He never shuts his eyes; as Edward says himself, it's like trackin' for game is huntin' for souls. Why, the other day he was walkin' out from Coventry to a service. It was the Sabbath, and he saw a man in a bit of grass by the roadside, mendin' his cart. And he stopped did Edward, and gave him the Word strong. The man seemed puzzled like, and said he meant no harm.
Moira's sweet solicitude held him for an instant in check. "Oh, Tim, ye'd best stay in an' warm your knee by the good fire. I've a pile of mendin' to do, and you'll tell me all about your family in th' West and how you farmed there. It'll be real cozy-like."
'Thin I'll sodder it up agin wid the help uv the priest, says I. 'That ye will not do, says she; 'wance broken, 'tis broke beyond mendin'. 'Go an wid ye, Mary Haggarty darlin', says I, laughin' in her face, 'hivin is y'r home. 'Yes, I'll be goin' there, William Connor, says she, 'I'll be goin' there betimes, I hope. 'How will it be? says I; 'be fire or wateer, Mary darlin'? says I. 'Ye shall know whin it comes, says she, wid a quare look in her eye."
I guess the truth o' the matter is 't he 's jus' plum tired out piecin' 'n' mendin'. It's been a big job sewin' up after Jathrop's cow tore round like that. They say 's he had all of a foot to over-'n'-over along Mr. Fisher, 'n' Mr. Jilkins is jus' tufted like a sofa where he stopped up where he was skewered. Mrs.
Why, peppers every one's faces as we comes near, 'cept the young gals, and breaks windows wi' them too, some on 'em shoots so hard. Now 'twas just here last June, as we was a-driving up the first-day boys, they was mendin' a quarter-mile of road, and there was a lot of Irish chaps, reg'lar roughs, a-breaking stones.

"But Gran'ma Mullins' joy is more 'n balanced by Mrs. Brown, for Mrs.
I wasn't a gardener then, I was in the cobblin' line, an' sat all day mendin' an' patchin' the folks' boots an' shoes. Mollie wur a lovin' little thing, an' oncommon sensible in her ways. She'd sit at my feet an' make-believe to be sewin' the bits of leather together, an' chatter away as merry as a wren.
All he cared for was to lose his time in his books; and that's the way this man'll do, and leave you to take the brunt of everything. Your time'll go in cookin' and mendin' and washin' up; and you'll have to be at everybody's beck and call at the end o' that.

"That's what my boys was brought up to think, 'n they're actin' accordin'." "Have you got some boys up at Lame Gulch?" "Yes, four on 'em. 'N I've got a claim up there too, 'n they're workin' it."
