Afore I'm old and like to die, I want to see good times, Ed'ard good times along with you. 'What sort of good times?
'Oh, Ed'ard, speak kind! 'What a fool I was! You must have detested me for interrupting the honeymoon. Of course you went back! What a fool I was! And I thought you were pure as an angel. 'I couldna help it, Ed'ard; the signs said go, and then he threw me in the bracken. Something broke in Edward's mind. The control of a life-time went from him. 'Why didn't I? he cried.
'Seems as if the world's nought but a snare, Ed'ard. 'Yes. But I'm going to spend my life keeping you safe, little Hazel. I hope it won't make you unhappy to leave the Mountain? 'Leave the Mountain? 'Yes. I must give up the ministry. 'Why ever? 'Because I know now that Jesus Christ was not God, but only a brave, loving heart hunted to death. 'Be that why you dunna say prayers now? 'Yes.
Sipping it in the dim parlour, where familiar things looked eerie, she thought of Reddin and his strange doings since her wedding. 'Eh, but it ud anger Ed'ard sore if he came to know, she thought. 'What for does Mr. Reddin come, when he can see I dunna want him? A slow flush crept over neck and temples as she half guessed the answer.
"Ay," said Bess, "it was hers;" and she hurried on huskily: "When you went away she couldna abide th' lonesomeness, an' so one day she said to her brother, 'Dave, let us go to th' new mine wheer Mester Ed'ard is; an' him bein' allus ready fur a move, they started out together. But on th' way th' lad took sick and died sudden, an' Jinny wur left to hersen'. An' then she seed new trouble.
'Because I say so. 'But why so far, whatever? she asked amazedly. 'Because I want you to. 'But I mun go to chapel along of Ed'ard, and sing 'ymns proper wi' the folks and me singing higher nor any of them can go, for all I'm new to it and the old lady' her face grew mischievous 'the old lady in a shiny silk gownd as creaks and creaks when she stirs about! Reddin lost patience.
Ed'ard, these be proper stockings, inna they? Edward glanced at them, and said indifferently that they were. As he did so, a line that had lately appeared on his forehead became very apparent. In her room upstairs, papered with buttercups and daisies by Edward himself, and scented by a bunch of roses he had given her, Hazel thought about Hunter's Spinney.
Delighted admiration of Florence and Walter always overthrew the rest, and remained victorious and undisguised, unless Mr Toots made another rush into the air, and then the Captain would sit, like a remorseful culprit, until he came back again, occasionally calling upon himself, in a low reproachful voice, to 'Stand by! or growling some remonstrance to 'Ed'ard Cuttle, my lad, on the want of caution observabl in his behaviour.
"Marso Ed'ard allus tole me be keerful ob dem, and de roads am putty bad sence de big storm." Zoe glanced at her watch as they entered the village. "Drive directly to the depot, Uncle Ben," she said. "It's fully fifteen minutes past the time for the train to be in." "I ain't heard de whistle, Miss Zoe," he remarked, as he turned his horses' heads in the desired direction.
And if I mun have a baby, I'd lief it was like Ed'ard, and not like you. With that she went out of the room, and he noticed that she was wearing the dress she had come in, and not the silk. He sat by the fire, brooding; but at last managed to cheer himself by the thought that she would get over it in time. She was naturally upset by Sally just now.
