"The time'll come when that ole girl'll wish she'd moved o' this town before she ever got appointed monitor of our class! Just you wait!" They waited, but conditions appeared to remain unfavourable indefinitely.
There ain't been as much marrying as there used to be, and half the time they just sneak off to the minister, as if they were ashamed of it, and get married without any wedding or supper. That ain't the King way, though. And so Olivia's gone off at last. She weren't in any hurry but they tell me she's done well. Time'll show."
He suspected my motives evidently, and with a smile he turned to go, reaching the door slowly and then pausing, as if he expected me to call him back, but as I did not he hesitated. "Say, mister," he said, "s'pose anny time'll do for me to bring down the yaller nigger chap?"
Like myself jest let me stan' up afore this here tub an' the wash begins to do itself, unbeknownst like. Don't you idle. Keep peddlin' er patchin', though peddlin's the least lonesome, an' the time'll fly like lightnin'. It's them 'at don't do nothin' 'at don't know what to do. Ain't many them sort in the Lane, though, thank the dear Lord. Hey? What?"
Silas's face got longer than ever. "As a matter o' fact," he ses, "I'm a bit down on my luck, and I called round with the 'ope that Bill could lend me a bit, just till I can pull round." Mrs. Burtenshaw shook her 'ead. "Well, I s'pose I can stay and see 'im?" ses Silas. "Me and 'im used to be great pals at one time, and many's the good turn I've done him. Wot time'll he be 'ome?"

But whether you're up to it, my lad, or not, we don't know and time'll prove " "Time WILL prove," answered Clifford, steadily.
Persis listened unmoved, her rather enigmatic smile suggesting that she clearly foresaw a way out of that difficulty. "I'm not afraid but what I can find enough to keep me busy. Besides, I need a servant girl to look after things when I'm away." "Away? Are you going away?" "I'm going whenever I happen to feel like it. And the first time'll be next week, Monday." "Persis, where are you going?"
All he cared for was to lose his time in his books; and that's the way this man'll do, and leave you to take the brunt of everything. Your time'll go in cookin' and mendin' and washin' up; and you'll have to be at everybody's beck and call at the end o' that. If there's anything I hate, it's to be in the kitchen and parlour both at the same time." Diana was silent.
"If there's a feller crazy enough to hand me ten million dollars and trust me with a job if it was as big as a war between nations I'd never squeal. Can I? Will I? Sure I will. And time'll answer the other for you. Iron guts, eh! I tell you in this thing they're chilled steel." "Good!" Father Adam was smiling.
You can't work and play too. Don't you say anythin' more to Phoebe or me till we get to the pole. What time'll that be?" "About six or half-past, I expect," said Droop, humbly. "But I don't see how I can be workin' all the time. The machine don't need it, an', besides, I've got to eat, haven't I?"
