No sooner did the dark queen hear the soberer richer note of Tess among those of the other work-people than a long-smouldering sense of rivalry inflamed her to madness.

But Mill'-cent an' three or four o' the t'others 'lowed they'd go on. They warn't two mile from home, an' full five from the cross-roads. So Em'ry Keenan he hev been waitin' on her sence the year one so he put his skeer in his pocket an' kem along with her, a-shakin' in his shoes, I'll be bound!
