And often have I stood and leaned over the gate and watched them, till I felt a'most as fond of them as of my own children; and never would leg have crossed her while she was in my possession had that not happened that may happen to any man, when he least expects it. "My wife had been ill, very ill. My poor Lizzy, I thought I should ha' certainly lost her.
