'What was he like? how old? tell me. 'My lass, a've summut else to do wi' my eyes than go peering into men's faces i' t' dusk light. 'But yo' must have had light for t' judge about the watch. 'Eh! how sharp we are! A'd a candle close to my nose. But a didn't tak' it up for to gaze int' his face. That wouldn't be manners, to my thinking. Hester was silent. Then Darley's heart relented.

That might be. She tried to think that this was the most probable way of accounting for the watch. She could be certain as to the positive identity of the watch being in William Darley's possession. Again, it might be that Philip himself was near at hand was here in this very place starving, as too many were, for insufficiency of means to buy the high-priced food.
Only Bella must niver play with watches again. 'Niver no more! promised the little sobbing child. And that evening Hester took her watch down to old Darley's. This William Darley was the brother of the gardener at the rectory; the uncle to the sailor who had been shot by the press-gang years before, and to his bed-ridden sister.
"Well, as it turned out, Mary was not in the least to blame it was all her father's fault at least his and old Darley's." It was necessary to say something so I said: "I always regarded Darley as a troublesome old thing." "So he was, but then they always had a great affection for him, although he had so many eccentricities.
"What do you mean by that, Dummy?" cried Mark. "You didn't tell me that Darley's boy was coming to fight alongside o' you, Master Mark." "Then I tell you now, Dummy," said Mark haughtily. "We've joined together to crush the robbers; so hold your tongue." "Ay, he'd better," growled Dan. "Well, Master Mark, I don't quite like it; but if you say it's to be done, why, done it shall be."
"One couldn't do anything," he said roughly, "till that old business had been put straight." Ralph Darley's disposition led him to determine to say nothing about what had passed, but his lame legs forced him to confess how it was his ankles were so bad, and Sir Morton was furious. He was ready to declare war on a small scale against his neighbour, and carry fire and sword into his camp.
And who is she, and what? by what demon is she haunted, by what taint is she blighted, by what curse is she followed, by what destiny is she marked, that her strange beauty has such a terror in it, and that hardly one shall dare to love her, and her eye glitters always, but warms for none? Some of these questions are ours. Some were Helen Darley's.
"We can do that," said Mr. Silas Peckham. "But I don't propose mater'lly alterin' Miss Darley's dooties. I don't think she works to hurt herself. Some of the Trustees have proposed interdoosin' new branches of study, and I expect you will be pooty much occoopied with the dooties that belong to your place.
Coming to himself a little, he thought there might have been some mistake about the items, would like to have Miss Darley's bill returned, would make it all right, had no idee that Squire Venner had a special int'rest in Miss Darley, was sorry he had given offence, if he might take that bill and look it over "No, Mr. Peckham," said Mr.
