Just as she spoke the study door opened and Bill Ezy came out sobbing, and Wool lifting up his voice and fairly roaring. Mrs. Condiment stepped out of the parlor door. "What's the matter, you blockhead?" she asked of Wool. "Oh! boo-hoo-woo! Ole marse been and done and gone and guv me a line to find an an another boo-hoo-woo!" sobbed Wool, ready to break his heart.
The fisherman turned impatiently. "What air ye wantin', Myry?" "Be you and Ezy hatin' each other?" "He ain't nothin' but a brat," replied Ben scornfully. "Let him keep out of my way, or I fixes him." "He air a-sayin' the same thing," cautioned Myra. "Ye air a-seekin' Tess? He says as how ye air to keep from her." She was walking beside him, her red hands rolled in her gingham apron.
Wool quickly got out of the way and made room for the overseer, who was sniveling like a whipped schoolboy, and to whom the housekeeper said: "I thought you were wiser than to take this so to heart, Mr. Ezy." "Oh, mum, what could you expect? An old sarvint as has sarved the major faithful these forty years, to be discharged at sixty-five! Oh, hoo-ooo-oo!" whimpered the overseer.
"And, what air more, Ezy, I ain't a-goin' to marry Ben Letts, or nobody else, for a lot of years.... I air a-goin' to wait here for Daddy." "And if yer Daddy goes dead?" inquired Ezra longingly. "If he goes dead," she interrupted, lifting her unfathomable eyes, "if he air hanged, then I comes to the Longman shanty and marries yer.... Now go, dum quick!"
It had been arranged that all Major Warfield's family should go, though not all upon the same day. It was proposed that on Thursday, when the festival should be at its height, Major Warfield, Capitola and the house servants should go. And on Saturday Mrs. Condiment, Mr. Ezy and the farm servants should have a holiday for the same purpose.
Bill Ezy was whimpering; Wool was sobbing aloud; Old Hurricane was roaring at them both as he drove them on before him, swearing that Ezy should go and find himself a new home and Wool should go and seek another master. And for this cause Old Hurricane was driving them on to his study, that he might pay the overseer his last quarter's salary and give the servant a written order to find a master.
In some villages the people live half above ground and half below. At St. A very singular settlement is that of Ezy in the valley of the Eure, at the extreme limit of the department of that name. About a kilometre from the village, along the side of the railway, are numerous subterranean habitations in three storeys, with platforms before them which are horizontal.
The overseer came in while they were at breakfast, and with his hair standing on end, listened to the account of the capture of the outlaw by our heroine. "And now saddle Fleetfoot and ride for your life to Tip-Top and bring a pair of constables," were the last orders of Old Hurricane. While Mr. Ezy was gone on his errand, Major Warfield, Capitola and Mrs. Condiment remained below stairs.
I air a-goin' home to Mammy." "Yep, that air right," rejoined Tess with conviction, "for yer mammy air a-grievin' every day for ye, and Satisfied air a-gettin' older and older-lookin'. They thought as how ye might be in Albany." Another loud cry caused Ezy to turn his head toward the infant.
Ben throwed me in the Hoghole, he did, but I know that ye loved him, and I comed." The boy staggered with weakness, and his sister threw an arm around him. "Ye air to come to Mammy," she urged. "Mammy loves ye, Ezy dear." "Wait," whispered the boy. "Ben Letts air to be arrested." "What?" The cry was sharp the words hurt. "Ben Letts air to be tooked to jail. It were him what killed the gamekeeper.
