He'll find that all right. He can read it over the door. He's got eyes in his head." No doubt sticklers for conscience will quarrel with the view that the demands of Truth can be satisfied by an authentic name applied to the wrong person. It did not seem to grate on Uncle Moses, who only said: "Sharp boy! But don't you tell no more lies than's wanted.
"I hope you won't take it unkindly of me," he said, "but my daughter's feeling more than's good for her. She must come home now." And Reuben drew her hand into his arm. The people fell back sorry and conscience-stricken. "We orter ha' known better," they said, "but she makes us forgit she's flesh 'n' blood." "I will read you another sermon some time," said Draxy, slowly. "I shall be very glad to.
Pennel said, "Well, I'm glad to have the child go; she seems so kind o' still and lonesome since Moses went away; really one feels as if that boy took all the noise there was with him. I get tired myself sometimes hearing the clock tick. Mara, when she's alone, takes to her book more than's good for a child." "She does, does she? Well, we'll see about that.
Nay, 'tis more than's worth your while." The fact was, she had already been talking over that very plan with Eleseus, she had heard it from Sivert, who could not keep the secret. And indeed, why should Sivert keep the matter secret when his father had surely told him of it on purpose to feel his way? It was not the first time he had used Sivert as a go-between. Well, but what had Eleseus answered?
Ay, he had been lucky indeed; he felt himself more and more in love, or drawn towards her, or whatever it might be. "You've no call to fetch along all such stuff," said he. "Tis more than's needed." "I've more if I like to fetch it. And there's uncle Sivert besides you've heard of him?" "No." "Why, he's a rich man, and district treasurer besides." Love makes a fool of the wise.
The thing that's WRONG is to stop with that man one minute longer than's absolutely necessary. You don't love him you never loved him; or, if you ever did, you've long since ceased to do so. Well, then, it's a dishonour to yourself to spend one more day with him. How can you submit to the hateful endearments of a man you don't love or care for?
"You're one of those that see more than's there, half your time, Maria," the trainer answered, with an unusual effort at sarcasm, for he was not wholly easy about the young man himself. "There's something up with him, and danged if I know what it is." But these reflections he kept to himself. Dr. Knott, later that same day, made reflections of a similar nature.
"Ye ken mair than's in the catecheesm," remarked Salemina, yawning a little as she put away her darning-ball. "It is pathetic to see you waste your time painting mediocre pictures, when as a lecturer upon love you could instruct your thousands."
"I minds well," said Farmer Oaklerath to his neighbour, "when the squoire hisself comed of age. Lord love 'ee! There was fun going that day. There was more yale drank then than's been brewed at the big house these two years. T'old squoire was a one'er." "And I minds when squoire was borned; minds it well," said an old farmer sitting opposite. "Them was the days! It an't that long ago neither.
He was slightly put out at being detected and commanded me to keep the matter to myself, explaining that the passage from the tower led directly to his apartments, and was known only to him. If I can reach the roof of the barracks and get my machine I can be in Sab Than's quarters in five minutes; but how am I to escape from this building, guarded as you say it is?"
