She was almost a woman now, and he wanted her to get the finishing touches of education that would prepare her for a position in the world if she met the man she felt she could marry. Whenever he would speak of marriage Peg would laugh scornfully: "Who would I be of AFTHER marryin' I'd like to know? Where in the wurrld would I find a man like you?"
Yet o' coorse 'tain't to be expected as Passon would send for the town-crier from Riversford to ring a bell through the village an' say as 'ow he 'adn't nothin' to dp with Miss Vancourt nor she with 'im. Onny the worst of it is that in this wurrld lies is allus taken for truth since the beginnin', when the Sarpint told the first big whopper in the Garden of Eden an' took in poor silly Eve.
"Pray, Doctor Larnder," says a spiteful genlmn, willing to keep up the littery conversation, "what is the Cabinet Cyclopaedia?" "It's the littherary wontherr of the wurrld," says he; "and sure your lordship must have seen it; the latther numbers ispicially cheap as durrt, bound in gleezed calico, six shillings a vollum.
Kape yer life an' yer heart clane until the one man in all the wurrld comes to ye with HIS heart pure too, and then ye'll know what rale happiness means." She knelt down beside the sobbing girl and took Ethel in her arms, and tried to comfort her. "Sure, then, cry dear, and wash away all the sins of this night.
Peg thought she detected a note of sarcasm. She turned on him fiercely: "I know I do. There isn't a man in the whole wurrld like me father. Not a man in the wurrld. But he says he's a rollin' stone and they don't amount to much in a hard-hearted wurrld that's all for makin' dollars." "Your father is right," agreed Jerry. "Money is the standard to-day and we're all valued by it."
It's well named ye are. It's the ministering angel ye've been down here to the people and to me." "Don't talk any more now. Rest" "REST, is it? With all the throuble in the wurrld beatin' in me brain and throbbin' in me heart?" "Try and sleep until the doctor comes to-night." He lay back and closed his eyes. Angela sat perfectly still. In a few minutes he opened them again.
I tell ye if there was more honesty in this wurrld there wouldn't be half the sin in it, that there wouldn't." "Really " began Ethel "Let US be honest with each other, Ethel," and Peg went right over to her and looked at her compassionately. "What do ye mean?" said Ethel with a sudden contraction of her breath. "You like Mr. Brent, don't ye?" So! the moment had come.
He turned to his mother, shrugged his shoulders and said: "I give it up! That's all I can say! I simply give it up!" Peg grasped the full meaning of Ethel's words: "And will ye have nothin' if I go away?" Peg paused: Ethel did not speak. Peg persisted: "Tell me are ye ralely dependin' on ME? Spake to me. Because if ye are, I won't go. I'll stay with ye. I wouldn't see ye beggars for the wurrld.
When they reached the bottom of the stairs, Ethel stopped Peg and entreated: "Don't go!" "I must. There's nothin' in the wurrld 'ud kape me here now. Nothin'!" "I'll drive with you to the station. May I?" asked Ethel. "All right, dear." Peg crossed over to Mrs. Chichester: "Good-bye, aunt. I'm sorry I've been such a throuble to ye."
As he did so another kick made him stagger to his feet gasping with pain. A gorilla-faced constable greeted him with a savage grin. "Phwat d'ye mane, ye blayguard, indaycently exposing yersilf in this parrt av th' doomane? Oi've as good a moind as iver a man had in the wurrld to run yez in. Can't ye find anither place to unthdress yersilf in, ye low vaygrant?" Ned did not answer.
