Soon, however, a man in a canoe, who had been coasting, unseen, along the indentures of the shore, and whom Claud instantly recognized as Phillips, the hunter already named, shot round a neighboring point, and, in a few minutes more, was at his side. "Well, what luck?" cheerily exclaimed Phillips, a keen, hawk-eyed, self-possessed looking man, with a round, compact, and sinewy frame.
As long as she lived, indeed, he never forgot her; and one of the first tasks he set himself when he was out of his indentures was to cut a neat headstone with a simple but beautiful inscription for the grave of that shepherd father whom he had practically never seen. At Langholm, an old maiden lady, Miss Pasley, interested herself kindly in Janet Telford's rising boy.
In answer I suggested that this might be a thing over which I had no control, and she said no more at that time, but on the following day she said: "Tell me the name again of the blacksmith of yours to whom you were to be apprenticed?" "Joe Gargery, ma'am," "You had better be apprenticed at once. Would Gargery come here with you, and bring your indentures, do you think?"
For on this ground, as the prompt nature of Hunger is well known, must a prompt choice be made: hence have we, with wise foresight, Indentures and Apprenticeships for our irrational young; whereby, in due season, the vague universality of a Man shall find himself ready-moulded into a specific Craftsman; and so thenceforth work, with much or with little waste of Capability as it may be; yet not with the worst waste, that of time.

I give board and bed find your own washing. Habits regular 'prenticeship only five years; when over, must not set up in the same town. I will see to the indentures. When can you come?"

Three servants would not have been required if it had not been Mr. Gibson's habit, as it had been Mr. Hall's before him, to take two 'pupils, as they were called in the genteel language of Hollingford, 'apprentices, as they were in fact being bound by indentures, and paying a handsome premium' to learn their business.
