"I don' b'lieve you know heow ter take the turns w'en yer mother a'n't by to help," she continued. "Can't ye take up the heel? Widden ev'ry fourth. Here, let me! You won't? Wal, I alluz knowed you wuz mighty techy, Emerline Ruggles, but ye no need ter fling away in thet style. Neow I'll advise ye ter let socks alone; they're tew intricate fur sech ez you.
One knitter after another would sheathe the spare needle under her apron strings, while they asked each other's advice from time to time about the propriety of "narrerin'" or whether it were not best to "widden" according to the progress their respective stockings had made. Mrs. Thacher had lighted an extra candle, and replenished the fire, for the air was chillier since the sun went down.
It was a position for which Mr. Letts was totally unprepared, and the satisfied smile of Mr. Widden as he took the vacant place by no means improved matters. In a state of considerable dismay Mr. Letts dropped farther and farther behind until, looking up, he saw Miss Foster, attended by her restive escort, quietly waiting for him.
Widden, rebelliously. "It's nothing to do with him," declared Mr. Letts. "And, besides, he's not what I should call a judge of character. I dare say you are all right, but I'm going to see for myself. You go on in the ordinary way with your love-making, without taking any notice of me. Try and forget I'm watching you.
"Co-come with us!" said Mr. Widden, after an astonished pause. Mr. Letts nodded. "You see, I don't know you yet," he explained, "and as head of the family I want to see how you behave yourself. Properly speaking, my consent ought to have been asked before you walked out with her; still, as everybody thought I was drowned, I'll say no more about it." "Mr. Green knows all about me," said Mr.
The regimental doctor, when he came, said it was absolutely necessary to bleed Denisov. A deep saucer of black blood was taken from his hairy arm and only then was he able to relate what had happened to him. "I get there," began Denisov. "'Now then, where's your chief's quarters? They were pointed out. 'Please to wait. 'I've widden twenty miles and have duties to attend to and no time to wait.
"Co-come with us!" said Mr. Widden, after an astonished pause. Mr. Letts nodded. "You see, I don't know you yet," he explained, "and as head of the family I want to see how you behave yourself. Properly speaking, my consent ought to have been asked before you walked out with her; still, as everybody thought I was drowned, I'll say no more about it." "Mr. Green knows all about me," said Mr.
"I stayed behind just to take a stone out of my shoe, and the earth seemed to swallow them up. He's so strong. That's the worst of it." "Strong?" said Mr. Green. Mr. Widden nodded. "Tuesday evening he showed her how he upset a man once and stood him on his head," he said, irritably. "I was what he showed her with." "Stick to it!" counselled Mr. Green again.
Widden a lesson on the following evening, but cautioned him sternly against imitating the display of brotherly fondness of which, in a secluded lane, he had been a wide-eyed observer. "When you've known her as long as I have nineteen years," said Mr. Letts, as the other protested, "things'll be a bit different. I might not be here, for one thing." By exercise of great self-control Mr.
Green, in a condition compounded of joy and rage, was striding violently up and down the room. "He's a fraud!" he shouted. "A fraud! I've had my suspicions for some time, and this evening I got it out of her." Mr. Widden stared in amazement. "I got it out of her," repeated Mr. Green, pointing at the trembling woman. "He's no more her son than what you are." "What?" said the amazed listener.
