I know because I know father and I know myself. I'm like him I've just found it out. I've got those same things in me, and they'll do for me if I don't get the better of them. Grandfather told me he was the same. All the Westcotts " He bent over the bed and took her hand and kissed it. "Mother, dear I know father has been frightening you all this time terrifying you. And you were all alone.
There is a fold where no wolves enter; a country where a loving heart shall not find its own love turned into poison; a place where the wicked cease from troubling yes, even in this heretical day, let us be orthodox enough to believe that there is a land where no Smith Westcotts ever come. There are many cases in which it were better to die. It is easy enough to say it before it comes.
Peter's no ordinary mortal I wonder, now and again, whether Clare's worth it all." But this year seemed to silence all her fears. The happiness of that little house shone through Chelsea. "Oh, we're dining with the Westcotts to-night they'll cheer us up they're always so happy" "Oh! did you see Clare Westcott? I never saw any one so radiant."
Westcott, standing with the apples on every side of him, flung monstrous shadows upon the wall "This used to be your room. I remember I used to whip you here when you were disobedient. The only way to bring up your child. The Westcotts have always believed in it. Dear me, how long ago it all seems ... you can have this room again if you like. Any room in the house you please.
The Westcotts lived in the parish of the strange wild clergyman whose church looked over the sea; strange and wild in the eyes of Treliss because he was a giant in size and had a long flowing beard, because he kept a perfect menagerie of animals in his little house by the church, and because he talked in such an odd wild way about God being in the sea and the earth rather than in the hearts of the Treliss citizens all these things odd enough and sometimes, early in the morning, he might be seen, mother-naked, going down the path to the sea to bathe, which was hardly decent considering his great size and the immediate neighbourhood of the high road.
Just like me and then it'll be your turn, my boy. Oh, they Westcotts!... Oh! my pains! Oh! my pains!... Oh! I'm a poor old man! poor old man!" His head sunk beneath the cushions again and his muttering died away like a kettle when the lid has been put on to it. Peter had been kneeling so as to catch his grandfather's words. Now he drew himself up and with frowning brows faced the room.
Poor wind that blows no whar. I'll bet a right smart pile I'll pack the little gal off yet." But if an inscrutable Providence had omitted to make any Smith Westcotts, Dave Sawney wouldn't have stood the ghost of a chance with Katy. His supreme self-complacency gave her no occasion to pity him. Her love was close of kin to her tender-heartedness, and all pity was wasted on Dave.
He remembered a sentence out of a strange novel of Dostoieffsky's that he had once read, "The Brothers Karamazoff": "It's a feature of the Karamazoffs ... that thirst for life regardless of everything " and the Karamazoffs were of a sensual, debased stock rotten at the base of them with an old drunken buffoon of a father yes, that was like the Westcotts.
With this realisation came a knowledge of other things of things half heard at the office, of half looks in the street, of a deliberate avoidance of his father's name the Westcotts of Scaw House! There were clouds about the name. But his father, in contact with Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Agatha, was strangely impressive.
"Foes who will hang you in your own halter strap; Jan Howart's Tories the same that burned the Westcotts in their cabin a fortnight since. Will your horse take that barricade, think you?" "Aye, standing, if need be." "Then at them, in God's name. Charge!" It needed but the word and we were in the thick of it.
