"Do you know who the mother was?" "I wish I did! I should have got the money out of her long ago." Jervy stole a look at Phoebe.

Mary Potter was at work in the garden, sowing her early seeds.
I have spoken with the woman who waited by the garden-paling at Ramsgate, and who took the child from your hands. She saw you with me at the lecture; and she is absolutely sure that you are the man.

Even had it been day, we might have approached the house unseen. We soon reached the garden-paling. Here we stopped to reconnoitre the ground. A short survey was sufficient.
The "herring-frogs" were keeping up an incessant, birdlike chirp down the glen, and nearer at hand the plunging water of the mill-race made a soothing noise. It really seemed that the poor creature had found a quiet refuge at last. Suddenly, something rustled and moved behind the mass of budding lilacs, at the farther corner of the garden-paling.
Clumps of crown-roses, in blossom, peered over the garden-paling, the woodbine filled the air with its nutmeg odors, and a broad sheet of sunshine struck the upper boughs of the arching sycamore, and turned them into a gilded canopy for the banquet.
