Robson saw some reason for changing her mind on this head as she watched Sylvia this night, for she accompanied Philip to the door, when the time came for him to start homewards, and bade him 'good-night' with unusual fervour, adding 'Thou'st been a deal o' comfort to me, lad a'most as one as if thou wert a child o' my own, as at times I could welly think thou art to be.
How should he guess what a piece of work it is to get 'em all of a color, and how like they are to come mottled, and how a'most sure they'll ten to one go off dark just as they're growing yellow, and put you to shame, let you do what you will to make 'em cut a shine over the country? How should he know? I don't complain of that; bless you, he never thinks.

I ask yo'r pardon for speaking cross, but, indeed, my heart's a'most broken wi' fear about feyther. The voice was so plaintive, so full of tears, that Hester could not but yearn towards the speaker.

Yesterday, the old cook, as has been in your kitchen twenty years, got her discharge. To-morrow, for anything that old feller knows, Ben Benson may git his mitimus, and when he asks to see the lady as he's sarved heart and soul since he was a boy a'most, they'll tell him as they did the cook that this ere lady is sick, and can't be troubled with such matters."
