'My opinion, father, is, that all things go on very well; and I was just now thinking, that when sister Livy is married to farmer Williams, we shall then have the loan of his cyder-press and brewing tubs for nothing. 'That we shall, Moses, cried I, 'and he will sing us Death and the Lady, to raise our spirits into the bargain.
