Tulliver; "he's comin' away from the 'cademy at Lady-day, an' I shall let him run loose for a quarter; but after that I want to send him to a downright good school, where they'll make a scholard of him." "Well," said Mr. Riley, "there's no greater advantage you can give him than a good education.
Will you write to me and tell me how you are getting on?" "Bless your life, I can do no more than make my mark. But maybe I'll light on some scholard who'll write down out of my mouth, and I'll make him limn a barrel on the paper, and then you'll know for sure 'tis me."
This was a feather in our caps, since she was designed and built by one of our own men, who was no "scholard," having never learned to read or write. Will Hopkins can take an axe and a few tools into the green woods in the fall, and sail down the bay in a new schooner in the spring when the ice goes.
And plase your honour, I take this opportunity of tanking your honour for the encouragement I got about that little clerk's place and here's a copy of my hand-writing I'd wish to show your honour, to see I'm capable and a scholard. Mr. Carv. Hand-writing! Bless me, young man, I have no time to look at your hand-writing, sir.
Words air cur'ous things sometimes, as I know, hevin' had consid'able leisure time to read when I was joggin' 'bout the country an' bein' brought into contack with men o' learnin'. The way I worked it out, not wishin' to ask Parson any more questions, bein' something of a scholard myself, is this: The youth in Ashy is a peculiar kind o' youth, 'n' their religion disposes 'em to lay no kind o' stress on huming life.
"It's a good thing Dent is found," she repeated. "I came to you Hetty, to ask you ef you'd help me to write a letter to Will. You're more of a scholard than I am, and I thought maybe atween us I might make my mind known to the lad." "For sure, Bet, I'll help you to write," said Hester.
I haint been made a scholard, like swell Tim, as was lagged for a forgery." "You go to church on a Sunday?" "Yes; I 'as a weekly hingagement at the New Road." "What do you mean?" "To see arter the gig of a gemman vot comes from 'Igate." Percival lifted his brilliant eyes, and they were moistened with a heavenly dew, on the dull face of his fellow-creature.
All the learnin' my father ever paid for was a bit o' birch at one end and the alphabet at th' other. But I should like Tom to be a bit of a scholard, so as he might be up to the tricks o' these fellows as talk fine and write with a flourish. It 'ud be a help to me wi' these lawsuits, and arbitrations, and things.
He is grave enough to suit you. He does not laugh very easily, I fancy." "After my heart? Stoops like a bow!" "Indeed he does look on the ground as he walks; when I think, I do the same. But what a marvellous man it is! I hear, that he reads the Psalms in Hebrew. He's very affable and meek-like for such a scholard." "Tell you what. Seen the world, Master Dealtry, and know a thing or two.
I congratulated Tom, and asked what time he went to bed: "Oh, about seven o'clock!" He was, in fact, a lonely old bachelor, and, being "no scholard," it saved lights and firing to be early to bed. This man, like many villagers, had very vague ideas of geography. To save the trouble of cooking, he lived largely on American tinned beef, and got chaffed about it by his fellow-workers.
