He had, as the saying is, forgotten more about horses than most men ever knew, and what he didn't know wasn't worth knowing. He was a cheery man, and when I went to Aldington was about to be married. Not being much of a "scholard," his first request was that I would write out his name and that of his intended, for the publication of the banns.
"Dealtry, Peter Dealtry, Sir, is my name. Why the most noticeable man, you must know, is a great scholard, a wonderfully learned man; there yonder, you may just catch a glimpse of the tall what-d'ye-call-it he has built out on the top of his house, that he may get nearer to the stars.
I've heard you are a scholard," said Dick, "but you won't make out this; there's some new preparation of mercury, and there's musk, and there's horehound, and there's a neutral salt: and dal his old head that wrote it!" "Hold your jaw, and listen, while I construe it to you. 'Die Mercurii, on Wednesday decima hora vespertina, at ten o'clock at night eat in Musca: what does that mean?
Arctics, and tropics, and equator, and equinoctial line; we'll take 'em turn and turn about; we'll do writing and ciphering one night, and geography t' other. Philip spoke with pleasure at the prospect, but Sylvia relaxed into indifference. 'I'm no scholard; it's like throwing away labour to teach me, I'm such a dunce at my book.
"What'll Master Lake say to that?" "Don't 'ee tell un, Gearge!" Abel implored; "and, O Gearge! let I tell mother about the word. Maybe she've heard tell of it. Let I show her the letter, Gearge. She'll read it for 'ee. She's a scholard, is mother." There was no mistaking now the wrath in George's face. The fury that is fed by fear blazes pretty strongly at all times.
"You see, I want to put him to a new school at midsummer," said Mr. Tulliver, when the topic had been reached. "I want to send him to a downright good school, where they'll make a scholard of him. I don't mean Tom to be a miller an' farmer. I see no fun i' that. I shall give Tom an eddication and put him to a business as he may make a nest for himself, an' not want to push me out o' mine."
One other fact I noticed: that a little lad, afterward discovered to be Jem Watkins, to whom had fallen the hard-working lot of the lost Bill, had somehow crept into our household as errand-boy, or gardener's boy; and being "cute," and a "scholard," was greatly patronized by Jael.
The men were much amused at first at the idea of "goin' to school," and some of them looked rather shy at it; but O'Riley, after some consideration, came boldly forward and said, "Well, boys, bad luck to me if I don't think I'll be a scholard afther all.
Why, no reasonable man can doubt; so I give up preachin'. "'Well, sais I, 'Abednego, you are a Socdolager, that's a fact; you are a great man, and a great scholard. Now a great scholard, when he can't do a sum the way it's stated, jist states it so he can do it.
"Well, not exactly; he speaks rather quietly; he is well educated, too, to judge by the Latin he quotes." "Sure now, a scholard. Myself, I never had no book larnin' to speak of; never got no further than pothooks an' hangers!" He laughed as he lifted his hook. But he seemed to be disinclined for further conversation.
