    ^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
