The only one with any doubt concerning the issue of the job was the one who knew most about it, and that was Robin Cockscroft. He doubted not about want of strength, or skill, or discipline of his oars, but because the boat was not Flamburian, but borrowed from a collier round the Head.
For any Flamburian boy was considered a "Brain Scholar," and a "Head-Languager," when he could write down the parson's text, and chalk up a fish on the weigh-board so that his father or mother could tell in three guesses what manner of fish it was. And very few indeed had ever passed this trial. For young Robin it was a very hard thing to be treated so by the other boys.
Widow Precious was a very tough lady to get over, and she liked to think the worst she could of everybody which proves in the end the most charitable course, because of the good-will produced by explanation and for some time she had stood in the Flamburian attitude of doubt toward the factor.
These came zealously, with speed of leg and wing, from straw-rick, threshing-floor, double hedge, or mixen; and following their tails, the boy slipped through the rick-yard, and tossed a note to Mary with a truly Flamburian delivery.
