But after this night there was a different atmosphere in John Penelles' cottage. John's unhappiness had been mainly caused by the sight of his wife's anxiety and sorrow; and if Joan was her old self, John was not the man to let the loss of his boat and his position make him miserable.
"I could have done without the news, John, till the bread was baked and the floor was whitened." She had her back to John, but, as he did not speak again, she turned her face over her shoulder and looked at him. The next moment she was at his side. "What is it, John? John Penelles, speak to me." John stood on the hearth with his left arm outstretched and holding an open letter.
For 'twill be a bad hour for you if he do and so it will!" "I did not expect such a reception, Mrs. Penelles. I have dealt honourably with your daughter." "You have made my daughter to sin. Aw, then, I will not talk about my daughter with you. No indeed!" "Have you no message to send to Denas?"
That bit of gold have burnt my soul blacker than a coal! dreadful! aw, dreadful! I wouldn't touch it again to save my mean old life. And if there be a man or a woman in Cornwall that will touch it, they be as uncommon bad as I be! that is sure." "Paul, I forgive you, and there is my hand upon it. A man can only be 'sorry. 'Sorry' be all that God asks," said John Penelles in a low voice.
As he spoke he gently took the girl's hand, and with a perfectly civil "Good-evening, sir," turned with her homeward. "Too fast, Penelles; I am going with you." "Much obliged; not to-night, sir. It be getting late. Say good-evening, Denas."
