Macey, in deep disgust at the farrier's crass incompetence to apprehend the conditions of ghostly phenomena." And supposing "ghos'es" do exist the moment the Supernatural is attested and classified it becomes as natural as anything else. Such spooks would add nothing to the dignity and sanctity of the scheme of creation, and are no friends to religion.
And it was a common saying as the father wanted to ride the tailor out o' the lad, and make a gentleman on him not but what I'm a tailor myself, but in respect as God made me such, I'm proud on it, for "Macey, tailor", 's been wrote up over our door since afore the Queen's heads went out on the shillings.
Macey, though he joined in the defence of Marner against all suspicions of deceit, also pooh-poohed the tinder-box; indeed, repudiated it as a rather impious suggestion, tending to imply that everything must be done by human hands, and that there was no power which could make away with the guineas without moving the bricks. Nevertheless, he turned round rather sharply on Mr.
But the partic'larest thing of all is, as nobody took any notice on it but me, and they answered straight off "yes", like as if it had been me saying "Amen" i' the right place, without listening to what went before." "But you knew what was going on well enough, didn't you, Mr. Macey? You were live enough, eh?" said the butcher. "Lor bless you!" said Mr.
I've laid by now, and gev up to the young uns. Ask them as have been to school at Tarley: they've learnt pernouncing; that's come up since my day." "If you're pointing at me, Mr. Macey," said the deputy clerk, with an air of anxious propriety, "I'm nowise a man to speak out of my place. As the psalm says "I know what's right, nor only so, But also practise what I know."
"Come, come," said the landlord, who felt that paying people for their absence was a principle dangerous to society; "a joke's a joke. We're all good friends here, I hope. We must give and take. You're both right and you're both wrong, as I say. I agree wi' Mr. Macey here, as there's two opinions; and if mine was asked, I should say they're both right.
Lammeter had a pretty fortin, didn't they say, when he come into these parts?" "Well, yes," said Mr. Macey; "but I daresay it's as much as this Mr. Lammeter's done to keep it whole. For there was allays a talk as nobody could get rich on the Warrens: though he holds it cheap, for it's what they call Charity Land."
"Now, you can put us down, if you will, sir,", suggested Dick, when they had reached the outer edge of the crowd. "Not yet," retorted Mr. Macey. "Why not, sir?" "You've a little trip to make with me yet." "Trip?" "Wait a moment, and you'll see." Less than two minutes later Mr. Macey drove his car up in front of one of the banks and jumped out. "Come on, boys," he cried.
Only you'd been into my house oftener than anybody else, and so you came into my head. I don't accuse you I won't accuse anybody only," he added, lifting up his hands to his head, and turning away with bewildered misery, "I try I try to think where my guineas can be." "Aye, aye, they're gone where it's hot enough to melt 'em, I doubt," said Mr. Macey. "Tchuh!" said the farrier.
After receiving such an answer as this, it is not surprising that Mr. Macey observed, later on in the evening at the Rainbow, that Marner's head was "all of a muddle", and that it was to be doubted if he ever knew when Sunday came round, which showed him a worse heathen than many a dog. Another of Silas's comforters, besides Mr. Macey, came to him with a mind highly charged on the same topic.
