^Yes�察�I did�察�I heard ¨em�察院�said Silas�察�to whom Sunday bells were
a mere accident of the day�察�and not part of its sacredness。 There
had been no bells in Lantern Yard。
^Dear heart� 院�said Dolly�察�pausing before she spoke again。 ^But
what a pity it is you should work of a Sunday�察 �and not clean
yourself!if you didn¨t go to church�察 �for if you¨d a roasting bit�察 �it
might be as you couldn¨t leave it�察�being a lone man。 But there¨s the

bakehus�察�if you could make up your mind to spend a twopence on
the oven now and then!not every week�察 �in course!I shouldn¨t
like to do that myself!you might carry your bit o¨ dinner there�察�for
it¨s nothing but right to have a bit o¨ summat hot of a Sunday�察�and
not to make it as you can¨t know your dinner from Saturday。 But
now�察 �upo¨ Christmas Day�察 �this blessed Christmas as is ever
coming�察�if you was to take your dinner to the bakehus�察�and go to
church�察�and see the holly and the yew�察�and hear the anthim�察�and
then take the sacramem¨�察 �you¨d be a deal the better�察 �and you¨d
know which end you stood on�察 �and you could put your trust i¨
Them as knows better nor we do�察�seein¨ you¨d ha¨ done what it lies
on us all to do。 ̄
Dolly¨s exhortation�察 �which was an unusually long effort of
speech for her�察�was uttered in the soothing�察�persuasive tone with
which she would have tried to prevail on a sick man to take his
medicine�察�or a basin of gruel for which he had no appetite。 Silas
had never before been closely urged on the point of his absence
from church�察 �which had only been thought of as a part of his
general queerness�察 �and he was too direct and simple to evade
Dolly¨s appeal。
^Nay�察�nay�察院�he said�察 �I know nothing o¨ church。 I¨ve never been
to church。 ̄
^No� 院�said Dolly�察�in a low tone of wonderment。 Then bethinking
herself of Silas¨s advent from an unknown country�察 �she said�察�
^Could it ha¨ been as they¨d no church where you was born�拭院�
^Oh yes�察院�said Silas meditatively�察�sitting in his usual posture of
leaning on his knees�察 �and supporting his head。 ^There was
churches!a many!it was a big town。 But I knew nothing of
¨em!I went to chapel。 ̄

Dolly was much puzzled at this new word�察�but she was rather
afraid of inquiring further�察�lest ^chapel ̄ might mean some haunt
of wickedness。 After a little thought she said!^Well�察 �Master
Marner�察 �it¨s niver too late to turn over a new leaf�察 �and if you¨ve
niver had no church�察�there¨s no telling the good it¨ll do you。 For I
feel so set up and comfortable as niver was�察 �when I¨ve been and
heard the prayers�察�and the singing to the praise and glory o¨ God�察�
as Mr。 Macey gives out!and Mr。 Crackenthorp saying good
words�察 �and more partic¨lar on Sacramen¨ Day�察 �and if a bit o¨
trouble comes�察�I feel as I can put up wi¨ it�察�for I¨ve looked for help i¨
the right quarter�察�and gev myself up to Them as we must all give
ourselves up to at the last�察�and if we¨n done our part�察�it isn¨t to be
believed as Them as are above us ¨ull be worse nor we are�察 �and
come short o¨ Their¨n。 ̄
Poor Dolly¨s exposition of her simple Raveloe theology fell
rather unmeaningly on Silas¨s ears�察 �for there was no word in it
that could rouse a memory of what he had known as religion�察�and
his comprehension was quite baffled by the plural pronoun�察�which
was no heresy of Dolly¨s�察 �but only her way of avoiding a
presumptuous familiarity。 He remained silent�察�not feeling inclined
to assent to the part of Dolly¨s speech which he fully understood!
her recommendation that he should go to church。 Indeed�察 �Silas
was so unaccustomed to talk beyond the brief questions and
answers necessary for the transaction of his simple business�察�that
words did not easily come to him without the urgency of a distinct
purpose。
But now little Aaron�察�having become used to the weaver¨s awful
presence�察�had advanced to his mother¨s side�察�and Silas�察�seeming to
notice him for the first time�察�tried to return Dolly¨s signs of good

