Shocked and pained by Jerrem's altered tone, Eve sought refuge in Joan's broader experience by begging that she would counsel her as to the best way of putting a stop to this ungenerous conduct. "Awh, my dear," cried Joan, "unless you'm wantin' to see murder in the house you mustn't braithe no word of it.
"Oh, I'm so glad!" said Eve, breaking out into a snatch of an old song which had caught her fancy. "Awh, my dear, don't 'ee begin to sing, not till breakfast is over," exclaimed Joan. "'Sing afore you bite, cry afore night." "Cry with joy perhaps," laughed Eve; still, she hushed her melody and hastened her speed to get quickly dressed and her breakfast over.
"Awh, give the ould sowl a pinny now," said a sympathetic voice, "'t will bring you luck, more power to you." And Mike Bogan, the tears streaming down his honest cheeks, plunged deep into his pocket and threw the old beggar a broad five-shilling piece. It was a monstrous fortune to Peggy.
"Awh, well, if you knaws, you don't want to be told, then," snorted Mrs. Tucker, ill pleased at having her demands upon sympathy put to such sudden flight. "Though don't you think, Eve, that Adam hasn't got somethin' else to think of than sendin' love-messages and nonsense o' that sort? He's a good deal too much took up 'bout the trouble we'm all in for that.
"Awh, Reuben, my dear," sighed Joan one evening as, Eve having gone to see Adam, the two walked out toward the little spot where Jerrem lay, and as they went discussed Joan's near departure, "I wish to goodness you'd pack up yer alls and come 'longs to Polperro home with me: 't 'ud be ever so much better than stayin' to this gashly London, where there ain't a blow o' air that's fresh to draw your breath in."
"Awh, and there's they to Polperro mother amongst 'em, too who'll tell 'ee now that if Eve had never shawed her face inside the place Adam 'ud ha' had me, after all. But there! all that's past and gone long ago." There was another pause, which Reuben broke by saying suddenly, "Joan, should you take it very out of place if I was to ask you whether after a bit you could marry me?
"Jonathan gave a hint o' somethin'," continued Joan, "though he never named no time, which, if he was trusted with, he knaws better than to tell of." "I wonder they do trust him, though," said Eve, "seeing he's rather silly?" "Awh! most o' his silly is to serve his own turn.
She was brought up so differently!" he continued, addressing Triggs. "A more respectable woman never lived than her mother was." "Awh! so the Pascals all be: there's none of 'em but what's respectable and well-to-do. What I've bin tellin' of 'ee is their ways, you knaw: 'tain't nothing agen 'em." "It's quite decided me to go down and see her, though," said Reuben.
"Awh, so far as that goes, the both of us is takin' what's another's orts, you knaw," smiled Joan. "Then is it agreed?" asked Reuben, stretching out his hand. "Iss, so far as I goes 'tis, with all my heart."
But there!" she added starting up, "us'll make sure to wance and knaw whether 'tis lies or truth we'm tellin'. Here, Sammy, off ever so quick as legs can carry 'ee, and climber up and fetch Adam back with 'ee." Sammy started off, and Joan proceeded to communicate the cause of her uneasiness. "Awh, my dear, is that all?" exclaimed Mrs.
