Hodgins explained that this was a present from her eldest son, who had thus appropriated his first earnings to the gratification of his mother.

"I don't care if I do take a pipe. Bring me one, Mr. Hodgins, and one for yourself also, and I will smoke and talk with you awhile, for they seem as natural to each other, as eating and drinking do."
In this way they chatted, until they arrived at the cottage, which Hodgins had just reached by a shorter, but more rugged path. "It is such a lovely afternoon," said Mr. Hopewell, "I believe I will rest in this arbour here awhile, and enjoy the fresh breeze, and the perfume of your honeysuckles and flowers." "Wouldn't a pipe be better, Minister?" said Mr. Slick.

Nodding in friendly recognition, both men gazed at the horse, seeming to understand, and glad to know that he was back.
The squire replied with heat, referring to the case of The Commonwealth versus Hodgins, and the subsequent action of Hodgins versus The Commonwealth for damages. It was very evident that he would be relieved in mind if the case of The Commonwealth versus Blight did simmer down. But there was one obstacle to this programme of forgetting. It was not the constable. Lukens could be quieted easily.
Hodgins, for such was her name, received us with that mixture of respect and ease, which shewed she was accustomed to converse with her superiors. She wore also, a large white apron, and a neat and by no means unbecoming cap.

Give it to her, I hope it is big enough to cover it. And he fell back on the bed, and larfed and coughed, and coughed and larfed, till the tears ran down his cheeks. "Yes," said Mr. Slick, "yes, Squire, this is a pretty cottage of Marm Hodgins; but we have cottages quite as pretty as this, our side of the water, arter all. They are not all like Obi Rafuses, the immigrant.
