'Liars indeed! said Eliza, 'I won't demean myself talking to you. 'How's Mrs Wigson? said Robert, 'and DID you keep it up last night? The mouth of the housemaid fell open. 'Did you doss with Maria or Emily? asked Cyril. 'How did Mrs Prosser enjoy herself? asked Jane. 'Forbear, said Cyril, 'they've had enough.

After a time he found himself comparing notes with her as to that far-off crisis of his running away. 'I suppose you heard somehow about Jim Wigson and me? he asked her, his pulse quickening after all these years. She nodded with a little grin.

The servant-girl took advantage of the loud cross-fire of talk which immediately rose at the bar round Jim Wigson to run to a corner window and lift the blind. The boy was sitting on a heap of stones for mending the road, looking at the inn. Other passers-by had come in, attracted by the row, and the girl slipped out unperceived, opened the side door, and ran across the road.

'Now, luke here, she said, bending down to him. 'Yo jes go whoam. Wigson, he'll be out direckly, an he'll do yo a hurt iv he finds yo. Coom, I'll put yo i' the way for Kinder. And before he could gather his will to resist, she had dragged him up with her strong countrywoman's arms and was leading him along the road to the entrance of the lane he had come by.

It's a sin to be discontented I've tellt yo so many times. 'They've got scones and rhubarb jam for tea! cried the child, tumbling the news out as though she were bursting with it. 'Mrs. Wigson, she's allus makin em nice things. She's kind, she is she's nice she wouldn't make em eat stuff like this she'd give it to the pigs 'at she would!

He started with astonishment when he saw David. 'Hullo, Davy, what are yo after? David turned, nearly losing his balance as he did so, and clutching at the bar for support. He found himself confronted with Jim Wigson his old enemy who had been to Castleton with a load of hay and some calves, and was on his way back to Kinder again.

Jim Wigson! the coarse, ignorant lout with whom he had been, more or less, at feud since his first day in Kinder, whom he had despised with all the strength of his young vanity. By to-morrow all Kinder would know, and all Kinder would laugh. 'What! yo whopped Reuben Grieve's nevvy, Jim? Wal, an a good thing, too!

'Eh it's been nobbut raggy weather up o' the moors this winter, Davy, an' a great lot o' sheep lost. Nobbut twothrey o' mine, I thank th' Lord. But in the midst of a most unflattering account of the later morals and development of the Wigson family, Reuben stopped dead short, with a stare at the door. 'Wal, aa niver! theer's Mr. Ancrum hissel, I do uphowd yo!

They want sixpence farthin, but Annie Wigson says yo could bate 'em a bit. But what's t' use? she added, with a sudden savage darkening of her bright look 'she'd tak it away. The tone gave Reuben a shock. But he did not rebuke it. For the first time he and Louie were conspirators in the same plot. 'No, no, I'd see to 'at.

He did what he could, said she would recover oh, yes, she would recover; but, of course, she could never be the same woman again. Her working days were done. A servant came over from Wigsons' to sit up with Reuben, Mrs. Wigson being too delicate to undertake it. The girl went to lie down first for an hour or two in the room across the landing, and he was left alone in the gaunt room with his wife.
