Both the travelers were taken up into Mrs. Blyth's room to say Farewell. It was a sad parting. Zack's spirits had not been so good as usual, since the day of his visit to the Agent's and the other persons assembled were all more or less affected in an unusual degree by the approaching separation.
Never, in all Zack's experience, had any former matches caught flame with such a shrill report, as was produced from the one disastrous match which he happened to select to light his candle with. The next thing to be done was to bolt the door.
If you warn't so far from the "Corner," we could fix our sugar together, an' make but one bilin' of it, for you'll want a team, an' you don't know nothin' about maples. Zack's eyes were askance upon Robert. 'We might 'most as well go shares you give the sap, an' I the labour, he added. 'I'll jest bring up the potash kettle on the sled a Monday, an' we'll spill the trees.
His friend did not interrupt him by a word, except at the moment when he sat down; and then Mat said, simply and carelessly enough, that he thought he should detect the original Mrs. Peckover directly by Zack's imitation, if ever he met with her in the streets.

"She's gone down considerable the last four-five days. Out of the banks last week an' runnin' all over creation." "Still pretty high," remarked the other.
