"I do it, thee knows, to set the children an example. Good-by now; mother will make thee as hearty as I am if thee'll mind her." "Oh, I'm well enough to see everybody to-day," I said with emphasis, and I imagine that Mrs. Yocomb gave as definite a meaning to my indefinite term as I did.
I have learned that I was becoming my own worst enemy, and so must plead guilty of folly." "Well, thee doesn't look as if thee had sinned away thy day of grace yet. If thee'll take roast-beef and common-sense as thy medicine, thee'll see my years and vigor." "Richard Morton," said his wife, with a gentle gravity, "never let any one make thee believe that thee has sinned away thy day of grace."
"It's not for work I'm come," said he; "but to hire a few tools, if you're minded to spare them." Joel scratched his head. "Might manage that, now. But, Lord bless 'ee! thee'll never make no hand of it." He chose out saw, hammer, plane and auger, and packed them up in a carpenter's frail, with a few other tools. "Don't 'ee talk about payment, now; naybors must be nayborly.
"He may as well take the mill, too. If father is away all summer it will be useless ever to start it again. Thee'll see, mother, how it will end, if Walter Evesham has the custom and the water all summer. I think it's miserable for a young man to be so keen about money."

And then John Dent broke into such a paroxysm of despair, that one by one his comforters quitted the cottage. They, strong bold men, who feared none of the evils of life, became feeble as children before the awful face of Death.
"Yes, I remember that. Thank Heaven I drifted into this quiet harbor before the storm came. I should have died in New York." "Well, thee knows where to come now when thee's going to have another bad turn. I hope, however, that thee'll be too good a man to overwork so again. Now thee's talked enough." "Can I not see Mr. Yocomb, and and Miss Warren this evening?" "No, not till to-morrow.
It was as if it had awakened in a fit of delirium, and given itself up to a wild travesty of its years of peaceful work. Shep was creeping about in the darkness. "Look here! We've got to stop this clatter somehow. The stones are hot now. The whole thing'll burn up like tinder if we can't chock her wheels." "Shep! Does thee mean it?" "Thee'll see if I don't. Thee won't need any lantern either."
Gethin hurried towards them, relieving them of the heavy basket which they were carrying between them. "Thee'll have enough to do if thee'st going to help the women folk here," said Will. "He's been in foreign parts," said a reaper, "and learnt manners, ye see." "Yes," said another, "that polish will soon wear off."
'Many a one is carried off to the wars, or to the tenders o' men-o'-war; and then they turn out to be unfit for service, and are sent home. Philip 'll come back before the year's out; thee'll see that. 'No; he'll niver come back. And I'm not sure as I should iver wish him t' come back, if I could but know what was gone wi' him.
Truly this was the day of fate! "Homely people" indeed! and what cared I for "fare" in the very hour of destiny!
