Dickon the smith stood under the great oak tree that sheltered the forge, weary and sick at heart. There was no better man of his inches in all Sussex, but the world is not always good to see, even at nineteen. Dickon's world had been empty ever since the departure of Audrey of the Borstall Farm, cousin to Edwitha, the wife of his friend Wilfrid the Potter.
But hey! there are the towers of the abbey already, and it is not yet mid- afternoon. Let us ride on to see Wilfrid and find out whether he approves of our fine plan." While this discussion of the noble art of cookery was going on miles away, Wilfrid and Edwitha, with no thought of inns, were watching the laborers digging where Wilfrid thought the rest of the building ought to be.
Any man has a right to protect his own wife from the advances of other men. But you have another alternative you were married to Edwitha first, because of your deliberate intention, and now you can prosecute her for bigamy, in subsequently marrying Jones.
I think I could take up the argument where I left off, and by following it closely awhile, perhaps I could prove to your satisfaction, either that you never existed at all, or that you are dead now, and consequently don't need the faithless Edwitha I think I could do that, if it would afford you any comfort.

"Not so fast," said his guest. "I am but a harbinger.
"It's partly about Cold Harbor that we came but here they all are, upon my life!" A merry company of travelers rode up the lane, and as they dismounted Edwitha came over the little footpath across the field, with the children clinging to her hands a little embarrassed to find so many folk arriving and she not there.
You can't think how funny it was to hear Aunt Izzie reading 'Edwitha' out loud " and Katy went into convulsions at the recollection "where she got to 'Oh Bop my angel Bop I just rolled under the table, and stuffed the table-cover in my mouth to keep from screaming right out.
It was a beautiful hiding-place, for the seat goes back ever so far; but Edwitha was such a fat bundle, and old Judge Kirby takes up so much room, that I was afraid there would be trouble.
"No," cried Clover; "first 'The Blue Wizard, or Edwitha of the Hebrides, you know, Katy." "Didn't I tell you?" said Katy; "a dreadful accident has happened to that." "Oh, what?" cried all the rest, for Edwitha was rather a favorite with the family. It was one of the many serial stories which Katy was forever writing, and was about a lady, a knight, a blue wizard, and a poodle named Bop.
