It was not without reason he had been unwilling to come home this time; he knew well enough that his mother had been in prison for child-murder; he had never heard a word about it there in the town, but at home in the village every one would remember. And it was not for nothing he had been living with companions of another sort. He had grown to be more sensitive and finer feeling than ever before.
Her account is not complete when she says, "Here are they whom thou hast given me." She must first say, "Here am I." But when it is seen that suicide is also child-murder, it must appear that she is under doubly heavy bonds for herself. Husbands, moreover, have claims, though wives often ignore them.
"I have frightened myself," she said, "and no wonder with such a noise." A servant came, who made everything right. Then Lance continued, "You interrupted me, Frances.

"Ye're mistaen though, gudewife," said Saddletree scornfully, "for I could hae gien her great satisfaction; I could hae proved to her that her sister was indicted upon the statute saxteen hundred and ninety, chapter one For the mair ready prevention of child-murder for concealing her pregnancy, and giving no account of the child which she had borne."
