And I have often thought, in the event of war with France, how easy 'twould be for Louis's cruisers to harry the place, and an hundred like it, and raise such a terror as to keep the British navy at home." I did not know at the time that this was the inspiration of an admiral and of a genius. The subject waned. And as familiar scenes jogged his memory, he launched into Scotch and reminiscence.
I observed her lookin' partikler admirin' at the handkercher, which was a handsome yellow spot, so I up an' axed her to take a present of it, an' I settled it like an apron in front, to show how iligant 'twould look; an' she was mighty plased, an' curtseyed ever so often, an' Jackey himself gev me the trout out of a big basket he brought in.
"Well, 'twould need a good eddication to tell, but there's only one in his class, I tell you." "Then he owes it to this little woman," pointing to one of the photographs, "and she," pointing to the other, "said so." "Then you may bet it's true." "I don't bet on a sure thing," said the colonel, his annoyance vanishing in a slow smile, his first since reaching the province.
He did it as man to man, and not as a priest, having travelled fifty miles for the purpose. "George Magor," said he, "it's bad, I know, but bear it with the help of God. And be kind to the girl." The old man answered nothing. "My friend," the priest continued, "I hope you'll forgive me for telling you. I thought 'twould be better from me, than to have it thrown at you in the settlement.
"It's wonderful to be back again," remarked Cora. "You have no idea how far away Fern Island is at night." "Oh, dreadful!" exclaimed Belle. "I would have died." "Poor place for dying," put in Ed. "'Twould be like the babes in the wood, and the birdies and the leaves and all that sort of thing. Even to die, Belle, one may do it up in style."
Ann said I must sleep with a bit of it under my pillow to-night, and I would dream of my sweetheart, but that is nonsense." "Yes, 'tis nonsense," said Sara, "but 'tis an old-time fable; thee canst try it, child," she added, smiling, and trying to chase away the girl's look of sadness. "'Twould be folly indeed, for there is no sweetheart for me any more, mother, now that Will is married.
She really wanted to know. "Well, the Courier declares that there ought to be a house-to-house investigation all over London. Just think of it! Everybody to let the police go all over their house, from garret to kitchen, just to see if The Avenger isn't concealed there. Dotty, I calls it! Why, 'twould take us months and months just to do that one job in a town like London."
"'Twould be contrary to human nature if you did." "Human nature!" snapped the miller, with extreme irritation. "'Twould puzzle Solomon to say what's come over human nature of late days." "'Tis a nut wi' a maggot in it," mused Billy: "three parts rotten, the rest sweet. An' all owing to fantastic inventions an' new ways of believin' in God wi'out church-gwaine, as parson said Sunday.
But the little 'uns likes dressing up in their evening frocks, and the buns and lemonade is well enough for their time of life. There used to be a fiddle too, as well as the piano; but the class hev fallen off considerable of late. The management don't like it too well. But there's a notion 'twould be unfeelin' to stop it. She's been carrying it on all these years, and her aunt before her.
Place all done up 'twould mean a lot of work at first, but ... What I was going to say, d'you know if your mother was going to church come Sunday?" "Ay, she said something like it." "Ho!... H'm.
