She married Lord Southwater, and I'd have gone with her only I couldn't leave my Granny. She was failin', poor old soul!" She paused and again she heaved the deepest of sighs. "Beggin' your pardon, m'lady, for talkin' so much. You'd maybe take a look at the little place?" she said. Lady O'Gara turned aside. She was in no great hurry home and she was interested in Susan.
"Think of that, gentlemen! A circuit judge bemeanin' a citizen and a taxpayer" he checked himself slightly "anyhow, a citizen, thataway! It shows he can't be rational his ownself. Personally I claim Old Priest is failin' mentally he must be! And ef anybody kin be found to run against him at the next election you gentlemen jest watch and see who gits my vote!"

I'm afraid 'at Dick'll wait until I'm gone, an' then come snoopin' around, like a coyote sneakin' into camp when the hunters are away. Don't answer me now, child; just think it over careful.

And right then is when you begin over right in that same shop! Nobody can call me a hard man or a mean father. I do the best I can for my chuldern, and I take full responsibility for bringin' my sons up to be men. Now, so far, I've failed with you. But I'm not goin' to keep ON failin'. I never tackled a job YET I didn't put through, and I'm not goin' to begin with my own son.

The vagaries of these "lands" that the absent-minded Nehemiah laid off attracted some attention. "What ails yer furrows ter run so crooked, Nehemiah?" observed a passer-by, a neighbor who had been to the blacksmith-shop to get his plough-point sharpened; he looked over the fence critically. "Yer eyesight mus' be failin' some." "I dun'no'," rejoined Nehemiah, hastily.
"Besides, poor old Jerry knocks his hind feet together so, I heard him clicking along even before I heard the wagon squeak. How's Mandy, Eben?" "Mandy, she ain't very well," replied the countryman. "She's ben havin' them weakly spells right along lately. Seems though she was failin' up sometimes, but I dono." "Oh, no, she isn't, Eben," answered Melody, cheerfully.
And when he'd finish his own task for the day, how kindly he'd begin an' help me wid mine! No, Vara, it goes to my heart to let him go away upon sich a plan, and I wish he hadn't taken the notion into his head at all." "It's not too late, maybe," replied his mother: "I think it wouldn't be hard to put him off of it; the crathur's own heart is failin' him to lave us.
