But once now and then, when I looked at his towering height, I'd think in my inside, "What a weight you'll be, my lord, for our arms to lower under the aisle of Endelstow Church some day!" 'And was he? inquired a young labourer. 'He was. He was five hundredweight if 'a were a pound.
They sank lower and lower. 'Endelstow Vicarage is inside here, continued the man with the reins. 'This part about here is West Endelstow; Lord Luxellian's is East Endelstow, and has a church to itself. Pa'son Swancourt is the pa'son of both, and bobs backward and forward. Ah, well! 'tis a funny world. 'A b'lieve there was once a quarry where this house stands.
'Well, I have had some opportunities of studying mediaeval art and manners in the library and private museum at Endelstow House, and I thought I should like to try my hand upon a fiction.

'It does not, he said emphatically; and looked into the pupils of her eyes with the confidence that only honesty can give, and even that to youth alone. The explanation had not come, but a gloom left her.
'Who is that lady in the carriage? he inquired indifferently of Lickpan the carrier. 'That, sir, is Mrs. Troyton, a widder wi' a mint o' money. She's the owner of all that part of Endelstow that is not Lord Luxellian's. Only been here a short time; she came into it by law.
