Hight to know that nothing a sheep might do could vex a person who was used to the uncertainties and severities of her companionship. Mrs. Hight told her daughter at once that she had enjoyed a beautiful call, and got a great many new things to think of.
But the truth is, something they will make out of Stillingfleete's sermon, which may trouble us, he declaring, like a fool, in his pulpit, that he did confess that his losses in the world did make him do what he did.

I pressed it this whole night to my heart. They took it away to vex me, and now say I killed it, and I shall never be happy again. They sing songs upon me! It is wicked of the people. An old tale ends so who bids them apply it? Faust. A lover lies at thy feet, to unloose the bonds of wickedness.

'Oh, Miss Grey! she would say, 'you have some trouble with them childer! 'I have, indeed, Betty; and I daresay you know what it is. 'Ay, I do so! But I don't vex myself o'er 'em as you do. And then, you see, I hit 'em a slap sometimes: and them little 'uns I gives 'em a good whipping now and then: there's nothing else will do for 'em, as what they say. Howsoever, I've lost my place for it.
At times he appeared as deliberately brutal to her, as to the gypsy girl Ursula when he talked with her beneath the hedge.
