"Oh, don't send me away, don't send me away!" she cried as soon as he entered. He saw that Cornelli was trembling all over from fear and excitement. "I cannot endure this," he said to himself, and seizing his hat ran out of the house. Martha was sitting in her peaceful little chamber, busy with her mending and thinking about Cornelli.
My father, I know, walked up from Wales, mending boots on his road for a livelihood. He is not a bad scholar, he knows Greek enough to like it. He is a Dissenting preacher. When I strike a truism, I 've a habit of scoring it to give him a peg or tuning-fork for one of his discourses. He's a man of talent; he taught himself, and he taught me more than I learnt at school.

On a sudden, however, the proverb of mending old garments with new cloth occurred to me. 'I am afraid, said I, 'any new adventures which I can invent will not fadge well with the old tale; one will but spoil the other. I had better have nothing to do with Colonel B , thought I, but boldly and independently sit down and write the life of Joseph Sell.
Had I steered the straight course of my impulse I need never have deceived that dear gentleman whom I loved and honoured above any in this world, and with whom I had always lived and dealt openly. After my grandfather was pronounced to be mending, I went back to Mr. Allen until such time as we should be able to go to the country.
