If she hed lived, thou would varry soon be sending her off to some unlovelike, polite boarding-school, and a few years later thou would make a grand feast, and deck her in satin and lace and jewels and give her as a sacrifice to some man thou knew little about just as the old pagans used to dress up the young heifers with flowers and ribbons before they offered them in blood and flame to Jupiter or the like of him.
Martha was God's child and He took her, and I must say, thou gave her up to Him in a varry grudging way." "Mother, I am going to do better. Forgive me." "Nay, my dear lass, seek thou God's forgiveness and all the rest will come easy. It is against Him, and Him only, thou hast sinned; but He is long-suffering, plenteous in mercy, and ready to forgive."
It was put out at interest on thy first birthday, and I hev added a L100 now and then, as I could see my way clear to do so. Thou hes now L22,000 o' thy own a varry tidy fortune. If ta takes Hallam thou must pay down a' of this to Antony. I'll hev to find t' other L28,000 by a mortgage. Then I shall sell all t' young timber that's wise to sell, and some o' Hallam marsh, to pay off t' mortgage.
You shall have two girls to help you, and Peter Crag shall bring a pony for Harry, and we'll be as happy as never was again! We have had a bit of dark, hard road to go over, but the end of it has come. Thank God!" "It's varry few as find any road through life an easy one; t' road to heaven is by Weeping Cross, Miss Hallam." "I don't know why that should be, Martha.
A carriage was standing there, and a man beside it, who was evidently in anxiety or fright. "Come away wi' you! Don't let folks die waiting for you. Here's a lady be varry near it, I do be thinking." The next moment Martha was helping him to carry into the house a slight, unconscious form.
Do as I tell thee." "Nay, I'll not do it." "Thou nivver will disappoint t' devil, Peggy." Peggy did not answer; she was too much interested in the rector's proceedings. He was actually crossing the road and joining the ladies and the preacher. "Now, then! Dost ta see that, Ezra? Whativer's coming to folk? Why-a! They're a' going on together!" "Why not? T' rector's a varry good man.
"Varry well, then I'll hev to be took up; and if I'm sent to York Castle, thou'lt hev lodgings varry close to me. Mak' up thy mind to that, Bill Laycock." "I didn't kill Clough, and thou can't say I did." Bingley did not answer. He sat munching his bread and casting evil glances every now and then at his wretched entertainer. "What does ta want?"
It seemed to me, though, as varry little fight were made for Ben Clough afore he died; he'd signed a paper, declaring positive as it were Ben who shot him; and t' case were half done when that were said.
T' night as Clough were shot, I had passed his house, and seen Mary Clough at t' garden gate, and she hed been varry scornful, and told me she'd marry Ben Craven, or stay unmarried; and I were feeling bad about it. I thought I'd walk across t' moor and meet Clough, and tell him what Mary said, and as I went along I heard a shot, and saw a man running.
