The pods split under their fingers, click, cluck; the peas fell into the bowl like shot at first, dull as the bowl grew full. Click, cluck, click, cluck . . . Anna began to dream again. "Oh, do wake up," said her mother; "one would think . . ." Anna's hands went startled into the peas. "I must be in love," she said with half a smile. Mrs. Barly sighed. "Ak," she said. Anna began to laugh.
Tomkins, "that the minister isn't here to listen to you. Come along now; I've plenty still to do before supper. The widow Wicket's gate is down. But I've promised to set a fence for Farmer Barly first." "You need help, William," remarked Mr. Jeminy thoughtfully; "you need help. I must see what I can do." And he went home, down the hill, after Mr. Tomkins.
Barly with equal satisfaction. It seemed to her that she had done her duty as she saw it. But when Noel was killed in France a year later, she felt that Mrs. Wicket had killed him. "Now," she croaked to Mrs. Crabbe, "I hope she's satisfied." She seemed to be; she took the news of Noel's death with curious calm.
Frye, with a shake of his head. Mr. Barly, although stupid, liked to be direct. "I was brought up on plus and minus," he said, "and I've yet to meet the man who can get the better of me. Now what do you think of that, Mr. Frye?" Mr. Frye looked up, down, and around; then he began to polish his spectacles. But he only said, "There's some good in that." "There is indeed," said Mr.
But you, happy song birds, will build your nests far away, in green and windy trees, and your quarrels will fill distant valleys with music." When Mr. Jeminy was nearly home he looked behind him and saw Thomas Frye and Anna Barly returning from the fair. He drew aside to let them pass, and with the sun shining in his eyes, he thought to himself, "Only the young are happy to-day."
After a while she asked, "Do you think I'm in love?" "Like as not," said her mother. "Well, then," Anna cried, "I'm not in love at all not now." Mrs. Barly let her fingers rest idly along the rim of the bowl. "When I was a girl . . ." she began. Then it was Anna's turn to sigh. "It seems like yesterday," remarked Mrs. Barly, who wanted to say, "I am still a young woman."
Barly, like my father before me." He smote his fist into his open palm. "I'll vote the Democrats blue in the face. If a man can't vote for his own advantage, what's the ballot for? I say let's mind our own business. And let me get my hands on what I want." "Get what you can," said Mr. Barly. "And the devil take the hindmost." "It's all the same to me," quoth Mr.
As he was speaking, Anna Barly entered the store, on her way home. Thomas Frye, who was behind the counter, came forward to meet her. When she saw him, her cheeks, which were pale, grew red. "He can see I was crying," she thought. "Well, I don't care. I hate him. What did I stop for?" She remembered that her mother had wanted a spool of white cotton. "Number eleven," she said.
As she ran she kept saying to herself, over and over, "I won't be like that, I won't, I won't." It seemed to her as though she were running away from Hillsboro itself, running away from Mrs. Wicket, from her mother, from Thomas Frye, from Anna Barly, from everything she wouldn't be. . . . "I won't," she cried, "I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't." "Never." Mr.
Then she tooke a great quantity of wheat, of barly, poppy seede, peason, lintles, and beanes, and mingled them altogether on a heape saying: Thou evil favoured girle, thou seemest unable to get the grace of thy lover, by no other meanes, but only by diligent and painefull service, wherefore I will prove what thou canst doe: see that thou separate all these graines one from another, disposing them orderly in their quantity, and let it be done before night.
