I am sick and ill," says Harry. "You and Hetty have been quarrelling?" "She don't care a penny-piece about me, nor I for her neither," says Harry, nodding his head.

A pair of gowks, were we not, in that darkening wood, quarrelling on an issue as flimsy as a spider's web, but who will say it was not human nature?

And with what am I quarrelling, in any case his being less of a saint, or I less of a sinner than I'd been pleased to imagine? I'm sure I don't know."
