I cannot even allow that I'm the man you met then. I was not in my senses, and a man's senses are himself." "We were young and thoughtless," said Newson. "However, I've come to mend matters rather than open arguments. Poor Susan hers was a strange experience." "She was a warm-hearted, home-spun woman. She was not what they call shrewd or sharp at all better she had been." "She was not."
Newson and Jack were down at Lowestoft with the Scandal, and it was characteristic of FitzGerald to give his skipper leave to run home when he wished. FitzGerald always liked the Meum and Tuum to be in harbour on a Sunday so that the men could see their wives and families and have a "good hot dinner."
But darkness makes people truthful, and the Scotchman went on impulsively perhaps he had heard her after all: "I wish I was richer, Miss Newson; and your stepfather had not been offended, I would ask you something in a short time yes, I would ask you to-night. But that's not for me!" What he would have asked her he did not say, and instead of encouraging him she remained incompetently silent.
"I did not hear you coming." "You didn't s'pose I was coming along shouting and whistling, Sergeant Newson? Don't you talk so loud! Dar am no saying who's about." "Hab you brought de stuff?" "You don't suppose I should hab come all dis way to tell you I hab not got it. How am do prisoner?" "Oh, he's dere all right.
Newson Hingeston registered the bond with all gravity, and deposited it at his bank, and then their life-ways parted.
Yet that Newson would ever now return to Casterbridge to claim her as a daughter there was little reason to suppose.
Elizabeth's strict nature would cause her for the first time to despise her stepfather, would root out his image as that of an arch-deceiver, and Newson would reign in her heart in his stead. But Newson did not see anything of her that morning. Having stood still awhile he at last retraced his steps, and Henchard felt like a condemned man who has a few hours' respite.
In 1866 Posh became the owner of a very old deep-sea lugger named the William Tell, and, to enable him to acquire the nets and gear necessary for her complete equipment as a North Sea herring boat, he borrowed a sum of 50 pounds from Tom Newson, and a further sum of 50 pounds from Edward FitzGerald. He, too, seems to have been under the influence of Posh's fascination.
She came forward, spoke, called him "father" just as before. Newson, then, had not even yet returned. "I thought you seemed very sad this morning," she said, "so I have come again to see you. Not that I am anything but sad myself. But everybody and everything seem against you so, and I know you must be suffering." How this woman divined things! Yet she had not divined their whole extremity.
We give him a display of wealth in England; here we are particularly discreet. We shall be surer of our ground in time. I set Dettermain and Newson at work. I have written for them to hire a furnished mansion for a couple of months, carriages, horses, lacqueys. But over here we must really be goodness me! I know how hard it is! we must hold the reins on ourselves tight.
