"I am quite willing to abandon my position in his favor, now," said Lummox with alacrity. "No," said Dan'l, rubbing his chin argumentatively; "the only way for us to do is to circumvent him like in a hoss trade with suthin' unexpected. When he thinks you're goin' to sleep in the shafts you'll run away; and when he think's I'm vicious I'll let a woman or a child drive me."
I could do with another pair of trousers, too; but I will not press the trousers. A new hat, is, however, essential. Mine has a six-inch hole in it."

"What do you think's bin happening?
In the display window of the goldsmith across the road, a great cow of silver has made its appearance, a handsome breeder that the local farmers stop to admire. "She's too smart for my crags," says one of them with a laugh. "What do you think's her price?" says another with a laugh. "Why, do you want to buy her?" "No, haven't got fodder enough this year."
The unexpected reappearance of their young banking acquaintance sent her scurrying as fast as her palsied legs could carry her back to the kitchen, where her husband sat luxuriously smoking and toasting his feet at the roaring little stove.

The latter remark was addressed to Mugford, who suddenly jumped on a form, began to dance, fell off into the coal-box, scrambled to his feet, and capered wildly round the room. "He's gone mad!" cried Diggory; "catch him, and sit on his head!" "No, I haven't!" exclaimed Mugford, coming to a standstill; "but what do you think's happened? Guess!" "Not that you're going to stay on here!" "Yes!
Both laughed gruffly, while a loiterer or two, just passing in or out the swing doors, who had stopped to listen, joined in. "The thing 't really is so," observed one of these with his hand on the door, "is that they're a-goin' to have a church. It's so, Bill! Ground was broke for it to-day, and I've seen the plan, and who do you think's goin' to boss the job?" "Who?

I think I and my mother will be very glad to know you. We have come to live here in half of Mr. Stephen White's house." "Merry, merry? Nobody calls me merry. That's a mistake, child, mistake, mistake. Mistake about the house, too, mistake. Stephen White hasn't any house, no, no, hasn't any house. My name's Wheeler, Wheeler. Good enough name.

Think o' him gushin' out all this soft-solder to fool some poor girl."

"David, you and I shall have to go and look for him," said Doctor Joe quietly. "Andy, you and the other lads build a fire outside as a guide. Get your supper, and don't worry until we return."
