'Thinking of your wife? the soldier gossiped, walking up and down outside the shed. 'You're old, what good is your wife to you? The soldier stopped and stretched his arms till the joints cracked. 'Or your children? Never mind, they'll get on in the world without a helpless old man like you. Yakob was silent, and the soldier crouched down near him. 'Old man, you ought...
A stranger in the room would have sealed their lips in utter taciturnity, but here they sat with a friend, five months of loneliness and labor behind them, and they gossiped like girls.

I laughed, so did ma chère mère also; I began to understand her character and manner.

To a writer now dead, and then first met, I am specially bound in gratitude the late Mr. J. F. M'Lennan. Mr. M'Lennan had the most acute and ingenious of minds which I have encountered. His writings on early marriage and early religion were revelations which led on to others.

Three months after she came to Wortley Manor, she was Stephen Dane's wife. "That marriage was the beginning of all the trouble, Mollie. They left the farm, this young pair, and set up a public-house. A public suited Mary Dane to the life. She flaunted in gay dresses and bright ribbons, and gossiped over the bar with the customers, and had all the news of the place put at her tongue's end.
Men and women and cattle were at work in the dewy fields by this time. The people often stepped aboard the raft, as we glided along the grassy shores, and gossiped with us and with the crew for a hundred yards or so, then stepped ashore again, refreshed by the ride.
