can¨t do a power to help ¨em�察�not if I was to get up i¨ the middle o¨ 

the   night!it  comes   into   my   head   as   Them   above   has   got   a   deal 

tenderer heart nor what I¨ve got!for I can¨t be anyways better nor 

Them as made me�察�and if anything looks hard to me�察�it¨s because 

there¨s   things   I   don¨t   know   on�察  �and   for   the   matter   o¨   that�察  �there 

may be plenty o¨ things I don¨t know on�察�for it¨s little as I know! 

that it is。 And so�察�while I was thinking o¨ that�察  �you  come into  my 

mind�察  �Master   Marner�察  �and   it   all   come   pouring   in�此  �if   I   felt   i¨   my 

inside   what   was   the     right   and   just   thing   by   you�察 �and    them   as 

prayed   and drawed   the   lots�察 �all but   that   wicked   un�察  �if   they¨d   ha¨ 

done the right thing by you if they could�察�isn¨t there Them as was 

at the making on us�察�and knows better and has a better will�拭�And 

that¨s   all   as   ever   I   can   be   sure   on�察  �and   everything   else   is   a   big 

puzzle to me when I think on it。 For there was the fever come and 

took off them as were full´growed�察  �and left  the   helpless children�察�

and there¨s the breaking o¨ limbs�察�and them as ¨ud do right and be 

sober have to suffer by them as are contrairy!eh�察�there¨s trouble 

i¨   this   world�察  �and   there¨s   things   as   we   can   niver   make    out   the 

rights on。 And all as we¨ve got to do is to trusten�察�Master Marner! 

to do the right thing as fur as we know�察�and to trusten。 For if us as 

knows so little can see a bit o¨ good and rights�察�we may be sure as 

there¨s a good and a rights bigger nor what we can know!I feel it 

i¨ my own inside as it must be so。 And if you could but ha¨ gone on 

trustening�察�Master Marner�察�you wouldn¨t ha¨ run away from your 

fellow´creaturs and been so lone。 ̄ 

    ^Ah�察�but that ¨ud ha¨ been hard�察院�said Silas�察�in an undertone�察 �it 

¨ud ha¨ been hard to trusten then。 ̄ 

    ^And so it would�察院�said Dolly�察�almost with compunction�此 �them 

things     are   easier    said   nor   done�察   �and    I¨m   partly    ashamed       o¨

talking。 ̄ 

    ^Nay�察  �nay�察院  �said      Silas�察  �you¨re     i¨  the  right�察  �Mrs。   Winthrop! 

you¨re i¨ the right。 There¨s good i¨ this world!I¨ve a feeling o¨ that 

now�察�and it makes a man feel as there¨s   a   good   more   nor  he   can 

see�察�i¨ spite o¨ the trouble and the wickedness。 That drawing o¨ the 

lots   is   dark�察  �but   the   child   was   sent   to   me�此  �there¨s   dealings   with 

us!there¨s dealings。 ̄ 

    This   dialogue   took   place   in   Eppie¨s   earlier   years�察  �when   Silas 

had to part with her for two hours every day�察�that she might learn 

to   read   at   the   dame   school�察  �after   he   had   vainly   tried   himself   to 

guide   her  in   that  first step   to   learning。   Now   that   she   was   grown 

up�察�Silas had often been led�察�in those moments of quiet outpouring 

which   come   to   people   who   live   together   in   perfect   love�察  �to   talk 

with her too  of   the  past�察  �and   how  and   why  he  had lived a lonely 

man      until   she   had   been    sent    to  him。   For    it  would    have    been 

impossible   for  him  to  hide   from   Eppie   that   she   was   not   his   own 

child�此�even if the most delicate reticence on the point could have 

been     expected      from   Raveloe      gossips    in  her    presence�察    �her   own 

questions   about  her  mother   could   not   have   been   parried�察  �as   she 

grew up�察�without that complete shrouding of the past which would 

have   made   a   painful   barrier   between   their   minds。   So   Eppie   had 

long known how her mother had died on the snowy  ground�察�and 

how she herself had been found on the hearth by father Silas�察�who 

had   taken   her   golden   curls   for   his   lost   guineas   brought   back   to 

him。 The tender and peculiar love with which Silas had reared her 

in   almost   inseparable   companionship   with   himself�察  �aided   by   the 

seclusion   of  their  dwelling�察  �had   preserved   her   from   the   lowering 

influences of the village talk and habits�察�and had kept her mind in 

that    freshness      which     is  sometimes       falsely   supposed       to  be   an

invariable attribute of rusticity。 Perfect love has a breath of poetry 

which can exalt the relations of the least´instructed human beings�察�

and   this   breath   of   poetry   had   surrounded   Eppie   from   the   time 

when   she   had      followed    the   bright   gleam     that   beckoned     her   to 

