and   as   soon   as   Seth   came   home   in   the   evening   she   put   on   her 

bonnet to go。 It touched Dinah keenly to say the last good´bye�察�and 

still more to look round on her way across   the   fields  and see   the 

old woman still standing at the door�察�gazing after her till she must 

have   been   the   faintest  speck   in   the   dim   aged   eyes。   ^The   God   of 

love and peace be with them�察院�Dinah prayed�察�as she looked   back 

from the last stile。 ^Make them glad according to the days wherein 

thou   hast   afflicted   them�察  �and   the   years   wherein   they   have   seen 

evil。 It is thy will that I should part from them�察�let me have no will 

but thine。 ̄ 

    Lisbeth     turned    into   the   house    at  last  and   sat   down     in  the 

workshop   near  Seth�察  �who   was   busying   himself   there   with   fitting 

some bits of turned wood   he   had brought  from   the   village   into  a 

small work´box�察�which he meant to give to Dinah before she went 

away。 

    ^Thee ¨t see her again o¨ Sunday afore she goes�察院�were her first 

words。 ^If thee wast good for anything�察�thee¨dst make her come in 

again o¨ Sunday night wi¨ thee�察�and see me once more。 ̄ 

    ^Nay�察�Mother�察院�said Seth。 ^Dinah ¨ud be sure to come again if 

she saw right to come。 I should have no need to persuade her。 She 

only thinks it ¨ud be troubling thee for nought�察�just to come in to 

say good´bye over again。 ̄ 

    ^She¨d ne¨er go away�察�I know�察�if   Adam   ¨ud be   fond   on   her an¨

marry   her�察    �but   everything¨s     so   contrairy�察院  �said   Lisbeth�察   �with   a 

burst of vexation。 

    Seth paused a moment and looked up�察�with a slight blush�察�at his 

mother¨s   face。   ^What�  �Has   she   said   anything  o¨   that   sort   to   thee�察�

Mother�拭院�he said�察�in a lower tone。 

    ^Said�拭�Nay�察�she¨ll say nothin¨。 It¨s on¨y the men as have to wait 

till folks say things afore they find ¨em out。 ̄ 

    ^Well�察�but what makes thee think so�察�Mother�拭�What¨s put it into 

thy head�拭院�

    ^It¨s no matter  what¨s   put  it  into  my  head。   My  head¨s  none   so 

hollow  as it  must  get  in�察  �an¨ nought  to  put  it  there。   I   know   she¨s 

fond on him�察�as I know th¨ wind¨s comin¨ in at the door�察�an¨ that¨s 

anoof。 An¨ he might be willin¨ to marry her if he know¨d she¨s fond 

on him�察�but he¨ll ne¨er think on¨t if somebody doesna put it into¨s 

head。 ̄ 

    His   mother¨s   suggestion   about   Dinah¨s   feeling   towards   Adam 

was not quite a new thought to Seth�察�but her last words alarmed 

him�察  �lest   she   should   herself   undertake   to   open   Adam¨s   eyes。   He 

was   not   sure   about   Dinah¨s   feeling�察  �and   he   thought   he  was   sure 

about Adam¨s。 

    ^Nay�察  �Mother�察  �nay�察院  �he   said�察  �earnestly�察   �thee   mustna   think   o¨ 

speaking   o¨   such   things   to   Adam。   Thee¨st   no   right   to   say   what 

Dinah¨s feelings are if she   hasna   told   thee�察  �and it  ¨ud do  nothing 

but mischief to say such things to Adam。 He feels very grateful and 

affectionate toward Dinah�察�but he¨s no thoughts towards her that 

¨ud incline him to make her his wife�察�and I don¨t believe Dinah ¨ud 

marry him either。 I don¨t think she¨ll marry at all。 ̄ 

    ^Eh�察院  �said   Lisbeth�察  �impatiently。   ^Thee   think¨st   so   ¨cause   she 

wouldna ha¨ thee。 She¨ll ne¨er marry thee�察�thee mightst as well like

    Seth    was    hurt。   ^Mother�察院    �he   said�察 �in  a   remonstrating       tone�察�

^don¨t think that of me。 I   should   be as   thankful   t¨   have  her  for  a 

sister   as   thee   wouldst   t¨   have   her   for   a   daughter。   I¨ve   no   more 

thoughts about myself in that thing�察�and I shall take it hard if ever 

thee say¨st it again。 ̄ 

    ^Well�察   �well�察  �then   thee   shouldstna     cross   me    wi¨  sayin¨   things 

arena as I say they are。 ̄ 

    ^But�察�Mother�察院�said Seth�察 �thee¨dst be doing Dinah a wrong by 

telling  Adam   what  thee   think¨st about  her。   It   ¨ud   do   nothing   but 

mischief�察�for it ¨ud make Adam uneasy if he doesna feel the same 

to her。 And I¨m pretty sure he feels nothing o¨ the sort。 ̄ 

    ^Eh�察  �donna   tell me   what   thee   ¨t   sure   on�察  �thee   know¨st   nought 

