Alibone come in for a pipe, like he said he would, then Dave and Dolly might go up and knock at Mrs. Prichard's door, and if they were good they might be let in. Aunt M'riar seized so many opportunities to influence the young towards purity and holiness that her injunctions lost force through the frequency of their recurrence, always dangling rewards and punishments before their eyes.
Ruth's visit to her daughter was the first since the extraordinary discovery of Mrs. Prichard's identity, and she had been very anxious about her. Nevertheless, its object appeared equable, blooming, and prosperous on her arrival; very curious to hear details of her new-found grandmother, and indignant with Dr.
Was his boy to be carried off from him when only just this minute he got him back? Who was Mrs. Prichard that such an exaggerated consideration should be shown to her? Dave expressed himself in the same sense, but with a less critical view of Mrs. Prichard's pretensions. Aunt M'riar pointed out that there was no call to be in a driving hurry. Presently, when Mr.
Lisbeth she says to me, 'Some do say they have to keep their eyes open to tell the old la'adies apart, she says. 'But I'm anoother way o' thinking mysen, she says, 'by reason of this Mrs. Prichard's white head o' hair. And then I handed all the letters to Lisbeth for Strides, as well as her own, seeing ne'er one came out at door for knocking, and brought yowern on with Farmer Costrell's." Mr.
Solmes's nephew "and went home with Carrier Brantock. Didn't you see her?" "Just for a word, this morning. She hadn't so much to tell as you'd think. But it come to this that this old Goody Prichard's own sister to Granny Marrable. Got lost in Australia somehow. Anyhow, she's there now, at the Cottage. No getting out o' that!
But she was sworn to silence on matters she dared not provoke inquiry about. So her tale of her meeting with the convict was minimised. On the other hand, Ruth was scrupulously uncommunicative of everything connected with Mrs. Prichard's supposed delusions. So was Dr. Nash, on the one or two occasions when he looked in at Costrell's Farm, prophylactically.
Then she became drowsy, as old age does when it has talked enough; so, as Aunt M'riar had plenty to see to, she took her leave, Dolly remaining in charge as per contract. Aunt M'riar passed on these stray fragments of old Mrs. Prichard's autobiography to Uncle Mo when he came in from The Rising Sun. The old boy seemed roused to interest by the mention of Van Diemen's Land.
Granny Marrable had looked really pleased at the reductio ad absurdum always exhilarating when one knows what's impossible but looked perplexed over Mrs. Prichard's real identity. "No, indeed, poor dear soul!" she said. "'Tisn't as if there was any would tell us about her."
Wardle, but she had to be accounted for somehow, and the name she bore was too serious a tax on the brain-power of its inhabitants. She repeated Mrs. Prichard's words: "From the factory, ma'am? I see." Because she did not understand them. "It was always called the factory," said Mrs. Prichard. But this made Aunt M'riar none the wiser. What was called the factory?
"It is easier than you think," she said, "if you only make up your mind to it. It is easy for you, because your medical interest in old Mrs. Prichard's case makes it possible for you to entamer the conversation. You see what I mean?" "Perfectly I think. But I don't see how that will entamer old Mrs. Marrable. Won't the conversation end where it began?" "I think not not necessarily.
