Among the notable mothers, Dolly Winthrop was the one whose neighbourly offices were the most acceptable to Marner, for they were rendered without any show of bustling instruction. Silas had shown her the half-guinea given to him by Godfrey, and had asked her what he should do about getting some clothes for the child.

We are friendly women who really want to be neighbourly and helpful." "You all tote a cross!" Becky was interested. "Yes. We bear the cross it is a symbol of what we try to do you need not be afraid of us, and if there is ever a time when you need us come to Ridge House."

Non-co-operation as a voluntary movement can only succeed, if the feeling is genuine and strong enough to make people suffer to the utmost. If the religious sentiment of the Mahomedans is deeply hurt and if the Hindus entertain neighbourly regard towards their Muslim brethren, they will both count no cost too great for achieving the end.

And they were. Not only had he left the gate unlocked, but he had done so purposely. The movement he had made with his foot had been done for the purpose of pushing into place a small pebble, which, as all could see, lay where it would best prevent the gate from closing. What could such treachery mean, and what was her neighbourly duty under circumstances so unparalleled?

"Well, sir; suppose you dine with us to-day?" Mr. Pole bounced out. "Neighbours should be neighbourly." This abrupt invitation was decorously accepted. "Plain dinner, you know.

"I live just across the hills from you, and I had a notion that we ought to be neighbourly seeing that we belong to the same society." "You must be mistaken," he said. "I'm not a Mason!" "No more am I," I said. "Nor an Oddfellow." "Nor I."

"I wish I lived down South, Jim!" "Why?" "I don't know, it's just an idea of mine. I suppose I get it from hearing you tell about their old-fashioned ways, their neighbourly habits and the sweet home life." The man was silent. The deep soft note of a mallard drake far above the treetops caused him to look up. He seized Harriet's arm.

When I am sober I know how to do great things, but I can't do them. After a few glasses I never take more I not only know I can do great things, but I feel as though I were really doing them." "But you never do?" "No, I never do, but I feel that I can. All the bonds break and the wall falls down and I am free. I can really touch people. I feel friendly and neighbourly."

His meditations were put to an end by the continuous arrival of all the villagers coming to church; by twos and threes, and then by half dozens and dozens, they filed in through the churchyard, exchanging brief neighbourly greetings with one another as they passed quietly into the sacred edifice, where the soft strains of the organ now began to mingle with the outside chiming of the bells.
