The face of Phoebe was lighted with some eagerness, some deep anxiety, and not a little passion as she listened to this harangue. "You mean that gate-stone brought this upon us?" she asked. "No, no, never," declared Damaris; "'t is contrary to all reason." "'T is true, whether or no; an' any fule, let alone a man as knaws like I do, would tell 'e the same.

"Wa-al, no," said Triggs, "I woan't do that, 'cos they as I'se got here might smell un out; but I'll tell 'ee what: I knaws a chap as has in many ways bin beholden to me 'fore now, and I reckon if I gives un the cue he'll do the job for 'ee." "But do you think he's to be trusted?" Eve asked.
