and  to  see  her   moving  always   farther   off   as   he   approached。   The 

meadow  was   searched   in   vain�察�and   he   got   over   the   stile   into   the 

next   field�察  �looking   with   dying   hope   towards   a   small   pond   which 

was now reduced to its summer shallowness�察�so as to leave a wide 

margin       of   good    adhesive      mud。     Here�察    �however�察     �sat   Eppie�察�

discoursing cheerfully to her own small boot�察�which she was using 

as a bucket to convey the water into a deep hoof´mark�察�while her 

little   naked   foot   was   planted   comfortably   on   a   cushion   of   olive´ 

green   mud。   A   red´headed   calf   was   observing   her   with   alarmed 

doubt through the opposite hedge。 

    Here     was   clearly   a  case    of  aberration     in  a  christened     child 

which      demanded       severe     treatment�察    �but   Silas�察  �overcome       with 

convulsive joy at finding his treasure again�察�could do nothing but 

snatch her up�察�and cover her with half´sobbing kisses。 It was not 

until   he   had   carried   her   home�察  �and   had   begun   to   think   of   the 

necessary   washing�察  �that   he   recollected   the   need   that   he   should 

punish Eppie�察�and ^make her remember ̄。 The idea that she might 

run   away  again   and   come   to   harm   gave   him   unusual   resolution�察�

and for the first time he determined to try the coal´hole!a small 

closet near the hearth。 

    ^Naughty�察�naughty Eppie�察院�he suddenly began�察�holding her on 

his knee�察�and pointing to her muddy feet and clothes! ̄naughty to 

cut with the scissors and   run   away。   Eppie   must  go  into  the   coal´ 

hole for being naughty。 Daddy must put her in the coal´hole。 ̄

                                Silas Marner                                       175 



    He   half   expected   that   this   would   be   shock   enough�察  �and   that 

Eppie would begin to cry。 But instead of that�察�she began to shake 

herself     on   his  knee�察   �as   if  the  proposition      opened     a  pleasing 

novelty。   Seeing   that   he   must   proceed   to   extremities�察  �he   put   her 

into the coal´hole�察�and held the door closed�察�with a trembling sense 

that   he   was   using   a   strong   measure。   For   a   moment   there        was 

silence�察�but  then   came a little   cry�察   �Opy�察  �Opy� 院  �and   Silas   let   her 

out again�察�saying ^Now Eppie ¨ull never be naughty again�察�else she 

must go in the coal´hole!a black naughty place。 ̄ 

    The weaving must stand still a long while this morning�察�for now 

Eppie must be washed�察�and have clean clothes on�察�but it was to be 

hoped that this punishment would have a lasting effect�察�and save 

time    in   future!though�察       �perhaps�察   �it  would    have    been    better   if 

Eppie had cried more。 

    In half an hour she was clean again�察�and Silas having turned his 

back to see what he could do with the linen band�察�threw it down 

again�察    �with   the   reflection    that   Eppie    would     be   good    without 

fastening for the rest of the morning。 He turned round again�察�and 

was going to place her in her little chair near the loom�察�when she 

peeped   out   at   him   with   black     face   and   hands   again�察  �and     said�察�

^Eppie in de toal´hole� 院�

    This total failure of the coal´hole discipline shook Silas¨s belief 

in   the   efficacy   of  punishment。       ^She¨d     take   it  all  for  fun�察院  �he 

observed   to  Dolly�察   �if  I   didn¨t   hurt   her�察  �and   that   I   can¨t   do�察  �Mrs。 

Winthrop。 If she makes me a bit o¨ trouble�察�I can bear it。 And she¨s 

got no tricks but what she¨ll grow out of。 ̄ 

    ^Well�察    �that¨s    partly     true�察   �Master      Marner�察院     �said    Dolly�察�

sympathetically�察 �and if you can¨t bring your mind to frighten her 

off touching things�察�you must do what you can to keep ¨em out of

her   way。   That¨s   what   I   do   wi¨   the   pups   as   the   lads   are   allays   a´ 

rearing。 They will worry and gnaw!worry and gnaw they will�察�if it 

was one¨s Sunday cap as hung anywhere so as they could drag it。 

They   know   no   difference�察  �God   help   ¨em�此  �it¨s   the   pushing   o¨   the 

teeth as sets ¨em on�察�that¨s what it is。 ̄ 

    So   Eppie   was   reared   without   punishment�察  �the   burden   of   her 

misdeeds   being   borne   vicariously   by   father   Silas。   The   stone   hut 

