'Hark! exclaimed Berenger; 'this must be seen to. 'Have a care, returned Mericour; 'I have heard that a man needs look twice are meddling. Scarcely hearing, Berenger strode on as he had done at the last village wake, when he had rescued Cis of the Down from the impertinence of a Dorchester scrivener.
To Cis this passage between the men was all pure agony. She dropped down beside Grandpa's chair, and stayed there, half hidden. But it was not misery for Johnnie. He had rightly guessed what the "rakin'" would be, and for whom. And now it was going forward, and he welcomed it. It was then that it came over him how different was this newest friend from his other two!
And as to people, we shall just hold up our heads; I think that they generally take you at your own valuation. But, anyway, Society does not much matter. We shan't want those who don't want us you may be sure. I hope he will divorce her quickly there is nobody much to be hurt by that except you and Cis; but if he doesn't it can't be helped.
He said, any way you might ride to see an old comrade." "A long message for two carriers," said Richard Talbot, smiling, "but Martin never was a scribe!" "But, sir, you will let me go," cried Humfrey, eagerly. "I mean, I pray you to let me go. Dear mother, say nought against it," entreated the youth.

If he does, what a burden will be lifted off your shoulders!"

And if Grandpa and me called her that, Big Tom'd think we was wastin' time, or tryin' t' be stylish, and he hates ev'rything that's stylish I don't know why. So round the flat, for ev'ry day, we call her Cis C-i-s." "Well, Miss Narcissa is right about me," said Mr. Perkins.
For the next quarter of an hour, the patient needed all her attention, and there was no possibility of obeying the summons of a great clanging bell which announced dinner. When, however, Cis had fallen asleep it became possible to think over the situation.