about it。 What¨s he allays goin¨ to the Poysers¨ for�察�if he didna want 

t¨   see   her�拭  �He   goes   twice   where   he   used   t¨   go   once。   Happen   he 

knowsna as he wants t¨ see her�察�he knowsna as I put salt in¨s broth�察�

but he¨d miss it pretty quick if it warna there。 He¨ll ne¨er think o¨ 

marrying if it isna put into¨s head�察�an¨ if thee¨dst any love for thy 

mother�察�thee¨dst put him up to ¨t an¨ not let her go away out o¨ my 

sight�察�when I might ha¨ her to make a bit o¨ comfort for me afore I 

go to bed to my old man under the white thorn。 ̄ 

    ^Nay�察�Mother�察院�said Seth�察 �thee mustna think me unkind�察�but I 

should   be   going  against   my   conscience   if   I   took   upon   me   to   say 

what Dinah¨s feelings are。 And besides that�察�I think I should give 

offence to Adam by speaking to him at all about  marrying�察�and   I 

counsel   thee   not   to   do   ¨t。   Thee   may¨st   be   quite   deceived   about 

Dinah。 Nay�察�I¨m pretty sure�察�by words she said to me last Sabbath�察�

didna want�察�it ¨ud be done fast enough。 ̄ 

    Lisbeth     rose    from    the  bench     at  this�察  �and   went     out   of  the 

workshop�察  �leaving   Seth   in   much   anxiety   lest   she   should   disturb 

Adam¨s mind about Dinah。 He consoled himself after a time with 

reflecting that�察�since Adam¨s trouble�察�Lisbeth had been very timid 

about  speaking  to  him   on   matters   of  feeling�察  �and   that   she   would 

hardly dare to approach this tenderest of all subjects。 Even if she 

did�察�he hoped Adam would not take much notice of what she said。 

    Seth    was    right   in  believing     that   Lisbeth    would     be   held   in 

restraint by timidity�察�and during the next three days�察�the intervals 

in   which   she   had   an   opportunity   of   speaking   to   Adam   were   too 

rare and short to cause her any strong temptation。 But in her long 

solitary     hours    she   brooded     over    her   regretful    thoughts     about 

Dinah�察�till they had grown very near that point of  unmanageable 

strength   when   thoughts   are   apt   to   take   wing   out   of   their   secret 

nest   in   a   startling   manner。   And   on   Sunday   morning�察  �when   Seth 

went   away   to   chapel   at   Treddleston�察  �the   dangerous   opportunity 

came。 

    Sunday      morning      was    the   happiest     time   in  all  the   week    to 

Lisbeth�察  �for   as   there   was   no   service   at   Hayslope   church   till   the 

afternoon�察�Adam was always at home�察�doing nothing but reading�察�

an    occupation      in   which     she   could    venture     to  interrupt     him。 

Moreover�察  �she   had   always   a   better   dinner   than   usual   to   prepare 

for   her   sons!very   frequently   for   Adam   and   herself   alone�察  �Seth 

being often away the entire day!and the smell of the roast meat 

before   the   clear   fire   in   the   clean   kitchen�察  �the   clock   ticking   in   a 

peaceful Sunday manner�察�her darling Adam seated near her in his 

best   clothes�察  �doing   nothing   very   important�察  �so   that   she   could   go 

and stroke her hand across his hair if she liked�察�and see him look

up at her and smile�察�while Gyp�察�rather jealous�察  �poked   his   muzzle 

up   between   them!all   these   things   made   poor   Lisbeth¨s   earthly 

paradise。 

   The book Adam most often read on a Sunday morning was his 

large pictured Bible�察�and   this morning  it  lay  open before   him   on 

the round white deal table in the kitchen�察�for he sat there in spite 

of the fire�察�because he knew his mother liked to have him with her�察�

and it was the only day in the week when he could indulge her in 

that way。 You would have liked to see Adam reading his Bible。 He 

never opened it on a weekday�察  �and so  he  came   to  it  as   a  holiday 

book�察�serving him for history�察�biography�察�and poetry。 He held one 

hand thrust between his waistcoat buttons�察�and the other ready to 

turn the pages�察�and in the course of the morning you would have 

seen many changes in his face。 Sometimes his lips moved in semi´ 

articulation!it was when he came to a speech that he could fancy 

himself   uttering�察  �such   as   Samuel¨s   dying   speech   to   the    people�察�

then his eyebrows would be raised�察�and the corners of his mouth 

would quiver a little with sad sympathy!something�察�perhaps old 

Isaac¨s meeting with his son�察�touched him closely�察�at other times�察�

over the New Testament�察�a very solemn look would come upon his 

face�察�and he would every now and then shake his head in serious 

assent�察  �or  just  lift  up   his   hand and   let  it  fall again。 And   on some
