'And don't you go to be sneering at honest tools, Ines retorted. 'When will women learn a bit of the world before they're made hags of by old Father Wear-and-Tear! A young woman in her prime, you Madge! be such a fool as not see I serve tool to stock our shop. 'Your paytron bid you steal off with my lady's child, Kit Ines, you'd do it to stock your shop. Ines puffed.
The odds are too hard on us. My lady ought to take into account I behaved respectful when I was obliged to do my lord's orders and remove her from our haunts, which wasn't to his taste. Here I'm like a cannon for defending the house, needs be, and all inside flies off scarified. 'It strikes me, Kit Ines, a man with a paytron is no better than a tool of a man, said Madge.
Wythan; and the circumstance was injurious to him because he stood against Mr. Wythan's pampering system with his men. Ines up at the castle smelt of beer, and his eyelids were sottish. Nothing to do tries the virtue of the best. He sought his excuse in a heavy lamentation over my lady's unjust suspicion of him, a known man of honour, though he did serve his paytron.
But any woman's sure of decent handling with Kit Ines not to speak of lady. He and a mate guard the house. An old woman cooks. 'He guards the house, and he gave you a pass? 'Not he. His pride's his obedience to his "paytron" he calls his master, and won't hear that name abused. We are on the first floor; all the lower doors are locked day and night.
'You wouldn't have found me talking to you here if I had. 'And here I'm left to defend an empty castle, am I? 'Don't drink or you'll have your paytron on you. He's good use there. 'I ask it, can I see my lady? 'Drunk nor sober you won't. Serve a paytron, be a leper, you'll find, with all honest folk. Ines shook out an execrating leg at the foul word. 'Leper, you say? You say that?
You say leper to me? 'Strut your tallest, Kit Ines. It's the money rattles in your pocket says it. 'It's my reputation for decent treatment of a woman lets you say it, Madge Winch. 'Stick to that as long as your paytron consents. It's the one thing you've got left. 'Benefit, you hussy, and mind you don't pull too stiff. 'Be the woman and have the last word! His tongue was checked.

'I've got a paytron, and a man in my profession must have a paytron, or where is he? Where's his money for a trial of skill? Say he saves and borrows and finds the lump to clap it down, and he's knocked out o' time. There he is, bankrup', and a devil of a licking into the bargain. That 's the cream of our profession, if a man has got no paytron. No prize-ring can live without one.
Speaking of my lord's great kindness, her eyes yearned for a second and fell humbly. She said of Kit Ives, 'He's found a new "paytron," Sarah says Mr. Woodseer tells her, my lady.
She could have laughed at the spectacle of a champion prize-fighter out of employ, hulking idle, because he was dog to a paytron; but her contempt of him declined passing in small change. 'So you're off. What am I to tell my lord when he comes? Kit growled. 'His yacht's fetching for a Welsh seaport. She counted it a piece of information gained, and jumped to her seat, bidding the driver start.
