Even groceries, and a taste of the stuff they sell in town for "bacon ham" to be sniffed at and to become the butt for all the goodwives in the parish no tea, for Mary Lyon knew where that could be got better and cheaper, but a Pilgrim's Progress for a neighbour lad who was known to be fond of the reading and deserved to be encouraged lastly, as a vast secret, a gold wedding-ring which could not be bought without talk in Eden Valley itself.
Gerald was given a moment in which to visualize the situation, before she went on: "I guess, as I said before, that I wasn't in my right mind for a spell; all I could think of was getting home to my own folks, and I was going to do it somehow, though I hadn't a cent. I hadn't even my wedding-ring.
She reached across him, and laid the little box back on the table. "There's another ring I've got for you you'll have to wear, Madelon." "I will wear what I must, for the sake of my promise, when the time comes, but that is all I will do," returned Madelon; and she seemed to feel, as she spoke, the wedding-ring close around her finger like a snake.
No more idea I hadn't than that darling, of being cross when I came home; but somehow, 'Dolphus " Mrs. Tetterby paused, and again turned her wedding-ring round and round upon her finger. "I see!" said Mr. Tetterby. "I understand! My little woman was put out. Hard times, and hard weather, and hard work, make it trying now and then. I see, bless your soul! No wonder! Dolf, my man," continued Mr.
All those dreams about love, and marriage, and of a house of my own, and children, and a cross husband, and a wedding-ring growing always tighter as I grow fatter and older. I have dreamed of such things as other girls do, more perhaps than other girls, more than I should have done. And now I accept the thing as finished.
"He took the pung and went to the Mills for grain." "He hasn't anything in the back of the pung and, oh, Waity! he is standing up now and whipping the horse with all his might. I never saw him drive like that before: what can be the matter? He can't have seen my wedding-ring, and only three people in all the world know about my being married."
To her eyes there was no change; she had grown neither thinner nor paler; she had lost none of the beauty and grace that had won away Sir Victor Catheron's heart. She was very plainly dressed in dark gray of some cheap material, but fitting perfectly; linen bands at neck and throat, and a knot of cherry ribbon. And the slim finger wore no wedding-ring.
You understand you once told me you felt it all, and you went out in search of fortune; but what can a woman do? Still, I dare not tell father. All gaiety was an invention of the devil, according to him. We were married before the registrar Tom had reasons. I cannot tell you them; but we were married," and she held up a thin finger adorned by a wedding-ring.
Look at that ring," she held out her finger, "he's a stranger: he's not my lawful! You know what ye did to me, my dear. Could I get my own wedding-ring back from her? 'No! says she, firm as a rock, 'he said, with this ring I thee wed' I think I see her now, with her pretty eyes and lovesome locks a darlin'! And that ring she'd keep to, come life, came death.
I suppose you expect me to begin by creating a wedding-ring." "Why, you have created me." "Oh, no, no, no. You're a splendid iniquity, but not mine, I vow." "This woman of yours never lived till you made her. I profess Miss Lambourne was ever known for a dull cold thing born 'to suckle fools and chronicle small beer." "So she wrote me down her property. Egad, ma'am, it was very natural."
