I think I sees a little into it, but it is not for me to speak if the mayster wants to keep things secret. It'll all turn out right in the end, you may be sure. The old mayster's been getting a bit of a shake of late, but it is a shake of the right sort. He's been coming out of some of his odd ways and giving his mind to better things.
I don't wish to vex you, Mayster Frank, but that's just the honest truth." "Quite right, Jacob, quite right," said his master, laughing; "you don't vex me at all. I should do just the same, if I were in your place.
"Well, Jacob, you've brought me good news, as you've come back safe, and a rich man; and, indeed, if you'd only brought yourself it would have been good news to me. But I am not quite so sure that you'll think my news good news, when you hear what I have to tell you." A cloud gathered on Jacob's face, as he said tremblingly, "Eh, surely, mayster, you you you've not been "
"No, mayster, it's not the boggarts; it's my own heart as has kept me away." "What, Jacob! you've fallen in love with some fair maiden is that it?" "No, Mr Frank; I haven't fallen in love with any young wench, and there's some of the other sex as I'm still less like to fall in love with." "Oh, you mean my friend Juniper here!
"Why, Mayster Tankardew," said the farmer, "it isn't for the likes of me to be giving my opinion of things afore you and these ladies; but I has my opinion, nevertheless." "Of course you have. Now, tell us what you think about the young people of our day, and their self-indulgent habits." "Ah! Mayster!
But I'm grieved to the heart to see him winding hisself round Mayster Frank, who's so kind and so warm-hearted and so free. I cannot forget how he risked his life to save mine when we was coming out, as you know, captain; and I'd give my own life for him now, if I could only get him clear of yon cunning rascal as is leading him blindfold to hell."
I'm more used to roughing it nor you. I'll see to poor Mayster Frank. I can't forget what he's done for me; and maybe, if God spares him, and that rascal Juniper Graves keeps out of the road, he'll do well yet." This plan commended itself to Mr Oliphant and his nephew, and it was resolved that Jacob should go at once.
But it don't matter for a week or so, for they're not looking for me. I'll see you settled first properly, Mayster Frank, if you mean to settle here for a bit, and then I'll just take a run over yonder for a few days, and come back to you again, and what I do afterwards'll depend on how I find things yonder." And thus it was finally settled.
But, dear heart, it was all well enough for a day or two; but after a bit the young gentleman got weary of it. So they took to passing a good deal of their time in drinking and playing cards, I'm afraid. I hope, young man, you're not given to anything of the sort?" "Me!" exclaimed Jacob; "no, ma'am; that's not in my line, I can assure you. It's the drink as parted my poor mayster and me afore.
