Yocomb; "she knew that a ride like this in the frosty air would give us an appetite for any kind of a dinner, but it will make hers taste like the Feast of Tabernacles. Let 'em go, Reuben, let 'em go!" "Do you call this a Quaker pace?" asked Miss Warren, who sat with Zillah on the back seat. "Yes, I'm acting just as I feel moved. Thee's much too slow for a Friend, Emily.
"Abigail, there is one thing I must talk to thee about. Friend Speakman's partner, perhaps thee's heard of him, Richard Hilton, has a son who is weakly. He's two or three years younger than Moses. His mother was consumptive, and they're afraid he takes after her.
"Thee's doing very well for a beginner. Keep on keep on," and his genial visage vanished from the doorway. After I had my breakfast, Zillah flitted in and out with her mother two or three times. "Mother says I can look at thee, but I mustn't talk;" and she wouldn't. Then Adah, with her wide-brimmed hat hanging on her arm, brought me a dainty little basket of wild strawberries.
"Forgive me, Mrs. Yocomb. I'm so unmanned, so desperate from trouble, that I'm not fit for decent society, much less your company. You believe in a Providence: why was this woman permitted to enslave my very soul when it was of no use?" "Richard Morton," she said reproachfully, "thee is indeed unmanned. Thee's wholly unjust and unreasonable.
"Thee's bin in main deep," said John, after a slow survey of the other's appearance. The fellow stamped his boot on the ground, and the slime and slush oozed out of it and formed a puddle. "That's pretty stuff to stand in for a man of sixty-four, yent it, John?"
"I would, Gearge, I would!" cried Abel, his eyes sparkling with earnestness. "I can teach thee thy letters, and by the time thee's learned all I know, maybe I'll have been to school again, and learned some more." This was the foundation of a curious kind of friendship between Abel and the miller's man.
"You are mistaken, sir," I said; "I brought Miss Warren back. I thought she would enjoy seeing you feed the poultry, the horses, and especially the cows." "Thee's more self-denying than I'd a been," he resumed, With his humorous twinkle. "Don't tell mother, but I wouldn't mind taking a walk with Emily Warren myself on a June evening like this."
He was very careful not to seem to see that a short quilt, which the old man usually wore over his knees, now lay in a somewhat angular heap upon the table. "Better, I should say, yes, decidedly better," he remarked, nodding his head gravely. "I had nothing to do this afternoon, the neighborhood is very healthy, and thought I would ride down and see how thee's getting on.
"My name is Carpenter," said the friend, "come with me." There was something in the voice, and manner of the friend that assured the stranger. His whole manner changed. A peaceful expression stole over his dark, sad face, and the drooping limbs seemed to be aroused by a new infusion of energy. "Come in," said Thomas, as he reached his door, "come in, thee's welcome to stop and rest with us."
"Then thee's very blind, Richard. I didn't think thee'd say that." "You cut deep now; suppose I must go?" "Why must thee go, just as thee is beginning to gain? Thee is as pale as a ghost this minute, and thee doesn't weigh much more than half as much as I do. Still, we don't want to put an unwelcome constraint on thee."
