"Oh, Richard, thee has been so kind and helpful to me. Thee'll never know all that's in my heart. When I think what I was when I first knew thee, I wonder at it all." "Adah," I said, taking her hand, "you have become a genuine woman. The expression of your face has changed, and it has become a fine example of the truth, that even beauty follows the law of living growth from within outward.
"That's well," the old gentleman put in; "our dinner will be rather too plain and substantial for angels' fare. I think thee'll be the better for it though." "I am the better already for your most unexpected kindness, which I now gratefully accept as a stranger. I hope, however, that I may be able to win a more definite and personal regard;" and I handed the old gentleman my card.
Then he looked up, and seeing the sweet compassion in her eyes, he could no longer keep the secret of his pain from her. "'Tis 'ee, Marty," he said. "Thee'll never want I there's others 'ee'll like better. 'Tisn't for I to say a word about that, I'm thinking, for I be just nothing. An' an' I be going away from the village, Marty, and I'll never come back no more." "Oh, Johnnie, don't 'ee say it!
"Well, we will not talk about thee any more; if thee walked all that distance thee must be very tired and we'll let thee rest. There's thy bed. I hope thee'll have a good night's rest, and feel better in the morning." "Thankee marm," said Moses, "you's mighty good." "Oh no, but I always like to do my duty by my fellow men! Now, be quiet, and get a good night's sleep. Thee looks excited.
Though he did not know it, the girl vacillated. "At least I'm not frightened of Phil," was her thought. "Well," called the man more loudly, "art going to keep me here all night?" "Hush!" whispered Janice. "Thee'll wake " "Belike I will," he retorted irritably. "And if they ask me what 's in the wind, they shall have the truth. Odd's life! I'm not a man to be fooled by a chit of a girl."
Thou art so grand and so noble! If folks only knew thee better they would wonder at thee fur puttin' up wi' me. I wish I could make thee a better wife. But, Jim, if I ain't very strong, I'm pretty good at contrivin', an' I don't believe but what I can manage so's to git along a'most as well as them that's tougher." "Git along? O' course thee'll git along," answered Jim patronizingly.
Shell git eout o' conceit with thy ways thee ain't the pootiest-mannered feller a gal ever see an' thee'll git eout o' conceit with hern. Thee'll think she's a-gittin' stuck up, an' she'll think thee's a-gittin'low-minded. Neow, Jim, my 'dvice is good; an' ef thee'll take it, an' not go on with this thing no furder, thee'll both be glad on it arterwa'ds.
I understood the effort thee was making, and I think Emily did. A good conscience ought to make thee sleep well." I laughed very bitterly as I said, "My conscience is gutta-percha to- night, through and through, but please say no more, or I'll have to shock you again. I'll be in a better mood to-morrow." "Well, good-night. Thee'll excuse a housekeeper on Seventh-day evening.
So well did he manage this, that a marked improvement in the tidiness of the round-house drew some praise from his master. "Thee'll be a sprack man yet, Gearge," said the windmiller, encouragingly. "Thee takes the broom into the corners now." "So I do," said George, unblushingly, "so I do. But lor, Master Lake, what a man you be to notice un!"
"Father may seem to thee a little irreverent, but he doesn't mean to be. It's his way," said his wife, with a smile. "If thee'll come with me I'll show thee to a room where thee can rest and prepare for dinner." I followed her through a wide hall to a stairway that changed its mind when half-way up and turned in an opposite direction.
