You know that as well as I do. I reckon you won't want to talk much to the fellows about it. I don't blame you for not wanting to, Ham. But what I was going to say was this: if you don't say anything about it, I shall not." "I don't know what I shall do," replied he, doggedly. "I don't, either; but, between you and me, Ham, I don't think you feel much like bragging over it.
I know you love the wench; but if you'll take an old man's word, you're worth a score of her. I wish young men would think so too, he muttered as he went to the side-table to carve the ham, while Molly poured out the tea her heart very hot all the time, and effectually silenced for a space. It was with the greatest difficulty that she could keep tears of mortification from falling.
She dismounted and spread out her luncheon upon the paper in which it had been wrapped, kneeling down on a grassy plot near the creek. Mr. Dart hovered over her in frank eagerness, giving vent to various chuckling sounds bespeaking deep satisfaction as he saw that there was cold chicken and ham, cheese and buttered bread. Then they ate, Wanda sparingly, pretending to have little appetite, Mr.
He said, almost in the same words as formerly, that Ham was just the same, 'wearing away his life with kiender no care nohow for 't; but never murmuring, and liked by all'.

"I suspect that it was not quite convenient," she said.
It is also reassuring to find that such a certificate is an absolute answer to the charge of Atheism, No doubt Mr. Keir Hardie will print the testimonial as a postscript to his next election address at West Ham. Mr. Keir Hardie calls himself a Christian. He does not say, however, if he believes in the supernatural part of the Gospels. Does he accept the New Testament miracles?
"Well, you can't blame it on me," retorted Carl Dudder. "Maybe it was Ham Spink's plan," suggested Whopper. "It was." "And what did you do?" "Hid your stuff on you," said Dick Bush, in a low tone. "Anything else?" "Well, we -er -we took a little meat and had some dinner while we were over there."
