Beckett would have been more impressed, had she ever ceased to think of Master Jemmy otherwise than as a self-willed but candid boy; and she answered as if he had been throwing himself on her mercy after breaking a window, or knocking down Lord Fitzjocelyn 'Well, sir, that is all you can say. I'm glad you are sorry. I'll see if I can mention, it to your uncle.
I dare say my honest vexation and good faith were pretty legibly written in my countenance; for the look of gloomy embarrassment which had for a moment settled on the face of the Marquis, brightened; he smiled, kindly, and extended his hand. "I have not the least doubt that Monsieur Beckett will respect my little secret.
"Give your imagination wings." "You are always teasing me to guess things I don't care to guess!" "Here comes Dierdre back with Mrs. Beckett so I won't worry you to guess. I've got a message from the Wandering Jew. Do you want it, or don't you?"
"They get along, somehow or 'nother," replied Mrs. Bonny; "they've got the best farm this side of the ledge, but they're dreadful lazy and shiftless, them young folks. Old Mis' Hate-evil Beckett was tellin' me the other day she that was Samanthy Barnes, you know that one of the boys got fighting, the other side of the mountain, and come home with his nose broke and a piece o' one ear bit off.
"A very generous idea of yours!" I cried, the blood so hot in my cheeks that it forced tears to my eyes. "It had occurred to me, too, that for their sakes we might manage that way.
