"I was very glad to see it again." "I ha'n't seen it in a great while. I've been staying to hum this year or two. I got tired o' going out," Cynthy remarked, with again a smile very peculiar, and, Fleda thought, a little sardonical. She did not know how to answer. "Well, how do you come along down yonder?" Cynthy went on, making a great fuss with the shovel and tongs to very little purpose.
Benham's voice sounded slightly sardonical. "How can anything depend upon a weathercock?" "Well, there's a chance, isn't there, that the weather may decide it?" "Perhaps. In the way that the Governor will find to his advantage." Benham had leaned slightly forward, and his face looked very attractive by the shimmering flame of the candles.
