'Will drink your lordship's health there, anyway." He skipped away up the road towards Tregarrick. In the opposite direction young Mr. and Mrs. Trudgian could be seen just passing out of sight, he supporting her with his arm, pausing every now and then, bending over her uxoriously. "'Erbert 'Enery Bates!" "Wot cheer!"
Haydon "did not care to expose his son to the temptations which beset young men at the Universities" this was the very text and preferred to keep him under his own eye in the seclusion of Tregarrick. To a young man who is being shielded from temptation in a small provincial town there usually happens one of two things. Either he takes to drink or to discreditable essays in love-making.
She looked astonished, and answered, "No: he was a do-nothing fellow unless you counted it hard work to drive a carrier's van thrice a week into Tregarrick, and home the same night. But he kept very steady, and had a name for good nature." Next day the man was in his garden at the same hour, and repeated the performance.
"'Schoolmaster, said he, 'I've a trifling favour to beg of ye. You give the children a half-holiday, Saturdays hey? Well, d'ye think ye could drive the brown hoss, Trumpeter, into Tregarrick this afternoon?

You see it, hey?" and I had time to read the hour on its dial before Boutigo jolted us over the ridge and out of sight of it "Well, carry them two things in your mind: for they mazed Dan'l Best an' murdered his brother Hughie."
In the days of my childhood, and up to the year 1886, the Justices of the Peace for the Gantick Division of Hundred of Powder, in the county of Cornwall, held their Petty Sessions at Scawns, a bleak, foursquare building set on the knap of a windy hill, close beside the high road that leads up from the sea to the market town of Tregarrick.
Here's luck to 'ee, Susan Warne!" he piped out, addressing one of the women; "an' if you want a name for your seventh, you may christen 'en after the engine here, the Wonder of the Age."
