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 

mornings�察�when he read in the Apocrypha�察�of which he  was  very 

fond�察   �the   son   of   Sirach¨s    keen´edged      words    would     bring   a 

delighted      smile�察   �though     he    also   enjoyed     the    freedom      of 

occasionally differing from an Apocryphal writer。 For Adam knew 

the Articles quite well�察�as became a good churchman。 

   Lisbeth�察  �in   the   pauses   of   attending   to   her   dinner�察  �always   sat 

opposite   to   him   and   watched   him�察  �till   she   could   rest   no   longer

                                    Adam Bede                                      655 



without     going    up   to  him    and   giving    him   a  caress�察   �to  call  his 

attention      to  her。    This   morning       he   was    reading     the   Gospel 

according to St。 Matthew�察�and Lisbeth had been standing close by 

him for some minutes�察�stroking his hair�察�which was smoother than 

usual this morning�察�and looking down at the large page with silent 

wonderment   at        the   mystery    of  letters。   She   was    encouraged      to 

continue   this   caress�察  �because   when   she   first   went   up   to   him�察  �he 

had thrown himself back in his chair to look at her affectionately 

and say�察 �Why�察�Mother�察�thee look¨st rare and hearty this morning。 

Eh�察  �Gyp   wants   me   t¨   look   at   him。   He   can¨t   abide   to   think   I   love 

thee the best。 ̄ Lisbeth said nothing�察�because she wanted to say so 

many things。 And now there was a new leaf to be turned over�察�and 

it was a picture!that of the angel seated on   the   great  stone  that 

has   been   rolled   away   from   the   sepulchre。   This   picture   had   one 

strong      association     in   Lisbeth¨s     memory�察      �for   she   had     been 

reminded of it when she first saw Dinah�察�and Adam had no sooner 

turned the page�察�and lifted the book sideways that they might look 

at the angel�察�than she said�察 �That¨s her!that¨s Dinah。 ̄ 

    Adam   smiled�察  �and�察  �looking   more   intently   at   the   angel¨s   face�察�

said�察 �It is a bit like her�察�but Dinah¨s prettier�察�I think。 ̄ 

    ^Well�察  �then�察  �if   thee   think¨st   her   so   pretty�察  �why   arn¨t   fond   on 

her�拭院�

    Adam looked up in   surprise。   ^Why�察  �Mother�察  �dost  think   I   don¨t 

set store by Dinah�拭院�

    ^Nay�察院�said Lisbeth�察�frightened at her own courage�察�yet feeling 

that she had broken the ice�察  �and  the   waters   must  flow�察  �whatever 

mischief they might do。 ^What¨s th¨ use o¨ settin¨ store by things as 

are    thirty   mile    off�拭  �If  thee   wast    fond    enough     on   her�察  �thee 

wouldstna let her go away。 ̄

    ^But I¨ve no right t¨ hinder her�察�if she thinks well�察院�said Adam�察�

looking at his book as if he wanted to go on reading。 He foresaw a 

series of complaints tending to nothing。 Lisbeth sat down again in 

the chair opposite to him�察�as she said�此�

    ^But    she   wouldna      think   well   if  thee   wastna     so  contrairy。 ̄ 

Lisbeth dared not venture beyond a vague phrase yet。 

    ^Contrairy�察     �mother�拭院    �Adam     said�察  �looking    up   again   in  some 

anxiety。 ^What have I done�拭�What dost mean�拭院�

    ^Why�察�thee¨t never look at nothin¨�察�nor think o¨ nothin¨�察�but thy 

figurin�察  �an¨   thy   work�察院  �said   Lisbeth�察  �half´crying。   ^An¨   dost   think 

thee   canst   go   on   so   all   thy   life�察  �as   if   thee   wast   a   man   cut   out   o¨ 

timber�拭�An¨ what wut do when thy mother¨s gone�察�an¨ nobody  to 

take care on thee as thee gett¨st a bit o¨ victual comfortable i¨ the 

mornin¨�拭院�

    ^What hast got i¨ thy mind�察�Mother�拭院�said Adam�察�vexed at this 

whimpering。 ^I canna see what thee¨t driving at。 Is there anything 

I could do for thee as I don¨t do�拭院�

    ^Aye�察   �an¨   that   there   is。  Thee    might¨st    do   as   I  should    ha¨ 

somebody   wi¨   me   to   comfort   me   a   bit�察  �an¨   wait   on   me   when   I¨m 

bad�察�an¨ be good to me。 ̄ 

    ^Well�察�Mother�察�whose fault is it there isna some tidy body i¨ th¨ 

house t¨ help thee�拭�It isna by my wish as thee hast a stroke o¨ work 

to   do。   We   can   afford   it!I¨ve   told   thee   often   enough。   It   ¨ud   be   a 

