The girl was counselled by the tremor of her instincts to forbear to speak of the minor circumstance, that her mistress had, besides a good stick, a good companion on the road to Croridge: and she rejoiced to think her mistress had him, because it seemed an intimation of justice returning upon earth.

As she turned to leave him, with a strict injunction to do it well, he raised his hat from his head and turned reverently towards her. "I'll do it as well as mortal hands can do it ma'am" he said with a tremor in his hoarse husky voice.

Rare indeed was it to catch Judith indulging in a moment's idleness. She appeared to be holding soliloquy with herself. "It's the most incomprehensible thing in the world! I have heard of ghosts and, talking about ghosts, that child was in a tremor, last night, again I'm sure he was. Brave little heart! he goes up to bed in the dark on purpose to break himself of the fear.
Fancy our mother's son, Laura, trading on such a treason!" "I can't fancy it, dear Arthur," said Laura; seizing Arthur's hand, and kissing it.

"No. Our boy can't meddle with such a wretched intrigue as that.
The old man and the girl still sat together in the window-seat, silent now like the others. They had had their explanations in the boat, and each knew what was in the other's heart. Chris and Nicholas stood by the hearth, Mr. Morris by the door; and there was not the tremor of a doubt in any of them as to what the future held.
