Belcher's credit let it be said that he respected her as much as he wished her to honor him. For an hour after breakfast, Mr. Belcher was occupied in his library, with his agent, in the transaction of his daily business.
Squarely before the door stood Mr. Belcher's grays, and in Mr. Belcher's wagon sat Mr. Belcher's man, Phipps. Phipps was making the most of his position. He was proud of his horses, proud of his clothes, proud of the whip he was carelessly snapping, proud of belonging to Mr. Belcher.
Wales come in, glance her way, and then call his wife out, she knew at once what had happened, and begun to tremble she knew perfectly what Mr. Wales was saying out there. It was this: "That little limb has driven home all Neighbor Belcher's cows instead of ours; what's going to be done with her?" She knew what the answer would be, too. Mrs. Polly was a peremptory woman.
The first time was when he looked back to find Buck, whom they had left at home, thinking he would stay under the house on such a day, following very close behind the buggy. "Might as well let him come on," said the boy. The second time was when they came in sight of Belcher's store, dim yonder through the swirling snow. Then he looked up into his mother's face.
The rod itself worked on a slide, and could be shortened or extended to vary the trajectory, and the exercise it entailed in one way and another had given Miss Belcher's cheeks a fine healthy glow. "Whew!" she exclaimed, tucking the bat under her arm and wiping her forehead with a loose end of her yellow bandana.
"Yis, he's in this room, and he's a settin' there by you, an' he's been a stannin' where I stan' now." "How do you know that this is the same man who used to visit you in the woods, and who invented Mr. Belcher's machines?" "Well, it's a long story. I don't mind tellin' on it, if it wouldn't be too triflin'," with a comical wink at Mr. Cavendish. "Go on and tell it," said Mr. Balfour.

Many times before, at Tom Belcher's store, at the Hunt Club, at country fairs, strangers had stopped thus to talk to him, had asked him who he was, where he lived, if his dog would bite. Many times before such strangers had smiled down into his upturned face. "We got lots of things in the car," the man was saying, "apples, peaches, circus things. We been to a circus. Did you see the lady?"
Under the influence of these, the man went out from her presence, flattered to his heart's core, and with his admiration of her self-contained and prudent passion more exalted than ever. Mr. Belcher went directly home, and into Mrs. Belcher's room. That good lady was alone, quietly reading. The children had retired, and she was spending her time after her custom.
Then the little tailoress went away, wondering when the mischief would reveal itself, but sure that it would appear in good time. In good time that is, in Mr. Belcher's good time it did appear. To comprehend the excitement that followed, it must be remembered that the people of Sevenoaks had the most implicit confidence in Mr. Belcher's business sagacity.
