It was Northway, addressing a cluster of mill-hands, and evidently posing as one of a superior class who deigned to give them disinterested advice. She listened for a minute longer, but heard nothing that could excite her alarm. When she reached the house it was a quarter to ten.
Langhope summed up impatiently, "one could understand it, at his age, and with that damned romantic head but to be put aside for a lot of low mongrelly socialist mill-hands ah, my poor girl my poor girl!" Mrs. Ansell mused. "You didn't write me that things were so bad. There's been no actual quarrel?" she asked. "How can there be, when the poor child does all he wants?
"Oh, that was the way he hid them," said the Forest Chief; "clever enough trick, too." McGinnis and Merritt followed Ben, and a couple of the men around sauntered along also. Wilbur stayed with the horses, watching the mill-hands trying to bring Peavey Jo to consciousness. They had just roused him and got him to his feet when the government party returned.
Then he turned round a side street and disappeared. And what did Stephen do? He walked on till he came to a baker's shop, where he bought some bread; then to a grocer's, where he got sugar, tea, and a candle; and so on, till his arms and pockets were full of parcels. But the odd thing was that he bought so much. That was what struck a man one of the mill-hands who was in the shop.
She waited a minute on the doorstep to let a troop of female mill-hands go by; their shoes clanked on the pavement, and they were singing in chorus, a common habit of their kind in leaving work.

And we went, and wondered, afterwards, what particularly tender guardian angels kept close company with our Butterfly Man. Then occurred the great event which put Meester Fleent in a place apart in the estimation of all Appleboro, forever settled his status among the mill-hands and the "hickeys," and incidentally settled a tormenting doubt of himself in his own mind.
From the moment of his arrest Tilak's followers had put it about amongst the mill-hands that he was in prison because he was their friend and had sought to obtain better pay for them.
Let us be joint sharers with these teachers, and this land of ours will once more be the abode of gods. The only claim I have on your indulgence is that some months ago I attended with Mr. Ewbank a meeting of mill-hands to whom he wanted to explain the principles of co-operation. The chawl in which they were living was as filthy as it well could be. Recent rains had made matters worse.
