Manson said softly, "but I don't believe we've changed much. We're too bred in the bone." "Do we want the old times back?" asked Mrs. Bowers, to whom the past years had been kind. "For some things, yes, and for others, no. Living's a great deal more expensive, and my husband's income is just the same," put in Mrs. Dibbott after a pause.
Andrews nodded his head. "All you want," he said. "No, if he says he's a comrade, he shan't pay, not a sou," growled the old man. "We'll see about that," cried the old woman, drawing her breath in with an angry whistling sound. "It's only that living's so dear nowadays," came the girl's voice. "Oh, I'll pay anything I've got," said Andrews peevishly, closing his eyes again.
In you the vile desire to live for living's sake will soon be dead, if it is not dead already. Your soul, drawn strongly upward to other spheres, is well nigh loosed from love of life and fear of death. If at this moment you could lie down and die, you would meet your end joyfully.
"Ye follow me," saith he, "not because ye have seen the signs and miracles that I have done; but because ye have eaten the bread, and refreshed your bodies, therefore you follow me."

Send Jefferson for the dog doctor over on Penn Street. And, Mary, you carry him up to my room. Lift him gently, poor fellow! I'm afraid we'll lose him this time." There was unaffected grief in the little lady's tone, but Chloe was heard to mutter, composedly, as she departed kitchenward: "A good riddance, I say. Time he died if his living's going to make fools of human beings."
"But it's silly to live at all for little things," she added quietly. "Living's too much trouble unless one can get something big out of it." Dr. Archie rested his elbows on the arms of his chair, dropped his chin on his clasped hands and looked at her. "Living is no trouble for little people, believe me!" he exclaimed. "What do you want to get out of it?" "Oh so many things!" Thea shivered.
"We could do with a new harrow," said Aaron, "only there's no way to pay for it." Mr. Jeminy shook the reins over Elijah's back. "I have a little money," he began, "laid away . . ." "You're very kind," said Aaron, "but I don't figure to take advantage of it. Still, living's hard; so much trouble. Take me; here I am bound down to a farm's got as many rocks in it as anything else.
