Henry could not be hypocrite enough to assent to this; but still, under the present aspect of affairs, it was impossible to return any but a civil reply; so he said, "Oh, yes, of course certainly. My time is very much occupied, and my sister and mother see no company." "Oh, now, how wrong." "Wrong, sir?" "Yes, surely.
Josiah Kettle is a hypocrite, and I hae telled him so to his face not once, but a score of times. He has robbed the widow. He has impoverished the orphan. Fegs, if I were a man, I could not keep my hands off him, and, 'deed, I have hard enough work as it is. If there was a man about the house worth his salt " "Forgive your enemies " suggested my grandfather, "do good "

Tender with the sick, firm with the strong, fearless, with a body that had the resistance of iron, there was nothing of the hypocrite in him. She recalled him. A gaunt, powerful man: no feature of his face decided, and yet for all that it had the significance of a countenance hewn out of rock.
