"You wouldn't?" asked the Squire, rather weakly. "No, I don't think I would. You see, my dear Edward, some of us are inclined to take life too easily. I'm sometimes afraid that I do myself." "You do your duty, Tom. Nobody is asked to do more than that." "Well, you may be right, but I am not sure.

I'll get the plate and turn it over to you to-morrow, only only it's got to be destroyed in my presence." "Yes, yes!" she cried, trying to smile through her tears and then she flung her arms around her son's neck again.
