The party near the mills, too, remaining perfectly quiet, there was less occasion for any change of their own, than might otherwise have been the case.
Otherwise, if two are on terms of communion, it is hard to see why the giving or receiving of this service should be any more unworthy than any other help, which friends can grant to each other.
