An' ye can't contradict a lie somehow without makin' it look more a truth than ever, that's the way o' the thing. An' it do stick! Passon himself 'ull find that out, it do stick, it do reely now!" Meantime, Walden, left alone, gave himself up to a tumult of misery and self-torture.
Bainton, that you can't see our lady, more 'specially as you wishes to give a message from Passon Walden himself but you jest go back and tell 'im 'ow it is; Miss Vancourt is restin' and can't be disturbed nohow."

Mark had been counting on his adventure with the wild beast to justify his long absence should he be reproached by his mother on his return to the Vicarage. The way it had been disposed of by Cass Dale as an old badger made him wonder if after all it would be accepted as such a good excuse. "I ought to be going home," he said.

After the lapse of nearly a quarter of an hour, Billy crept back to the door, and lifting the latch quietly, whispered to his wife, "Is the passon gone?" "No, Billy," I said, "here I am.
