The balm of its peace comforted him, and brought ease and calmed the rebellion in his blood. He was happy, forgetting that there ever had existed a schoolmaster, or anything else unpleasant. Here he was free, and no one ever misunderstood him. He gave pain to no one, and nothing ever hurt him here.
"Will you have a drop of small beer, Mr Furness?" "Yes, if you please, and so will Mr Byres, too. What a pity it is your good man will not keep to small beer."
