'Tes certain sure there's lots would never go, ef 'twasn't so mortial hard on the land. 'Tisn't a bare livin', after that. An' they're put upon, right and left they're put upon. 'Tes only a man here and there that 'as something in 'im too strong. I widden never 'ave stayed in the country ef 'twasn't that I couldn't stand the town life.
When I came to myself, and saw the bare, whitewashed walls of the hospital, the foreign nurses moving about very kind and tender they were, too, but 'twasn't Morva Garthowen slopes, Morva, the mill and the moor had all gone, and when I saw where I was, what will you think of me, Sara, when I tell you I cried like a little child, like I did the day when I tore myself away from little Morva long ago, when I ran away from home, and heard her calling after me, 'Gethin!
'Can't help it, said Harold. 'Please, Betsey, let me have the sixpence; I'll pay you faithfully to-morrow! 'Ay! that's always the way. Never come in unless ye want somewhat. 'Twasn't the way your poor father went on! He'd a civil word for every one. Well, and can't you stop a minute to say how your poor brother is? 'Much the same, said Harold impatiently.

Tell him to coom back; the Province'll fergive him." "And the company?" asked Bruce. "Partners both dead. Died poor. No. 'Twasn't the loss of thet money. They had many losses.
"It was very kind of you to bring my little girl home last night and she and I have come to thank you for doing it." Jed was more embarrassed than ever. "Sho, sho!" he protested; "'twasn't anything." "Oh, yes, it was; it was a great deal. I was getting very worried, almost frightened. She had been gone ever since luncheon dinner, I mean and I had no idea where.

Stalky described the affair, and when he left Mullins went off to take counsel with the Head, who, out of a cloud of blue smoke, told him that all would yet be well. 'Winton, said he, 'is a little stiff in his moral joints. He'll get over that.
There's men 'd fight shy o' staying 'round here." "Well, it doesn't worry us. We didn't suppose there was any one around here, though, and we wondered who it was we heard shooting last night and we are glad to find out. Did you get any big alligators?" "'Twasn't me shootin'. I didn't shoot las' night. Say! You've gotter look out! I know them fellers. One on 'em's bad and you boys ain't safe.
Rose married Osh Fuller, a worthless, drunken fellow. He died in a year or so and left Rose and her baby without a roof over their heads. Then old Palmer went and brought her home. He set great store by Rose and he c'dn't bear Min. Min had to be civil to Rose as long as old Palmer lived. Fin'lly Rod up and died and 'twasn't long before his father went too.
