There was all the solemnity of intention vibrating in this fierce asseveration, and it brought the aged non-combatants forward in eager protestation. The old justice made as if to catch at the bridle rein, then desisted. A certain noli me tangere influence about the fierce guerilla affected even supplication, and the "Squair" resorted to logic as the more potent weapon of the two.
"Squair! squair!" interposed an officious old colleague, taking him by the elbow, "jes' quiet down now; ye air a-cussin' yer own gran'son." "So be! so be!" cried the old man, in a frenzy of rage. "Damn 'em all all the Kittredge tribe!" He gasped for breath; his lips still moved speechlessly as he fell back in his chair.
"An' so ter-night," she went on briskly, she had truly thought it a very good joke, "whilst you-uns war a-star-gazing an' sech, Wat an' me jes stepped inter the register's office thar, an' the Squair married us.

Still staring, the little boy began slowly to shake his head in negation. "What's yer name, Squair? What's yer name?" But the child still stared silently, either uncomprehending or perceiving that his safety lay in incompetency. Clenk rose to his feet in sudden relief. "He don't sense nuthin'! He's too little to talk. He can't tell wuth shucks!
The squire, almost annihilated by this exclamation, fell upon his knees, crying, "I pray yaw, my lord conjurer's worship, pardon my ignorance, and down't go to baind me over to the Red Sea like I'se a poor Yorkshire tyke, and would no more cheat the stars, than I'd cheat my own vather, as the saying is a must be a good hand at trapping, that catches the stars a napping but as your honour's worship observed, my name is Tim Crabshaw, of the East Raiding, groom and squair to Sir Launcelot Greaves, baron knaight, and arrant-knaight, who ran mad for a wench, as your worship's conjuration well knoweth.

He unfolded and held out into the blue empyrean a rather soiled bit of paper, which a small white-gloved hand descended from heaven like a dove and took. Then, presumably, this was duly read: MR.
