"Seemed like it frightened 'im a bit. 'We mustn't be too bold, Miss Montaubyn, my dear, 'e ses, for 'e's a kind young man as ever lived, an' often ses 'my dear' to them 'e's comfortin'. But yer see the lidy 'ad gave me a Bible o' me own an' I'd set 'ere an' read it, an' read it an' learned verses to say to meself when I was in bed an' I'd got ter feel like it was someone talkin' to me an' makin' me understand.
He'd take the dollar, get it changed, and be two-bits ahead, every time. But I got to drift along.

Two pages of this letter is nothin' but cold in the head and t'other two is about a new hat she's goin' to have and she don't know whether to trim it with roses or forget-me-nots.

It's right comfortin' to think o' that low-down trash a-festerin' in the bottom o' the gulch." Then Martin, the gentlest of creatures, went pattering up to bed in his stocking feet, muttering cheerfully to himself as he mounted the dark stairs, candle in outstretched hand: "A festerin' eternally at the bottom!" After his father departed Sandy sat by his fire alone and waited.

He's got to keep about, too, if he don't want to go clear crazy. One thing, he don't have to stand any comfortin'. I guess men don't say such things to each other as women do, big fools as they be!"
