She dropped off into a nap about an hour ago, and 'twill do her good." "A nice-looking girl, no doubt?" "You would say so." The other traveller turned his eyes with interest towards the van window, and, without withdrawing them, said, "I presume I might look in upon her?" "No," said the reddleman abruptly.
I was hastening ath'art to tell you at once, as I saw you were not there." "How came you to be there? How did you know it?" she asked. "I have been in that neighbourhood for some time, and I saw them go in," said the reddleman. "Wildeve came up to the door, punctual as the clock. I didn't expect it of him."
"The baby is dry enough, but you are pretty wet," said the reddleman when, in closing the door of his cart to padlock it, he noticed on the floor a ring of water drops where her cloak had hung from her.
"No I won't, I won't!" she said impetuously, quite forgetful of her previous manner towards the reddleman as an underling. "Nobody has ever been served so! It was going on well I will not be beaten down by an inferior woman like her. It is very well for you to come and plead for her, but is she not herself the cause of all her own trouble?
"You think too much of my influence over menfolk indeed, reddleman. If I had such a power as you imagine I would go straight and use it for the good of anybody who has been kind to me which Thomasin Yeobright has not particularly, to my knowledge." "Can it be that you really don't know of it how much she had always thought of you?" "I have never heard a word of it.
The truth is, reddleman, that that lady, so far from wishing to stand in the way of Thomasin's marriage with Mr. Wildeve, would be very glad to promote it." Venn felt much astonishment at this avowal, though he did not show it clearly; that exhibition may greet remarks which are one remove from expectation, but it is usually withheld in complicated cases of two removes and upwards.
When the little figure had vanished in the darkness the reddleman returned, resumed his seat by the fire, and proceeded to darn again. Love Leads a Shrewd Man into Strategy Reddlemen of the old school are now but seldom seen.
The next morning, at the time when the height of the sun appeared very insignificant from any part of the heath as compared with the altitude of Rainbarrow, and when all the little hills in the lower levels were like an archipelago in a fog-formed Aegean, the reddleman came from the brambled nook which he had adopted as his quarters and ascended the slopes of Mistover Knap.
No slight to your looks, reddleman, for ye bain't bad-looking in the groundwork, though the finish is queer. My meaning is just to say how curious I felt. I half thought it 'twas the devil or the red ghost the boy told of." "It gied me a turn likewise," said Susan Nunsuch, "for I had a dream last night of a death's head." "Don't ye talk o't no more," said Christian.
You little children think there's only one cuckoo, one fox, one giant, one devil, and one reddleman, when there's lots of us all." "Is there? You won't carry me off in your bags, will ye, master? 'Tis said that the reddleman will sometimes." "Nonsense. All that reddlemen do is sell reddle. You see all these bags at the back of my cart? They are not full of little boys only full of red stuff."
