'If you had not a'ready married me, you'd cut my acquaintance! That's a pretty thing for a wife to say! The remark struck his ear unpleasantly, and by-and-by he went back again. Avice's cottage was now lighted: she must have come round by the other road. Satisfied that she was safely domiciled for the night he opened the gate of Sylvania Castle and retired to his room also.
Next thing she'll be playin' round with some of the country boys here, and mebbe take one that Amanda would liked to get. There's no trustin' such gay dressers. I found that out long a'ready." "Ach," said Millie, "I guess Amanda don't like none of the boys round here in Crow Hill." "How do you know? Guess Amanda ain't no different from the rest of us in petticoats.
But, there, Glory Beck, you quit thinkin' 'bout eatin' 'less first you know, you'll be hungry an' your stummick'll get that horrid feel again. Hi, I b'lieve it's comin' a'ready an' yet I had that splendid breakfast!" Somehow, the idea of food occurred to this trio of travelers at one and the same time.
"Well, I guess I know he ain't a lady. I guess I know what his sek is!" Tillie sighed in despair, and sank back on the settee. For a few minutes they sat in strained silence. "I never seen a girl like what you are! You're wonderful different to the other girls I've knew a'ready." Tillie did not reply. "Where d'you come by them books you read?" "The Doc gets them for me."

"It don't seem but little ways to Baxter, does it?" said Miss Pickett, after a while. "I felt we should pass a good deal o' time on the road, but we must be pretty near half-way there a'ready." "Why, more'n half!" exclaimed Mrs. Flagg. "Yes; there's Beckett's Corner right ahead, an the old Beckett house. I haven't been on this part of the road for so long that I feel kind of strange.
It beats me what them two could have to talk about so much in earnest that they wouldn't hear the automobile. But perhaps Lyman wanted to make up with Martin for all the mean tricks he done to him a'ready. Anyhow, we're glad it ain't worse. He's got a cut on the head and is pretty much bruised. He'll be stiff for a while but there ain't no bones broke." "I'm so glad it isn't worse."
"Your spirits sought two ways at once, Master Droop, and like any other half-minded equivocal transaction, contention was the outcome. But for the whiskey, mind you why, it hath won old Sir Percevall's heart. Zounds, man! Scarce two fingers of it, and yet I feel the wanton laugh in me a'ready. Good fellows need good company, my master! So pour me his fellow! So so!"

"Wid dat he wheel round, zif he was afraid to trust hisself to say more, an' went off at full gallop." "An' what did Miss Manuela say?" asked Susan.
"If you don't help your neighbour, your neighbour don't help you," she said sententiously. Creed fixed his iron-rimmed gaze on her in silence.