Silas¨s hearth�察�so that it is not surprising if�察�in other things besides 

her    delicate    prettiness�察    �she   was    not   quite    a  common       village 

maiden�察  �but   had   a   touch   of   refinement   and   fervour   which   came 

from no other teaching than that of  tenderly nurtured   unvitiated 

feeling。   She   was   too   childish   and   simple   for   her   imagination   to 

rove into questions about her unknown father�察�for a long while it 

did not even occur to her that she must have had a father�察�and the 

first   time   that   the   idea   of  her   mother     having     had   a  husband 

presented itself   to   her   was   when   Silas   showed   her   the   wedding´ 

ring which had been taken from the wasted finger�察�and had been 

carefully preserved by him in a little lacquered box shaped like a 

shoe。   He   delivered   this   box     into   Eppie¨s    charge    when   she     had 

grown up�察�and she often opened it to look at the ring�察�but still she 

thought hardly at all about the father of whom it was the symbol。 

Had she not a father very close to her�察�who loved her better than 

any real fathers in the village seemed to love their daughters�拭�On 

the contrary�察�who her mother was�察�and how she came to die in that 

forlornness�察  �were   questions   that   often   pressed   on   Eppie¨s   mind。 

Her knowledge of Mrs。 Winthrop�察�who was her nearest friend next 

to Silas�察�made her feel that a mother must be very  precious�察 �and 

she   had   again   and   again   asked   Silas   to   tell   her   how   her   mother 

looked�察�whom she was like�察�and how he had found her against the 

furze     bush�察   �led    towards     it  by    the   little   footsteps    and     the 

outstretched       arms。     The    furze    bush    was    there    still�察 �and   this 

afternoon�察  �when   Eppie   came   out   with   Silas   into   the   sunshine�察  �it

was the first object that arrested her eyes and thoughts。 

    ^Father�察院�she said�察�in a tone of gentle gravity�察�which sometimes 

came   like   a   sadder�察  �slower   cadence   across   her   playfulness�察   �we 

shall take the furze bush into the garden�察�it¨ll come into the corner�察�

and just against  it  I¨ll   put  snowdrops and   crocuses�察   �cause Aaron 

says they won¨t die out�察�but¨ll always get more and more。 ̄ 

    ^Ah�察  �child�察院  �said   Silas�察  �always   ready   to   talk   when   he   had   his 

pipe   in   his   hand�察  �apparently   enjoying   the   pauses   more   than   the 

puffs�察    �it   wouldn¨t   do   to   leave  out   the   furze   bush�察  �and    there¨s 

nothing prettier to my thinking�察�when it¨s yallow with flowers。 But 

it¨s just come into my head what we¨re to do for a fence!mayhap 

Aaron can help us to a thought�察�but a fence we must have�察�else the 

donkeys and things ¨ull come and trample everything  down。   And 

fencing¨s hard to be got at�察�by what I can make out。 ̄ 

    ^Oh�察    �I¨ll  tell  you�察 �daddy�察院    �said    Eppie�察   �clasping     her   hands 

suddenly�察  �after   a   minute¨s   thought。   ^There¨s   lots   o¨   loose   stones 

about�察  �some   of   ¨em   not   big�察  �and   we   might   lay   ¨em   atop   of   one 

another�察  �and make   a   wall。   You   and   me   could   carry   the   smallest�察�

and Aaron ¨ud carry the rest!I know he would。 ̄ 

    ^Eh�察�my precious un�察院�said Silas�察 �there isn¨t enough stones to 

go all round�察�and as for you carrying�察�why�察�wi¨ your little arms you 

couldn¨t   carry   a   stone   no   bigger   than   a   turnip。   You¨re   dillicate 

made�察�my dear�察院�he added�察�with a tender intonation! ̄that¨s what 

Mrs。 Winthrop says。 ̄ 

    ^Oh�察  �I¨m   stronger   than   you   think�察  �daddy�察院  �said   Eppie�察   �and   if 

there wasn¨t stones enough to go all round�察�why�察�they¨ll go part o¨ 

the way�察�and then it¨ll be easier to get sticks and things for the rest。
