"I have been looking at the violets and the green fields and back there I saw a thorn tree turning white, but I have seen no fairer thing than you." They surprised me a little those fine words that came so easily. What a school of talk was the house I lived in those days! "I guess I'm getting Mr. Hacket's gift o' gab," I said to myself.
Dolores burst out with, 'I didn't, and as Primrose at this instant ran in to help mamma take off her things, she turned on her heel and went away, leaving Lady Merrifield trusting to a word never hitherto in that house proved to be false, rather than to those glances of Aunt Jane, which had been always held in the Mohun family to be a little too discerning and ubiquitous to be always relied on; and it was a satisfactory recollection that at the farewell moment when Miss Jane professed to have observed the transaction, she had been heard saying, 'Yes, it will never do to be too slack in inquiring into antecedents, or the whole character of the society will be given up, and with her black eyes fixed full upon Miss Hacket's face.

"I know not the name o' yonder man, but I do know that I can give him a lesson in reaping!" So forthwith up jumps she, and, striding out into the sunlit meadow, jerks young Hacket's sickle from his hand, and, having turned back the sleeves o' her smock, stands well upon her shapely legs and begins to reap. Now, methought I had ne'er in all my life seen anything more pleasing to look upon.
