Light was so plentiful, at this factory of light, that even the Hopps' barnlike home blazed with a dozen "thirty-twos." "Nothing like having a little light on the subject, Mr. Fo'ster," said Mrs. Tolley, coming out to the porch.
Urijah Hopps appeared in person among the fathers who looked at each other over his head and enlightened them on supply and demand, the Game Laws, the production of cabbages for towns, the iniquity of an Established Church, and the bad metre of the Psalms of David. "You must 'ave henterprise, or it's hall hup with you farmers."
'Plaise your worship' John called me so, ever since I returned from London, firmly believing that the King had made me a magistrate at least; though I was to keep it secret 'us zeed as how your worship were took with thinkin' of King's business, in the middle of the whate-rigg: and so uz zed, "Latt un coom to his zell, us had better zave taime, by takking our dinner"; and here us be, praise your worship, and hopps no offence with thick iron spoon full of vried taties.
Weel, ma mannie, he says tae Hopps, 'it's a fine ploy, and ye 'ill better gang on wi' the Nux till it's dune, and gie him ony ither o' the sweeties he fancies. "'Noo, Hillocks, a' maun be aff tae see Drumsheugh's grieve, for he's doon wi' the fever, and it's tae be a teuch fecht.
Oor air hes a bit nip in't, and is mair searchin' than doon Sooth. Jamie 'ill be speirin' a' mornin' gin ye 'ill answer him, but a'm thinkin' ye'ill be warmer in the kirk." And Drumsheugh escorted Mr. Hopps to cover, who began to suspect that he had been turned inside out, and found wanting. Drumtochty had listened with huge delight, but without a trace of expression, and, on Mr.
Finally, feeling cramped and chilly, he went stiffly indoors, through the hot, bright halls, that smelled of varnish and matting, to his room. The next day was exactly like the five preceding days hot, restless, aimless; and the next night Paul sat on the porch again, and listened to the rush of the river, and Min Tolley's laugh at the "five hundred" table, and the Hopps' baby's lullaby.
Hopps earned the ill-will of the Glen for ever by criticising the doctor's dress, but indeed it would have filled any townsman with amazement. Black he wore once a year, on Sacrament Sunday, and, if possible, at a funeral; topcoat or waterproof never.
When the train started Hillocks received the compliments of the third with much modesty, and added piquant details regarding the utter confusion of our sermon taster.

Masillon doth neither the one nor the other. Afterwards for to Tun it, you must let it grow Luke-warm, for to advance it. And if you do intend to keep your Meathe a long time, you may put into it some hopps on this fashion.
Hopps reaching shelter, three boxes were offered Jamie. The group was still lost in admiration when Drumsheugh returned from his errand of mercy. "Sall, ye've dune the job this time. Jamie. Ye're an awfu' creetic. Yon man 'ill keep a quiet cheep till he gets Sooth. It passes me hoo a body wi' sae little in him hes the face tae open his mooth."
