He affected to be astonished that I should regret its loss. It was all a true narrative, he exclaimed; if I wished to write a book for the stay-at-homes to read, I could easily invent a thousand lies far more entertaining than any real experiences. He had come to me, he said, to propose something.
Peace has been made between France of the red cross and England of the white, and Flanders of the green. King Henry has ordered a tax of a tenth, under pain of cursing, to be collected before the clergy in the parishes from all stay-at-homes. Our Hugh is not among the bishops present at this Le Mans proclamation. The kingdom is overrun, in patches, with tithe collectors.
"I marvel that none of your neighbors have tried to lend us a hand?" "How could they?" Brilliana asked, astonished. "The brave are with the King at Shrewsbury; the stay-at-homes are not fighters." "Hum," commented Halfman. "What of Master Paul Hungerford?" Brilliana shrugged her shoulders. "A miserly daw, who would not risk a crown to save the crown." Halfman questioned again.
"Thereafter I went with the host to the assembly of the stay-at-homes and fleers, and sat before the Hall-Sun our daughter, and said the words which were put into my mouth. But now must I tell thee a hard and evil thing; that I loved them not, and was not of them, and outside myself there was nothing: within me was the world and nought without me.
There was quite a pleasurable excitement among the stay-at-homes at the tea table, when the incipient breaking up of the ice was declared; for on the proximity of narrow feeding-grounds to the ice-houses depended the hopes of good sport of our adventurers.

Every other question than that was to those young Philistines merely a fine-spun irrelevance. They took the Cash and let the Credit go. There is much to be said, no doubt, for the Harvard veteran's point of view.
The beating he could take; what he wouldn't stand would be, say, Gideon's flinging the books into the fire. "He shan't, he shan't," said the boy's hot heart. "If he does, I'll I'll " Through the window came Gaudylock's voice from the porch of the Bird in Hand. "You Stay-at-homes you don't know what's in the wilderness! There's good and there's bad, and there's much beside.
I leave such graces to the stay-at-homes who twist a tap but, a truce to this witty talk, for it makes but ill friends, and I would ask of thee a favor, which will cost naught but civility, that is cheap and in the end may gain thee much."
But Constance did not smile. Constance was inclined to be grim. "I don't think it would," said she, obstinately. "I'm one of your stay-at-homes. I'm not like you. We can't all be alike," she added, with her 'tart' accent. Sophia suppressed a feeling of irritation. She knew that she had a stronger individuality than Constance's.
He expects special food to-day. The soldier, of course, is getting it, and properly, but the stay-at-homes, who are men over forty-five or lads under nineteen, still get the best of such food as can be got. Exceptions to the nineteen to forty-five rule are very few indeed.
