She'll never love any man as a husband that's my belief." "Nay, lad, there's no telling; thee mustna lose heart. She's made out o' stuff with a finer grain than most o' the women; I can see that clear enough. But if she's better than they are in other things, I canna think she'll fall short of 'em in loving." No more was said. Seth set out to the village, and Adam began his work on the coffin.
Poyser went into the back kitchen to send Nancy into the cellar with the great pewter measure, which had some chance of being free from bewitchment. "Why, Hetty, lass, are ye turned Methodist?" said Mr. Poyser, with that comfortable slow enjoyment of a laugh which one only sees in stout people. "You must pull your face a deal longer before you'll do for one; mustna she, Adam?
"Eh," said Lisbeth, "it's poor luck for the platter to wear well when it's broke i' two. The sooner I'm laid under the thorn the better. I'm no good to nobody now." Adam never took notice of his mother's little unjust plaints; but Seth said, "Nay, Mother, thee mustna say so. Thy sons 'ull never get another mother." "That's true, lad, that's true," said Mr.
"I'm going to the Hall Farm, but mayhap I may go to the school after, so thee mustna wonder if I'm a bit late. Seth 'ull be at home in half an hour he's only gone to the village; so thee wutna mind." "Eh, an' what's thee got thy best cloose on for to go to th' Hall Farm? The Poyser folks see'd thee in 'em yesterday, I warrand. What dost mean by turnin' worki'day into Sunday a-that'n?
"It is not just like last time, when we were strangers and new to the people. And we have seen almost everybody already. And I like this quiet time much best." "But, my dear, it is too late to begin to think first of your own likes and dislikes now. And it will be good for Rosie, and you mustna tell me that you are losing interest in your Merleville friends, dear!
Christie's countenance fell; but in a little time she said "But the harvest is a great deal better this year, Effie." "Yes; but there winna be much to sell. If we don't have to buy, it will be a great thing for us. And the shoes we must have, and new harness, and other things. I mustna think of staying this winter, I'm sure, Christie." Christie gave a long sigh, as she rose with her full pail.
Fanny's fears on my account have some foundation. Janet, do you mind the song foolish Jean used to sing? "`The lads that cast a glance at me I dinna care to see, And the lads that I would look at Winna look at me. "Well, dear, you mustna be angry though I say it, but you may be ower ill to please. I told you that before, you'll mind." "Oh! yes, I mind. But I convinced you of your error.
"It's partly truth thee speak'st there, Mother," said Seth, mildly; "Adam's far before me, an's done more for me than I can ever do for him. God distributes talents to every man according as He sees good. But thee mustna undervally prayer. Prayer mayna bring money, but it brings us what no money can buy a power to keep from sin and be content with God's will, whatever He may please to send.
And, Dawvid, we mustna be hard on the laddie, but just let him have his fancies about things, and let him carry them out when they are harmless, and when they dinna cost ower muckle money," added grannie, with prudent afterthought, for some of Davie's fancies would have cost money if he had been allowed "to go the full length of his tether." "And after all is said, there is sense in his fancies.
"And a hundred and twenty pounds of it! It's worth twenty-five cents a pound, at least. Think of that, Christie! thirty dollars in all! That is something of your doing, I should think." "Partly," said Christie. "I only helped." But she was very much pleased. "If we could only sell it, it would get us shoes, and lots of things." "But I'm afraid we mustna sell it," said Effie.
