He was also injured at having been kept up so late last night. He chumbled his straw for some time, until the last cow had disappeared. Then he said: 'You'm up early for a married 'ooman, or whatever you be, missus. Hazel laughed. She had lived so completely outside the influence of the canons of society that the taunt had no sting.

Why, your face is as long as Friar Tuck's. I promise I will not harass you with the taunt that you married me for my money. In fact, my husband, it's the other way around. I might accord you that privilege." She drew his arm through hers.
