She cannot afford to waste brains like yours, while in thousands of reeking alleys, such as that one opposite us, heathens and savages are demanding the rights of citizenship. Whether they be right or wrong, is what you, and such as you, have to find out at this day. Silent and thoughtful, Lancelot walked on by his side. 'What is become of your friend Tregarva?
For there is a bad pleasure happy he who has not felt it in a pitiless reductio ad absurdum, which asks tauntingly, 'Why do you not follow out your own conclusions? instead of thanking God that people do not follow them out, and that their hearts are sounder than their heads. Was it with this feeling that the fancy took possession of him, to show the letter to Tregarva?
He's no more ashamed of it than Read it out, Smith, read it out every word; and let them all hear how this pauper, this ballad-singing vagabond, whom I have bred up to insult me, dares to abuse his own master. 'I have not abused you, sir, answered Tregarva. 'I will be heard, sir! he went on in a voice which made the old man start from his seat and clench his fist but he sat down again.
Tregarva! you have observed a good many things did you ever observe whether the men with the large foreheads were better than the men with the small ones? 'Ay, sir, I know what you are driving at. I've heard of that new- fangled notion of scholars, which, if you'll forgive my plain speaking, expects man's brains to do the work of God's grace. 'But what have you remarked?
There is a revel at Bone-sake, about five miles up the river. Will you go with a discharged gamekeeper? 'I will go with Paul Tregarva, whom I honour and esteem as one of God's own noblemen; who has taught me what a man can be, and what I am not, and Lancelot grasped the keeper's hand warmly. Tregarva brushed his hand across his eyes, and answered,
All the men-servants, grooms, and helpers, were drawn up in line along the wall, and greeted Tregarva, whom they all heartily liked, with sly and sorrowful looks of warning, 'Here, you sir; you , look at this! Is this the way you repay me? I, who have kept you out of the workhouse, treated you like my own child? And then to go and write filthy, rascally, Radical ballads on me and mine!
They're the ones now, ain't they, sir, eh? 'They'll do! 'Well, then, don't say old Harry don't know nothing, that's all, eh? and the old fellow toddled off, peering and twisting his head about like a starling. 'An odd old fellow that, Tregarva, said Lancelot.
I have found it easy enough to see that something is diseased, Tregarva; but to find the medicine first, and to administer it afterwards, is a very different matter. 'Well I suppose the world will never be mended till the day of judgment. 'In plain English, not mended till it is destroyed. Hopeful for the poor world!
What's the use of cutting myself off from sixpenny-worth of pleasure here, and sixpenny-worth there. I'm not saving money for my children, I'm only saving the farmers' rates." There it is, sir, said Tregarva; 'that's the bottom of it, sir, "I'm only saving the farmers' rates. Let us eat and drink, for to- morrow we die!" 'I don't see my way out of it, said Lancelot. 'So says everybody, sir.
The ill-looks of the young girls surprised him much. Here and there smiled a plump rosy face enough; but the majority seemed under-sized, under-fed, utterly wanting in grace, vigour, and what the penny-a-liners call 'rude health. He remarked it to Tregarva. The keeper smiled mournfully. 'You see those little creatures dragging home babies in arms nearly as big as themselves, sir.
