A charming congratulatory smile was addressed to him, and a shake of the head of tender reproach irresistible to his vanity. "Rich! with a lot o' calls on me; everybody wantin' to borrow I'm rich!
I mean there is no danger of their suffering from the hatch being closed?" "Now look here, Mr Vandean, sir; 'scuse me, but you're too easy and soft over 'em. I don't say they're comfortable, for I wouldn't like to sleep down there without having the hatch opened, but the air they've got's quite good enough for such as them." "But you said they were very quiet, and it is startling."
Think I'm going to stay fooling about here in your bogs and never so much as making the price of a pipe?" cried Aron indignantly. "Find me a buyer and I'll sell out." "Sell out?" says Axel. "The land's good ordinary land if she's handled as should be and what you've got's enough to keep a man." "Haven't I just said I'll not touch it?" cried Aronsen again in the gale. "I can do better than that!"
"Why didn't you think about getting yourself some new clothes, like any other woman would?" asked José, eyeing her curiously. "What I got's good enough for me," she returned shortly. "You should have gave your place a nice cleaning and cooked a little for a change, Sadie," said Mrs. Thomas softly and virtuously. "Such things look worse'n dying to me," replied the gipsy.
"I don't suppose you realize it, but there's been practically no rain for two months. It's getting hot. A few weeks of dry, warm weather, and this whole country is ready to blow away. The woods are like a pile of shavings. That would be a fine wedding present to be cleaned out by fire. Every dollar I've got's in timber." "Don't be a pessimist," Linda said sharply. "What makes you so uneasy now?"

Do I not speak like Socrates, and Plato, and Cato they were all philosophers, my dear philosophe! all very great men! and so was Homer and Virgil but they were poets. Yes, yes! I know all about it! But what can anybody say more than this? We are all equal, all Got's children. I haf ten tousand a year, but I am no more dhan de meanest man alive. I haf no pride; and yet, my dear friend!
An sometimes, you remember 'bout all that, he'd go off up into The Mountain 'n' be gone all day, 'n' kill all the Ugly Things he could find up there. Oh, Doctor, I don' like to think o' them days! An' by-'n'-by he grew kin' o' still, 'n' begun to read a little, 'n' 't las' he got's quiet 's a lamb, 'n' that's the way he is now.
"I will not pretend, or presume, kind sir," said he, "to entertain you according to your merits and deserts; but you shall be as welcome to my poor cottage, and my wife and family, as the prince of Wales himself; and it shall go hard if, one way or other, I do not find ways and means of making you confess that there is some goot fellowship in an ancient Priton; for though I am no petter than a simple apothecary, I have as goot plood circulating in my veins as any he in the county; and I can describe and delineate and demonstrate my pedigree to the satisfaction of the 'ole 'orld; and, moreofer, by Got's goot providence and assistance, I can afford to treat my friend with joint of good mutton and a pottle of excellent wine, and no tradesman can peard me with a bill."
