As the moments passed she knew that she had kept him, and at this knowledge her own passion rose until it equalled Toby's. "My love," she whispered. "My dear love." xi Later in the day, when she was able to think of all that had happened, Sally had an unexpected glimpse of the situation. She realised that she was a victor. She was almost too satisfied.
Instead of becoming accustomed to such treatment as he was receiving from his employers, Toby's heart grew more tender with each brutal word, and this last punishment that of losing his supper caused the poor boy more sorrow than blows would. Mr.
Toby's thoughtfulness had made him sleepy, and his eyes were almost closed in slumber, when he was startled by a crashing sound, was conscious of a feeling of being hurled from his seat by some great force, and then he lay senseless by the side of the road, while the wagon became a perfect wreck, from out of which a small army of monkeys was escaping.
As this letter came to hand about six weeks before Susannah's accident, Le Fever was hourly expected; and was uppermost in my uncle Toby's mind all the time my father was giving him and Yorick a description of what kind of a person he would chuse for a preceptor to me: but as my uncle Toby thought my father at first somewhat fanciful in the accomplishments he required, he forbore mentioning Le Fever's name, till the character, by Yorick's inter-position, ending unexpectedly, in one, who should be gentle-tempered, and generous, and good, it impressed the image of Le Fever, and his interest, upon my uncle Toby so forcibly, he rose instantly off his chair; and laying down his pipe, in order to take hold of both my father's hands I beg, brother Shandy, said my uncle Toby, I may recommend poor Le Fever's son to you I beseech you do, added Yorick He has a good heart, said my uncle Toby And a brave one too, an' please your honour, said the corporal.
Nothing in this world could have co-operated more powerfully towards this, than my uncle Toby's blue and gold had not Quantity in some measure been necessary to Grace: in a period of fifteen or sixteen years since they had been made, by a total inactivity in my uncle Toby's life, for he seldom went further than the bowling-green his blue and gold had become so miserably too straight for him, that it was with the utmost difficulty the corporal was able to get him into them; the taking them up at the sleeves, was of no advantage.
"That wa'an't a ranch neither," contradicted Sandy promptly. "It was jest a barn." "Ark," said Toby. "Wal, ark then," admitted Sandy. He didn't mind Toby's interference. But the discussion was allowed to go no further. Bill's impatience manifested itself promptly. "Say, it don't matter a cuss whether it was an ark or a barn or a ranch. Sunny's yarn goes.
And dearest Amelia Booth, on Uncle Toby's arm; and Tittlebat Titmouse, with his hair dyed green; and all the Crummles company of comedians, with the Gil Blas troop; and Sir Roger de Coverley; and the greatest of all crazy gentlemen, the Knight of La Mancha, with his blessed squire? I say to you, I look rather wistfully towards the window, musing upon these people.
Then, with one last tremendous blow, aimed at Toby's head, Augustus threw down the whip, and returned to his pipe. The next morning, as soon as they had started on their journey, Rosalie begged her mother to continue her story.
Toby's story, when at last, hot and tired, he reached the alder bushes, was not nearly so exciting as his partners anticipated. He had clung to the pony until they entered the woods, where he was brushed off by the branches of the trees as easily as if he had been a fly, and with as little damage.
