He's got no time for visitin' an' gossipin'. Us must keep still a bit an' try to look as if us was grass an' trees an' bushes. Then when he's got used to seein' us I'll chirp a bit an' he'll know us'll not be in his way." Mistress Mary was not at all sure that she knew, as Dickon seemed to, how to try to look like grass and trees and bushes.
It seemed so stuffy, and so dark. "We'll light the lamp," he said. Presently she laughed a little shyly, and asked where she was to sleep. "Lord bless us, you may well ask!" Peer scratched his head. "There's only one bed, you see." At that they both burst out laughing. "The one of us'll have to sleep on the floor," suggested the girl. "Right. The very thing," said he, delighted.
I be Nature's cheel now; an' I be in kindly hands. You caan't understand that, but I knaws what I knaws through bein' taught. Good-by to 'e. Maybe us'll see each other bimebye." Joan held out her hand and Mrs. Tregenza shook it. Then she stood and watched her stepdaughter walk away into Newlyn. The day was cold and unpleasant, with high winds and driving mists.
"Rap to the door quick, dear heart," said Phoebe, "or I'll be cryin' again." "No more rappin' after thicky butivul letter," answered Will. "Us'll gaw straight in." "You walk fust, Phoebe 'tis right you should," declared Mrs. Blanchard. "Then Will can follow 'e; an' me an' Chris us'll walk 'bout for a bit, till you beckons from window." "Cheer up, Phoebe," cried Will.
"And when us sees them coming us'll ask Grandpapa to tell Walters to drive us round to the stable in the pony-carriage," said Duke, jumping up and down in great excitement, quite forgetting his troubles for the moment. But his forgetfulness did not last long. Biddy began looking about the room as if in search of something; she seemed vexed and uneasy.
He says he has been too ill to notice things and he hates going out of doors and hates gardens and gardeners. But he likes to hear about this garden because it is a secret. I daren't tell him much but he said he wanted to see it." "Us'll have him out here sometime for sure," said Dickon. "I could push his carriage well enough.
'Tis very hard this fallin' 'pon a virtuous member like what you be; but 'tedn' a straange tale 'tall. The man was like other men, I doubt; the maid was like other maids. You thot differ'nt. You was wrong; an' you'll be wrong again to break your heart now. Let en go 'tis best." "Let en go! Blast en I'll let heaven go fust! Us'll see what a wronged sawl's patience can do now.
Well, Zoeth, what do you say? Shall we go to Heaven and hunt for her? Maybe 'twill be the only chance some of us'll get, you can't tell," with a wink at Baxter. "Hush, Shadrach! How you do talk!" protested the shocked Mr. Hamilton. "Let's go out to the barn and find the young-one ourselves," said the Captain. "Seems the simplest thing to do, don't it?" Mrs. Hobbs interrupted.
"I'll tell you how we'll work it," I says. "One of us'll be the sheriff of Guadalupe County, back home, with three deputies, bringin' back a prisoner that we've chased across the State. We'll ride up to a ranch an' demand lodgin' for ourselves and prisoner in the name of the State of Texas and say that we'll pay with vouchers on the county in the morning." "No, sir! not fer me," says Martin.
Maybe you pricked him with a bitter word, an' theer, theer, if I ban't standin' up for the chap now! Yet if I've wished un dead wance, I have fifty times since I first heard tell of un. Get to bed. I s'pose us'll knaw his drift come to-morrow." Mr. Lyddon and Billy retired, and both slept ere Will Blanchard's work was done.
