It was in the wintry dusk that these two travellers arrived at Frimley. Jane Payland walked to one of the narrow, old-fashioned windows, and looked out into the street, where lights were burning dimly here and there. "What a strange old place, ma'am," she said. Honoria had forbidden her to say "my lady" since their departure from Raynham.
After much pacing of the upper meadows he came heavily down at last to see to his lambs. Davy was just jumping the wall on to his uncle's land, having apparently come down the Frimley path. When he saw his uncle he thrust his hands into his pockets, began to whistle, and came on with a devil-may-care swing of the figure. They met in a gateway between two fields.
She had been the proud wife 'o' t' cliverest mon atwixt Sheffield an Manchester, as Frimley and the adjacent villages had once expressed it, when every mother that respected herself sent her children to 'Lias Dawson's school.

He was a man who loved the pleasures and luxuries of this world better than he loved peace of mind; better than he loved his own soul. He drew rein before the inn-door, and called to the people within. A man came out, and took the bridle as he dismounted. "What is the name of this place?" he asked.
