The boy stared at him a moment, and then, leaning his head on a chair, he began to cry. Sitting thus, crouched together, he looked like a child. "Why, Natty, what's the trouble?" asked his uncle alarmed.
He did draw back from the outstretched hands, however, while he put a question or two. "Please, sir, will the parish be good to her?" he asked. "Much better than you."

"Then you encumber yourself with me from abstract duty. Personally you distrust me." The truth seemed best. I bowed. He thought this over. "Then I refuse to go," he decided quietly. "I refuse." And he bowed toward the door to put a period to our interview. But here my patience broke. I took him by the arm, and held him ungently. "Words! Words! Words!" I mocked at him.

"I did not think myself so rude, Myles. Pr'ythee forgive me, cousin. Nay, look not so ungently upon me! Here's my hand on 't I am sorry."

"All right, Marty, all right. I'm not so wet as I look. I'll change my coat, and come in to supper in one minute. Don't you fidget about me so, good Marty." Never was Stephen heard to speak discourteously or even ungently to a human being. It would have offended his taste. It was not a matter of principle with him, not at all: he hardly ever thought of things in that light.
