He bends his long neck, and breathing loudly through his nose, makes a spoon out of a big crooked bit of wood; the other a little scraggy, pock-marked peasant with an aged face, a scanty moustache, and a little goat's beard sits with his hands dangling loose on his knees, and without moving gazes listlessly at the light.
"Well;" he said, "got over your fool falling in love with a female old enough to be your mother?" Sam looked at him. "I hope your trip has put sense into you on that subject, anyhow?" "I love Mrs. Richie as much as I ever did, if that's what you mean, sir," Sam said listlessly. Upon which his grandfather flew into instant rage. "As much in love as ever! Gad-a-mercy!
