'Perhaps, said John, with a look of agony on his face, 'you will tell me where the money is to come from. The moment we get into the Law Courts money will simply flow like water, and doubtless the Financial Field has plenty of it. It will add to their reputation, and they will make a boast that they are fighting the battle of the investor in London. Everything is grist that comes to their mill.
Well, well, it's fine to be thinking back on these far-off days, and the work we made at the dyke-building round the first park, and how we gathered the lying stones and rousted out the deeper-set ones; and the dyker made all grist that came to his mill, for he would split up considerable boulders with great exactness and skill, a feat that never came easily to me.
"'Poor little thing. It was just aiming for somebody's hencoop. One of 'em 'll eat chickens faster than Gran's hens can hatch 'em out." Pushing on through the woods at this slow pace brought them to the ruined grist mill and the old dam not before ten o'clock.
"By George, I WILL!" shouted Peck. "I've got him where the hair's short NOW!" "That's right," said Grist. "Gentlemen" Peck turned to the others "when we git to Mrs. Apperthwaite's, jest stop outside along the fence a minute. I recken we'll pick up a recruit." Shivering, we took up our way again in single file, stumbling through drifts that had deepened incredibly within the hour.
After breaking ground by a few comments on the points of Perez' horse, Israel opened the subject of the visit, as follows: "Ye see, Perez, I wuz over't Mill-Holler arter a grist o' buckwheat, an me 'n Ezry got ter talkin baout the way things wuz goin in the village. I s'pose ye've hearn o' the goins on." "Very little, indeed," said Perez.
I don't ask you to accept that proposal without referring to Mr Iver. I merely say that is the proposal, and that we give Mr Iver three days to consider it. After that our offer is withdrawn." Sloyd was biting his nails aye, those nails that he got trimmed in Regent Street twice a week; critical transactions must bring grist to those skilled in manicure.
November passed on, and as all our firewood had to be chopped by old Jenny during the lameness of my husband, I was truly grateful to God for the continued mildness of the weather. On the 4th of December that great day of the outbreak Moodie was determined to take advantage of the open state of the lake to carry a large grist up to Y -'s mill.
She had risen, and was picking up her bag. The hard antagonism of her face calmed him instantly. "Hain't ye goin' to have yer grist ground?" "Not hyeh," she answered, quickly. "Why, gal " He got no further. Martha was gone, and he followed her to the bank, bewildered. The girl's suspicion, lulled by his plausible explanation, had grown sharp again.
Some boys were guarding a pile of stuff that had been purchased and thrown aside. Bart set at work cleaning up the package coverings that littered the place inside and outside. Things were back to normal when the afternoon express came in. It was nearly two hours late, and closing time. There was the usual grist of store packages, which Darry attended to, and several special envelopes.
I know better now what is in me, and I have regained my peace of mind. If in the success of this hasty work there be that which will gratify the interest you so kindly take in me, deem that success your own; I owe it to you, to your revelations, to your admonitions. I wait patiently your own time for further disclosures; till then, the wheel must work on, and the grist be ground.
