It's no use your askin' me why a man three-parts blind should want to visit the Land's End. There's an attraction about that place, an' that's all you can say. Everybody knows as 'tisn' worth seein', an' yet everybody wants to see it. So why not a blind man?
But, as I was sayin', the parish church 'll be needed to-morrow, an' so you'd best set to and clean out the edifice: for I'm thinkin'," he added, "it'll be needin' that." "To be sure, St. Piran dear, we'll humour ye." "'Tisn' that at all," the saint answered; "but I've had a vision." "Don't you often?" "H'm! but this was a peculiar vision; or maybe a bit of a birdeen whispered it into my ear.
Your table's been spread this hour, an' at last I was forced to ask some o' the young folks if you was dead or no." "Why should I be dead more than another?" "Well, well in the midst o' life, we're told. 'Tisn' only the ripe apples that the wind scatters. He that comes by your side to-day is but twin-brother to him that came wi' you the first time I mind 'ee, seemin' but yesterday.
But no, and no, and no! You may guess till you're tired you may be sure in your heart; but it's all no good without that little word you'll never get from me." "You shall speak!" Lizzie shrugged her shoulders and picked up the candle. "Simme," she said, "you'd best go back to your carriage and horses. My li'l boy's in the next room, tryin' to sleep; and 'tisn' fit he heard much of this."
Half doubting his eyesight, he stooped to examine them. Around each keg was bound a sling of rope. "Rope?" muttered Mr. Jope, stooping. "Foreign rope left-handed rope " And with that of a sudden he sat down on the nearest keg and began to laugh. "The old varmint! the darned old sinful methodeerin' varmint!" "Oh, stow it, Ben! 'Tisn' manly." But still the unnatural laughter continued.
His eyes looked away over the blue spires of the lupins to the naked hillside. They saw neither the hillside nor anything between. When he spoke his voice was thick, almost as though he were in love or intoxicated. "I knaw what yo mane about those thorn-trees. 'Tisn' no earthly beauty what yo see in 'em." "Jim," she said, "shall I always see it?" "I dawn knaw.
"Oh, my poor Mary my poor, dear Mary!" "'Tisn' so bad as all that," says Jim, as soothing as he could; but he thought it best to tell nothing about the rumpus. "If 'tis on the wings of an eagle, I must fly to her!" cries the Parson, and he hurried indoors and called out for a chaise and pair.
Captain Cai pulled off his hat. "I hope you find your husband none the worse for the voyage? though, to be sure, 'tisn' fair on him nor on any seamen, the way some folks reproaches us when we get back home." Mrs Tregaskis dropped a curtsey. "But be sure, sir what reproaches?"
'Tisn' the wood you pick up that's neither here nor there but the money you're takin' out of folks' pockets. Didn' you know that?" "No, sir." "Your grandfather knows it, anyway not," went on the Elder with sudden anger in his voice, "that Sam Tregenza cares what folks he robs!" He pulled himself up, slightly ashamed of this outburst.
"'Tisn' no proper light here," said my father, fumbling with the packet, and not caring to own that he could not read. "Come to the house, honest man, and we'll talk it over; for thou'lt sleep with us, no doubt?" "Ay, and drink to your apple-trees too," the trooper answered very heartily.
