When they had walked on for a time, more rapidly than before, the master said, clasping the pupil's arm between the elbow and the shoulder with his hand: 'You were going to tell me something about that person. What did you say his name was? 'Wrayburn. Mr Eugene Wrayburn. He is what they call a barrister, with nothing to do. The first time he came to our old place was when my father was alive.
Mr Wrayburn encourages those notions to make himself of importance, and so she thinks she ought to be grateful to him, and perhaps even likes to be. Now I don't choose her to be grateful to him, or to be grateful to anybody but me, except Mr Headstone. And I tell Mr Wrayburn that if he don't take heed of what I say, it will be worse for her.
"About five minutes' walk that is all, sir." "I never was in Wrayburn much going on here?" "Not much, sir. It is a quiet town." "Mr. Leech Squire Leech, I think you call him was an old schoolmate of mine. We went to the Brandon Academy together. I suppose he is rich, eh?" "He is the richest man in Wrayburn." "I am glad to hear it," said the other, in a tone of satisfaction.
Webb, stung to irritable action, fired into the cholla and the arrowweed thickets. Shot after shot he sent at the man who had disappeared in the maze. "Let him go. Homer.

But if you do need to be; if you do truly feel at heart that you have indeed been towards me what you have called yourself to-night, and that there is nothing for us in this life but separation; then Heaven help you, and Heaven bless you!
