For the bit farms in our part there'd be enough. He's too sharp, and you mustn't force him. If you see he's not the farming sort, when he's thirteen or fourteen or so, take Mr. Gurney's advice, and bind him to a trade. Mr. Gurney'll pay the premiums for him and he can have the balance of the money for I've left him to manage it all, for himself and Louie too when he's fit to set up for himself.
No one raised any objections to Mrs. Gurney's plans except Gussie, and her objections were many and loudly expressed. It was shameful of Dexie to thrust herself into the Gurney family as she was doing. Anyone could see that it was more on Lancy's account than Elsie's that Dexie was so delighted to accompany them. Why didn't she go and live with them at once?
She stood a moment, looking down the stretch of curdling black water, then, turning with a sudden gesture, as though she flung something from her, looked at him with a pitiful effort to smile.
