Son, that night she come as nigh beggin me to git you to marry her as a proud girl could, an when I left I promised her I would talk to you about it. She's a good girl, Toot, and it would make a man of you to marry her. I like her mighty well an so does yore mother. Please do come out home soon. It looks like a pity for you to be away so much when it worries yore ma like it does.

"I'm not lookin' for trouble, but I'm not runnin' away from it," returned Webb evenly.
"Oh, good! We may perhaps have you for a neighbour after all." Hadria tried to avoid Professor Theobald, but he was not easily avoided. She frequently met him in her walks. The return of spring had tempted her to resume her old habit of rising with the sun. But she found, what she had feared, that her strength had departed, and she was fatigued instead of invigorated, as of yore.
But not while you got the benefit of my brains they won't know as much as we do. 'Tain't possibil." "And what did you bite me for?" pursued Swing, disregarding the slur. "Hell's bells, if you'd bit Luke I wouldn't have a word to say, but why pick on me?" "Well, you bumped my head so hard I saw sparks, so we're even. Say, stop squallin' about yore hand!