will by offering the lad a bit of lard´cake。 Aaron shrank back a
little�察�and rubbed his head against his mother¨s shoulder�察�but still
thought the piece of cake worth the risk of putting his hand out for
it。
^Oh�察�for shame�察�Aaron� 院�said his mother�察�taking him on her lap�察�
however�察 �why�察 �you don¨t want cake again yet awhile。!He¨s
wonderful hearty�察院�she went on�察�with a little sigh! ̄that he is�察�God
knows。 He¨s my youngest�察�and we spoil him sadly�察�for either me or
the father must allays hev him in our sight!that we must。 ̄
She stroked Aaron¨s brown head�察 �and thought it must do
Master Marner good to see such a ^picture of a child ̄。 But
Marner�察 �on the other side of the hearth�察 �saw the neat´featured�察�
rosy face as a mere dim round�察�with two dark spots in it。
^And he¨s got a voice like a bird!you wouldn¨t think�察院 �Dolly
went on�察 �he can sing a Christmas carril as his father¨s taught him�察�
and I take it for a token as he¨ll come to good�察�as he can learn the
good tunes so quick。 Come�察�Aaron�察�stan¨ up and sing the carril to
Master Marner�察�come。 ̄
Aaron replied by rubbing his forehead against his mother¨s
shoulder。
^Oh�察�that¨s naughty�察院�said Dolly gently。 ^Stan¨ up�察�when mother
tells you�察�and let me hold the cake till you¨ve done。 ̄
Aaron was not indisposed to display his talents�察�even to an ogre�察�
under protecting circumstances�察 �and after a few more signs of
coyness�察�consisting chiefly in rubbing the backs of his hands over
his eyes�察�and then peeping between them at Master Marner�察�to see
if he looked anxious for the ^carril ̄�察�he at length allowed his head
to be duly adjusted�察�and standing behind the table�察�which let him
appear above it only as far as his broad frill�察�so that he looked like

a cherubic head untroubled with a body�察 �he began with a clear
chirp�察 �and in a melody that had the rhythm of an industrious
hammer!
^God rest you�察�merry gentlemen�察�Let nothing you dismay�察 �For
Jesus Christ our Saviour Was born on Christmas Day。 ̄
Dolly listened with a devout look�察 �glancing at Marner in some
confidence that this strain would help to allure him to church。
^That¨s Christmas music�察院 �she said�察 �when Aaron had ended�察�
and had secured his piece of cake again。 ^There¨s no other music
equil to the Christmas music!¨Hark the erol angils sing。¨ And you
may judge what it is at church�察�Master Marner�察�with the bassoon
and the voices�察 �as you can¨t help thinking you¨ve got to a better
place a¨ready!for I wouldn¨t speak ill o¨ this world�察 �seeing as
Them put us in it as knows best!but what wi¨ the drink�察�and the
quarrelling�察�and the bad illnesses�察�and the hard dying�察�as I¨ve seen
times and times�察�one¨s thankful to hear of a better。 The boy sings
pretty�察�don¨t he�察�Master Marner�拭院�
^Yes�察院�said Silas�察�absently�察 �very pretty。 ̄
The Christmas carol�察 �with its hammer´like rhythm�察 �had fallen
on his ears as strange music�察�quite unlike a hymn�察�and could have
none of the effect Dolly contemplated。 But he wanted to show her
that he was grateful�察�and the only mode that occurred to him was
to offer Aaron a bit more cake。
^Oh�察�no�察�thank you�察�Master Marner�察院�said Dolly�察�holding down
Aaron¨s willing hands。 ^We must be going home now。 And so I
wish you good´bye�察�Master Marner�察 �and if you ever feel anyways
bad in your inside�察 �as you can¨t fend for yourself�察 �I¨ll come and
clean up for you�察�and get you a bit o¨ victual�察�and willing。 But I beg
and pray of you to leave off weaving of a Sunday�察�for it¨s bad for

soul and body!and the money as comes i¨ that way ¨ull be a bad
bed to lie down on at the last�察�if it doesn¨t fly away�察�nobody knows
where�察 �like the white frost。 And you¨ll excuse me being that free
with you�察 �Master Marner�察 �for I wish you well!I do。 Make your
