At the top of the town they overtook three sailor-boys, with bundles, who climbed up and perched themselves a-top of the van, on the luggage. On they went again. There were two horses a roan and a grey. Taffy had never before looked down on the back of a horse, and Joby's horses astonished him; they were so broad behind, and so narrow at the shoulders.
Humility would not argue about it; but she told her husband that night what the child had said. "My dear," he answered, "the boy must think of these things." "But he ought not to be talking disrespectfully," contended she. One Tuesday, towards the end of September, Taffy saw his father off by Joby's van; and the Friday after, walked down with his mother to meet him on his return.
"And it is lonely," said Humility, "the most of it sea-sand, so far as I can hear." It was by the sea, then. How would they get there? "Oh, Joby's van will take us most of the way." Of all the vans which came and went in the Fore Street, none could compare for romance with Joby's.
He wanted to ask if the shape were at all common, but felt shy. He stole a glance at the silver ring in Joby's left ear, and blushed when Joby turned and caught him. "Here, catch hold!" said Joby handing him the whip. "Only you mustn't use it too fierce." "Thank you." "I suppose you'll be a scholar, like your father? Can ee spell?" "Yes." "Cipher?" "Yes." "That's more than I can.
He was one of the sailor boys on Joby's van. You remember their helping us with the luggage at Indian Queens'? He showed me his tattoo marks that day." And again he saw his childhood as it were set about with an enchanted hedge, across which many voices would have called to him, and some from near, but all had hung muted and arrested.
