"Who are you speaking of?" she asked. There was a pause before anybody replied. At last Liddy said frankly," What was passing was a bit of a word about yourself, miss." "I thought so! Maryann and Liddy and Temper- ance now I forbid you to suppose such things. You know I don't care the least for Mr. Troy not I. Every- body knows how much I hate him.
A few minutes after eleven had struck, Maryann turned in her bed with a sense of being disturbed. She was totally unconscious of the nature of the interruption to her sleep. It led to a dream, and the dream to an awakening, with an uneasy sensation that something had happened. She left her bed and looked out of the window.
But Will would not laugh at everything. You could not make him laugh by cooing and smirking and talking nonsense, and otherwise making an ass of yourself before him. Maryann, the nurse, had long tried that in vain, and had almost broken her heart about it.
The old lady is raither low since her husband's death for it wos somewhat sudden an' they do say she's never got over the runnin' away of her only son at least so my wife says, an' she ought to know, for she's bin intimate with the family for many years, an' knows the ooman as nussed the boy " "What, Maryann?" exclaimed Will. "The same. You seems to know 'em all, sir." "Yes, I know them well.
"An important matter made it necessary for me to give up my visit to liddy, and go off at once. What, then, were you following me?" "We thought the horse was stole." "Well-what a thing! How very foolish of you not to know that I had taken the trap and horse. I could neither wake Maryann nor get into the house, though I hammered for ten minutes against her window-sill.
In the background, mellowed by tawny shade, were the three women, Maryann Money, and Temperance and Soberness Miller, gathering up the fleeces and twisting ropes of wool with a wimble for tying them round. They were indifferently well assisted by the old maltster, who, when the malting season from October to April had passed, made himself useful upon any of the bordering farmsteads.
Will you get a fire lighted, put down a piece of carpet, and help me to make the place comfortable. Afterwards, I want you and Maryann to bring up that little stump bedstead in the small room, and the bed belonging to it, and a table, and some other things.... What shall I do to pass the heavy time away?" "Hemming handkerchiefs is a very good thing," said Liddy. "Oh no, no!
The worthy coachman rose with alacrity to obey, and Jemima accepted the proffered cup of tea in the midst of a vain attempt to quiet the baby Richards, which happened to be unusually restive that night. "To think, too," continued Maryann with a laugh, "that I should 'ave gone an' mistook the dear creetur at first for a cannibal!"
Then up comes Maryann; throws the loose locks into the middle of the fleece, rolls it up, and carries it into the background as three-and-a-half pounds of unadulterated warmth for the winter enjoy- ment of persons unknown and far away, who will, however, never experience the superlative comfort derivable from the wool as it here exists, new and pure before the unctuousness of its nature whilst in a living state has dried, stiffened, and been washed out rendering it just now as superior to anything woollen as cream is superior to milk-and-water.