was made a soft nest for her�察�lined with downy patience�察�and also 

in   the   world   that   lay   beyond   the   stone   hut   she   knew   nothing   of 

frowns and denials。 

    Notwithstanding  the   difficulty  of  carrying   her   and   his   yarn   or 

linen   at   the   same   time�察  �Silas   took   her   with   him   in   most   of   his 

journeys to the farmhouses�察�unwilling to leave her behind at Dolly 

Winthrop¨s�察  �who   was   always   ready   to   take   care   of   her�察  �and   little 

curly´headed        Eppie�察    �the   weaver¨s     child�察  �became      an    object   of 

interest  at  several   outlying   homesteads�察  �as   well   as   in   the   village。 

Hitherto he had been treated very much as if he had been a useful 

gnome       or  brownie!a        queer    and    unaccountable        creature�察   �who 

must      necessarily     be   looked     at   with   wondering       curiosity     and 

repulsion�察�and with whom one would be glad to make all greetings 

and bargains as brief as possible�察�but who must be dealt with in a 

propitiatory       way�察  �and    occasionally      have    a  present     of  pork    or 

garden´stuff       to  carry   home     with    him�察  �seeing    that   without     him 

there was no getting the yarn woven。 But now Silas met with open 

smiling      faces    and    cheerful     questioning�察      �as   a  person      whose 

satisfactions and difficulties could be understood。 Everywhere   he 

must   sit   a   little   and   talk   about   the   child�察  �and   words   of   interest 

were always ready for him�此 �Ah�察�Master Marner�察�you¨ll be lucky if 

she takes the measles soon and easy� 院�or�察 �Why�察�there isn¨t many

lone men ¨ud ha¨ been wishing to take up with a little¨un like that�察�

but   I  reckon     the  weaving   makes       you   handier     than   men    as   do 

outdoor   work!you¨re   partly   as   handy   as   a   woman�察  �for   weaving 

comes   next   to   spinning。 ̄   Elderly   masters   and   mistresses�察  �seated 

observantly in large kitchen armchairs�察�shook their heads over the 

difficulties attendant on rearing children�察�felt Eppie¨s round arms 

and   legs�察  �and   pronounced   them   remarkably   firm�察  �and   told   Silas 

that if she turned out well ��which�察�however�察�there was no telling���察�

it would be a fine thing for him to have a steady lass to do for him 

when he got helpless。 Servant maidens were fond of carrying her 

out to look at the hens and chickens�察�or to see if any cherries could 

be    shaken   down      in  the   orchard�察   �and   the   small   boys    and   girls 

approached her slowly�察�with cautious movement and steady gaze�察�

like little dogs face to face with one of their own kind�察�till attraction 

had reached the point at which the soft lips were put out for a kiss。 

No   child   was   afraid   of   approaching   Silas   when   Eppie   was   near 

him�此�there was no repulsion around him now�察�either for young or 

old�察  �for  the   little child   had  come   to link   him   once   more   with   the 

whole world。 There was love between him and the child that blent 

them     into   one�察  �and   there   was    love  between      the  child   and    the 

world!from   men   and   women   with   parental   looks   and   tones�察  �to 

the red ladybirds and the round pebbles。 

    Silas began now to  think   of  Raveloe   life   entirely  in   relation  to 

Eppie�此�she must have everything that was a good in Raveloe�察�and 

he listened docilely�察�that he might come to understand better what 

this   life   was�察  �from   which   for   fifteen   years   he   had   stood   aloof   as 

from a strange thing�察�wherewith he could have no communion�此�as 

some   man   who   has   a   precious   plant   to   which   he   would   give   a 

nurturing home in a new soil�察�thinks of the rain and the sunshine

and      all  influences       in   relation     to   his   nursling�察     �and    asks 

industriously   for   all   knowledge   that   will   help   him   to   satisfy   the 

wants     of   the  searching      roots�察  �or  to  guard     leaf  and    bud    from 

invading harm。 The disposition to hoard had been utterly crushed 

at   the   very   first   by   the   loss   of   his   long´stored   gold�此  �the   coins   he 

earned      afterwards      seemed     as   irrelevant    as   stones    brought     to 

complete a house suddenly buried by an earthquake�察�the sense of 

bereavement         was    too   heavy     upon     him    for  the    old   thrill  of 

satisfaction   to arise again   at  the   touch  of   the   newly   earned   coin。 

And now something had come to replace his hoard which gave a 

growing       purpose     to   the   earnings�察    �drawing     his   hope    and    joy 

continually onward beyond the money。
