She waited a moment, looking him straight and quite dispassionately in the face; then she said coldly: "Very well! I will go." "When?" he asked. "This evening." "Just as you wish.
We had heard that "All things" quotation, until the first two words were as much as mother ever needed repeat of it any more, and we had cooked, washed for, and waited on people travelling, until Leon got so when he saw any one coming of course we knew all the neighbours, and their horses and wagons and carriages he always said: "Here comes another 'Even So!"
