Took on her uncle's farm, who died suddenly. Used to measure his money in half-pint cups. They say now that she've business in every bank in Casterbridge, and thinks no more of playing pitch-and-toss sovereign than you and I, do pitch-halfpenny not a bit in the world, shepherd." "That's she, back there upon the pony." said Mary- ann.
We plunged down the last hill and came gasping to my father's wharf. Most of our folk were already vigorously underway towards South Tickle. "Lives afore salvage, lads!" my father shouted from his punt. My sister caught my arm. "'Tis a big steamer, Bessie!" I cried, turning. "Ay," she said, hurriedly. "But do you go stay with mother, Davy. She've sent me t' Tom Turr's by the path.
It is a very out-of-the-way village, and she has to wait for chances of a cart and team coming and going from one of the farms, and so get a lift. It was the Weeding Woman's aunt who sent me the hose-in-hose. The Weeding Woman told me "Aunt be mortal fond of her flowers, but she've no notions of gardening, not in the ways of a gentleman's garden.
All the folk jumped up and then we found that Susan Nunsuch had pricked Miss Vye with a long stocking-needle, as she had threatened to do as soon as ever she could get the young lady to church, where she don't come very often. She've waited for this chance for weeks, so as to draw her blood and put an end to the bewitching of Susan's children that has been carried on so long.
"Oh, ay," said he, "I heared tell o' that. But 'tis not t' the point. Davy, lad," in an undertone which betrayed great agitation, "she've her cap set for a man, an' she's desperate." "Ay?" said I. He bent close to my ear. "An' she've her eye on me!" he whispered. "Skipper Tommy," I earnestly pleaded, "don't you go an' do it."
'Tis this way: Queen Victoria, as have given of the best she've got wi' both hands to the high men of the land, so they tell me, caan't forget nought, even at such a time as this here. She've made gert additions to all manner o' men; an' to me, an' the likes o' me she've given what's more precious than bein' lords or dukes. I'm free me an' all as runned from the ranks.

They laughed and called out to Lizzie that she was in luck's way. But Taffy saw the child's face as she stared into the empty basket, and that it was perplexed and forlorn.
But these two the man especially had nothing to say, yet ached for words. "Nance Treweek's married," the woman managed to tell him at last. "I was thinking it likely, by the way she carried on last Maying." "That wasn' the man. She've kept company with two since him, and mated with a fourth man altogether quite a different sort, in the commercial traveller line." "Did he wear a seal weskit?"
But although she have neither fore nor after castles, she've a poop, and a raised deck for'ard where guns can be mounted and where, sheltered behind good stout bulwarks, the crew'll be so safe as in any castle. Do 'e see any other differences in her?" "Yes, I do," answered George, as he walked round the hull and viewed it from different standpoints; "indeed I see nothing but differences.
"Th' white ship she've come back," some of them were screaming. They were scrambling down towards the landing, just hoping that they might in some way be of service. The yacht had lost her headway but the propeller was still churning, and I could see that she was turning around to her mooring. Then I heard them putting the yawl overboard.
