It's not so very bad to bear after all; and, bad as my master is, there's one comfort, he lets me have my Saturday nights and blessed Sundays with you. Well, I feel happier now, and I think I can eat my supper. We forgot that my porridge was getting cold all this time." Stephen kept his word; day after day, and month after month, his patience and industry never flagged.
It comes on a Saturday; that ain't nigh so bad as bein' in the middle of the week." Nobody made any answer, and presently he went on, "There was a time along back when folks was too nigh the war-time to give much thought to the bigness of it. The best fellows was them that had stayed to home an' worked their trades an' laid up money; but I don't know's it's so now."

"My healing took place on Wednesday; on Saturday was persuaded to lie down, which I did, but found the bed was no place for me; thought of Peter's wife's mother, who 'arose and ministered to them; knew that to her, strength, as well as health, was instantly given, as in the case of the palsied man, who rose, took up his bed, and departed.
"Don't forget you're coming to us on Saturday; and we dine together to-night as usual." "As usual."
