It was the same figure I had seen once before in the moonlight, at Plover's Barrows; and proved, to my great delight, to be the little maid Gwenny Carfax. She started a moment, at seeing me, but more with surprise than fear; and then she laid both her hands upon mine, as if she had known me for twenty years. "Young man," she said, "you must come with me. I was gwain' all the way to fetch thee.
"I be gwain to give myself a rub over and put on my Sunday gown. I be gwain now." Annie paused in the act of washing a plate, and let the film of dirty water run off it into the pan again. Then she drew a deep breath, as though the greasy-smelling steam that wavered up towards her nostrils were the sweetest of incense.
"Why, yes," said Boase. "I want to knaw if 'ee'll tache our Vassie too. Archelaus, he'em too old, and thinks on naught but gwain with females, and Tom's doen fine with Mr. Tonkin, and for me I'm not that class. Farmen's my traade. But the maid, she'm so quick and clever, 'tes only fitty she should have her chance same as the lil'un.
Any lapse of the kind meant that Tom was not in a mood to be trifled with, and Annie turned suddenly to Archelaus. "Where's the cheild?" she asked. "I set'n to gather bullock's glows for th' fire we shall want more'n furze for to-night," replied Archelaus. "Give I a light to take overstairs; 'tes time I was cleanen' of myself. I'm gwain to run with the Neck to-night."
Of Ishmael she took no more notice than if he had not been there, and he leant against the doorpost, scraping the earth with the toe of his hard little boot, his thumbs stuck in his belt. "I be gwain to help cry the Neck over to Cloom!" announced Phoebe to the Parson and at Ishmael "and I be gwain to stay to th' supper, and maybe I'll dance wi' a chap.
The weather continued calm and clear, and as the flying-fish were about in such immense numbers, I ventured to suggest to Goliath that we might have a try for some of them. I verily believe he thought I was mad. He stared at me for a minute, and then, with an indescribable intonation, said, "How de ol' Satan yew fink yew gwain ter get'm, hey?
"Gwain to put my own cheild auver my head and the head of my first-born, is 'ee?" cried Annie. "Eh, that passon! Sim'me he's lacken' his senses! Sim'me that when the law lets a man like that come shoven' and meddlen' in a woman's house that the law's lacken' its senses too!" "Don't fret about the law," advised Tom; "I've heard tell the law can be turned any way a clever chap has a mind.
"So you're bringing Phoebe over to Cry the Neck, Sam?" he asked casually. Sam Lenine nodded. "Gwain be there, Passon?" "Maybe. Fact is, Sam, I thought it would be a good opportunity to sit that boy at the head of the table " Lenine nodded again, but waited in silence.
Maybe you'd like to come and have a try at it, if you'm not gwain to be above turnen your own hand to work?" Ishmael had a moment's qualm. What ploughing he had done had been but slight, and he was not free from an uneasy impression that John-James was laying a trap for him into which he would not be sorry to see him fall.