deal better for us。 ̄ 

    ^Eh�察�what¨s the use o¨ talking o¨ tidy bodies�察�when thee mean¨st 

one o¨ th¨ wenches out o¨ th¨ village�察�or somebody from Treddles¨on 

as I ne¨er set eyes on i¨ my life�拭�I¨d sooner make a shift an¨ get into 

my own coffin afore I die�察�nor ha¨ them folks to put me in。 ̄

utmost   severity   he   could   show   towards   his   mother   on   a   Sunday 

morning。 But Lisbeth had gone too far now to check herself�察�and 

after scarcely a minute¨s quietness she began again。 

    ^Thee mightst know well enough who ¨tis I¨d like t¨ ha¨ wi¨ me。 

It   isna   many   folks   I   send   for   t¨   come   an¨   see   me。   I   reckon。   An¨ 

thee¨st had the fetchin¨ on her times enow。 ̄ 

    ^Thee mean¨st Dinah�察�Mother�察�I know�察院�said Adam。 ^But it¨s no 

use setting thy mind on   what  can¨t  be。   If  Dinah  ¨ud   be  willing  to 

stay at Hayslope�察�it isn¨t likely she can come away from her aunt¨s 

house�察�where they hold her like a daughter�察�and where she¨s more 

bound      than   she   is  to   us。  If  it  had  been  so  that   she  could    ha¨ 

married Seth�察�that ¨ud ha¨ been a great blessing to us�察�but we can¨t 

have things just as we like in this life。 Thee must try and make up 

thy mind to do without her。 ̄ 

    ^Nay�察�but I canna ma¨ up my mind�察�when she¨s just cut out for 

thee�察�an¨ nought shall ma¨ me believe as God didna make her an¨ 

send   her   there   o¨   purpose   for   thee。   What¨s   it   sinnify   about   her 

bein¨ a Methody� �It ¨ud happen wear out on her wi¨ marryin¨。 ̄ 

   Adam threw himself back in his chair and looked at his mother。 

He     understood      now    what    she   had    been    aiming     at  from    the 

beginning        of   the    conversation。       It   was     as    unreasonable�察�

impracticable a wish as she had ever urged�察�but he could not help 

being moved by so entirely new an idea。 The chief point�察�however�察�

was to chase away the notion from his mother¨s mind as quickly as 

possible。 

    ^Mother�察院  �he   said�察  �gravely�察   �thee   ¨t   talking   wild。   Don¨t   let   me 

hear thee say such things  again。 It¨s   no  good   talking  o¨   what can 

never   be。   Dinah¨s   not   for   marrying�察  �she¨s   fixed     her   heart   on   a 

different sort o¨ life。 ̄

    ^Very like�察院�said Lisbeth�察�impatiently�察 �very like she¨s none for 

marr¨ing�察�when them as she¨d be willin¨ t¨ marry wonna ax her。 I 

shouldna ha¨ been for marr¨ing thy feyther if he¨d ne¨er axed me�察�

an¨ she¨s as fond o¨ thee as e¨er I war o¨ Thias�察�poor fellow。 ̄ 

    The   blood   rushed   to   Adam¨s   face�察  �and   for   a   few   moments   he 

was not quite conscious where he was。 His mother and the kitchen 

had vanished for him�察�and he saw nothing but Dinah¨s face turned 

up   towards   his。   It   seemed   as   if   there   were   a   resurrection   of   his 

dead     joy。  But   he  woke    up   very   speedily   from    that   dream    ��the 

waking was chill and sad���察�for it  would   have been   very  foolish  in 

him to believe his mother¨s words!she could have no ground for 

them。   He   was   prompted   to   express   his   disbelief   very   strongly! 

perhaps that he might call forth the proofs�察�if there were any to be 

offered。 

    ^What   dost   say   such   things   for�察  �Mother�察  �when   thee¨st   got   no 

foundation for ¨em�拭�Thee know¨st nothing as gives thee a right to 

say that。 ̄ 

    ^Then I knowna nought as gi¨es me a right to say as the year¨s 

turned�察�for all I feel it fust thing when I get up i¨ th¨ morning。 She 

isna fond o¨ Seth�察�I reckon�察�is she�拭�She doesna want to marry him�拭�

But I can see as she doesna behave tow¨rt thee as she daes tow¨rt 

Seth。 She makes no more o¨ Seth¨s coming a´nigh her nor if he war 

Gyp�察�but she¨s all of a tremble when thee ¨t a´sittin¨ down by her at 

breakfast   an¨   a´looking   at   her。   Thee   think¨st   thy   mother   knows 

nought�察�but she war alive afore thee wast born。 ̄ 

    ^But thee canstna be sure as the trembling means  love�拭院  �said 

Adam anxiously。

should she do but love thee�拭�Thee¨t made to be loved!for where¨s
