After having given sufficient time, as he said, "for the first o' the squall to blow over," he summarily snubbed his pipe, put it into his vest pocket, and re-entered. "Now, missus, you'll excuse me, ma'am, for cuttin' in atween you, but this business o' the Leathers is pressin', an' if we are to hold a confabulation wi' the family about it, why "
As the letter was a pretty long one it took him a considerable time to do all this; then it suddenly occurred to him that he had been thus selfishly keeping it all to himself instead of sharing it with his father, so he started up and hastened back to the village, where he found old Mr Ellice in earnest confabulation with the pastor of the place.
For reasons, however, which we at this subsequent period can appreciate, this confabulation could not last for aye, and when, finally, little Martha trotted back homeward Lawrence bethought himself it was high time to reconnoiter the immediate scene of action within his house. He found a group of servants huddled about the door.
'That's right, my dear, don't you mind him, said Mrs Boffin, 'stick to me. Well! Then we sits down, gradually gets cool, and holds a confabulation.
Paul Hubbard, who had come down from the ironworks with thirty men or more, presently drew Abner aside and said: "See here. It won't do to wait round any longer. We must start. They're losing all their grit standing here and thinking it over." But the confabulation was interrupted by a cry of panic from Obadiah Weeks: "Golly, here come the slectmen!"

Only it would be dangerous to call the wanderer by name, for then he would not only waken where he was, but he would collapse frequently and fall headlong with fright if he found himself on a height.

"Certainly, my boy, till you've had enough. After that it's wrong to eat at all. `Enough's as good as a feast, you know.
