"You knaw me a man with a level head, as leaps after looking, not afore. I put nothing but plain reason to him and he flouted me like you might a cheel. An' I be gwaine to make him eat his words such hard words as they was tu! Think of it! Me an' Phoebe never to meet no more! The folly of sayin' such a thing!
"I did think so wance; I did tell her so when us walked not two hour agone. Now I sees differ'nt. She'm none o' mine. She'm no Tregenza. Be Nature, as made us God-fearin' to a man, to a wummon, to a cheel, gwaine to lie after generations 'pon generations? Look back at them as bred me, an' them as bred them back, an' back, an' back.
Now, what wi' the cheel that's comin', I caan't carry this any more." Being already lachrymose, after the manner of women at a wedding, Phoebe now shed a tear or two. Will thereupon spoke words of comfort, and blamed her for hiding any matter from him. "More trouble?" he said. "Yet I doan't think it, not now, just as I be right every way. I guess 't is your state makes you queer an' glumpy."
You doan't ax me after the fust cheel Phoebe had." "I knaw. I put some violets theer that very night. We were camped just above Chagford, not far from here." "Theer's a li'l gal now, an' a bwoy as I'll tell'e about bimebye. A sheer miracle't was that falled out the identical day I buried my Willy. No natural fashion of words can explain it. But that'll keep. Now let me look at'e.
But by good chance, when Tregagle comed to en, the man weer carryin' a lil baaby in's arms a lil cheel as had never done a single wicked act, bein' tu young; so Tregagle couldn' do no hurt. An' they caught en again, an' passon set en 'pon another job: to make a truss o' sand in Whitsand Bay wi'out usin' any fresh water.
"Weary an' sick, an' filled with gall. Was it wrong to make the match, do 'e think, seein' 't was all for love of my cheel? Was I out to push so strong for it? I seem I done right, despite this awful mischance." "An' so you did; an' my feelin's be the same as yours to a split hair, though I've got no language for em at this unnatural hour of marnin'," said Billy.
She sighed and bent her head and turned her eyes away from him, then spoke hurriedly: "I doan't knaw how to tell 'e, an' us reckoned theer weern't no call to, an' us weern't gwaine to tell; but these things be in the Lard's hand an' theer edn' no hidin' what He means to let out. A sorry, cruel home-comin' for 'e, Joe. Poor lass, her's done wi' all her troubles now, an' the unborn cheel tu.
Karl could also have informed them that the deodar and the cheel are not, the only pines indigenous to the Himalayas.
So the party tramped on and ugly Sally looked after them with dim eyes; but Mrs. Tregenza's thin voice dried them. "A bad come-along o't for a gal to walk 'pon sich a day. They did ought to a got her a lift to her weddin', come what might." "Maybe 'tis all wan to them poor dears. A coach an' four 'orses wouldn' make that cheel no better pleased.
'Pears I ban't never to graw to love un as I would; an' yet I caan't quite help it when I sees his whole-hearted ferment to put money into my pocket; or when I hears him talk of nitrates an' the ways o' the world; or watches un playin' make-believe wi' the childer himself the biggest cheel as ever laughed at fulishness or wanted spankin' an' putting in the corner."
