Folk ca'd him a weirdless cratur and a ne'er-do-weel; and when he fell in wi' Tibby Crawford, some o' them said, if they were her, they wouldna tak him, and ithers leugh at him for drawin up wi' an auld hizzie like her; but Tibby took Andrew, and Andrew took Tibby's advice; and noo they've a haudin o' their ain, wi' plenty o' baith meat and claes, and three bonny bairns into the bargain."
It would have been such fun!" "You mischievous little thing!" said his mother, pretending to scold him, "you don't think what trouble you would have given Tibby!" "But wouldn't it have been fun? And wouldn't it have been lovely running through the house all the hot summer day?" "There may be a difference of opinion about that, Master Willie," said his mother.
Dickson, in a new suit with a flower in his buttonhole, looks none the worse for his travels, save that there is still sticking-plaster on his deeply sunburnt brow. He waits impatiently with his eye on the black marble timepiece, and he fingers something in his pocket. Presently the sound of wheels is heard, and the pea-hen voice of Tibby announces the arrival of Penelope.
But he already felt that Howards End was the objective, and, though he disliked the house, was determined to defend it. Tibby, on the other hand, had no opinions. He stood above the conventions: his sister had a right to do what she thought right.
Everyone in the household, although the baby Tibby was twelve years old, still called the pleasant room on the second floor at the back of the house, the "nursery." Mrs.

There are moments when the inner life actually "pays," when years of self-scrutiny, conducted for no ulterior motive, are suddenly of practical use. Such moments are still rare in the West; that they come at all promises a fairer future.
"That every morning for three weeks. No wonder Tibby was wild." "Tibby is moderately a dear now," said Helen. "There! I knew you'd say that in the end. Of course he's a dear." A bell rang. "Listen! what's that?" Helen said, "Perhaps the Wilcoxes are beginning the siege." "What nonsense listen!"
