"I've been a sheep-farmer, stock-breeder, other trades besides, away in the new world," said he; "many a thousand mile of stormy water off from this." "I hope you have done well?" "I've done wonderfully well. There's others went out alonger me as has done well too, but no man has done nigh as well as me. I'm famous for it." "I am glad to hear it." "I hope to hear you say so, my dear boy."
Alonger the rats and mice and the beadles," she added, as an after-thought. "The beadles!" repeated Ruth doubtfully. "What beadles?" "Why, the black beadles, to be sure," replied Nurse cheerfully. Ruth was silent. It seemed dismal company for the kitchen cat. Then she said: "Are there many of them?" "Swarms!" said Nurse, breaking off her thread with a snap. "The kitchen's black with 'em at night."
Not to lose a moment of the time." "Thank'ee dear boy, thank'ee. God bless you! You've never deserted me, dear boy." I pressed his hand in silence, for I could not forget that I had once meant to desert him. "And what's the best of all," he said, "you've been more comfortable alonger me, since I was under a dark cloud, than when the sun shone. That's best of all."

"I got to stick it," said Dickie sadly. "I'd best be getting home." "I wouldn't go 'ome, not if I was you," said the man. "I'd go out and see the world a bit, I would." "What me?" said Dickie.

"Now lookee here!" said the man. "Where's your mother?" "There, sir!" said I. He started, made a short run, and stopped and looked over his shoulder. "There, sir!" I timidly explained. "Also Georgiana. That's my mother." "Oh!" said he, coming back. "And is that your father alonger your mother?" "Yes, sir," said I; "him too; late of this parish." "Ha!" he muttered then, considering.
Meanwhile Nurse went on in a coaxing tone: "If so be as you make haste and get well, you're to go alonger me and stay with your Aunt Clarkson in the country. There now!" Ruth received the news calmly. It did not seem a very pleasant prospect, or even a very real one to her.

"There, there," she said, "it's natural to take on, but you'll be better soon, when you get down to the farm alonger Agnetta. You must think of all you've got to be thankful for. And now I should relish a cup o' tea, for I started away early; so we'll go down and you'll get it for me, I dessay. I brought a little in my pocket in case you should be out of it.
You mightn't think it, but I haive. UNCOMMERCIAL. And a pleasant country too. WILTSHIRE. Ah! 'Tis a pleasant country. UNCOMMERCIAL. Have you any family on board? WILTSHIRE. Two children, boy and gal. I am a widderer, I am, and I'm going out alonger my boy and gal. I'll go and fetch my boy. I'd like to show you my boy.
