so; if it is any pleasure to you." "Miss Everdene, I thank you. "No, no." "Good-bye!"
The sergeant retreated to avoid receiving back his gift, which she held out persistently towards him. Bathsheba followed as he retired. "Keep it do, Miss Everdene keep it!" said the erratic child of impulse. "The fact of your possessing it makes it worth ten times as much to me.
As to shepherd, there, I'm sure mis'ess ought to have made ye her baily such a fitting man for't as you be." "I don't mind owning that I expected it." said Oak, frankly."

"But you can't really care for a word from me? you only say so I think you only say so." "that's unjust but I won't repeat the remark. I am too gratified to get such a mark of your friendship at any price to cavil at the tone. I do Miss Everdene, care for it. You may think a man foolish to want a mere word just a good morning. Perhaps he is I don't know.
You are too dignified for me to suit you, sir." "But, Miss Everdene!" "I I didn't I know I ought never to have dreamt of sending that valentine forgive me, sir it was a wanton thing which no woman with any self-respect should have done. If you will only pardon my thoughtlessness, I promise never to " "No, no, no. Don't say thoughtlessness!
"Well, it doesn't seem quite true to me that I am fascinating." she replied evasively. "Not so to you: then I say with all respect that, if so, it is owing to your modesty, Miss Everdene. But surely you must have been told by everybody of what everybody notices? and you should take their words for it." "They don't say so exactly." "O yes, they must!"
God didn't provide 'em with victuals as well as drink, and 'twas a drawback I couldn't get over at all."
