"And then, if you would talk to the Poysers if you would talk the matter over with Mr. Irwine he means to see you to-morrow and then if you would join your arguments to his to prevail on them not to go....I know, of course, that they would not accept any favour from me I mean nothing of that kind but I'm sure they would suffer less in the end. Irwine thinks so too. And Mr.
Thurle, that desirable tenant, did not come to the Chase Farm, and the old squire, after all, had been obliged to put in a new bailiff. It was known throughout the two parishes that the squire's plan had been frustrated because the Poysers had refused to be "put upon," and Mrs. Poyser's outbreak was discussed in all the farm-houses with a zest which was only heightened by frequent repetition.
"Well, good-bye, then, Mother good-bye, lad remember Gyp when you get home," said Adam, turning away towards the gate of the pleasure-grounds, where he hoped he might be able to join the Poysers, for he had been so occupied throughout the afternoon that he had had no time to speak to Hetty.
He had told Seth to go to the Chase and leave a message for the squire, saying that Adam Bede had been obliged to start off suddenly on a journey and to say as much, and no more, to any one else who made inquiries about him.

I'm sure I wouldn't bring any trouble or annoyance on her and the good Poysers on any account if I could help it. But I think you look a little too seriously at it.

"That is Hetty Sorrel," said Miss Lydia Donnithorne, "Martin Poyser's niece a very likely young person, and well-looking too. My maid has taught her fine needlework, and she has mended some lace of mine very respectably indeed very respectably." "Why, she has lived with the Poysers six or seven years, Mother; you must have seen her," said Miss Irwine.
But for all the world Adam would not have spoken of his love to Hetty yet, till this commencing kindness towards him should have grown into unmistakable love. He did no more than pluck a rose for her, and walk back to the farm with her arm in his. When Adam, after stopping a while to chat with the Poysers, had said good-night, Mr.
