To
set
the
mind
of
his
mistress
at
rest
,
he
took
a
sip
(
amounting
in
quantity
to
a
pint
or
thereabouts
)
from
the
stone
bottle
,
and
then
smacked
his
lips
,
winked
his
eye
,
and
nodded
his
head
.
No
doubt
with
the
same
amiable
desire
,
he
immediately
resumed
his
knife
and
fork
,
as
a
practical
assurance
that
the
beer
had
wrought
no
bad
effect
upon
his
appetite
.
The
lady
of
the
caravan
looked
on
approvingly
for
some
time
,
and
then
said
,
‘
Have
you
nearly
finished
?
’
‘
Wery
nigh
,
mum
.
’
And
indeed
,
after
scraping
the
dish
all
round
with
his
knife
and
carrying
the
choice
brown
morsels
to
his
mouth
,
and
after
taking
such
a
scientific
pull
at
the
stone
bottle
that
,
by
degrees
almost
imperceptible
to
the
sight
,
his
head
went
further
and
further
back
until
he
lay
nearly
at
his
full
length
upon
the
ground
,
this
gentleman
declared
himself
quite
disengaged
,
and
came
forth
from
his
retreat
.
‘
I
hope
I
haven
’
t
hurried
you
,
George
,
’
said
his
mistress
,
who
appeared
to
have
a
great
sympathy
with
his
late
pursuit
.
‘
If
you
have
,
’
returned
the
follower
,
wisely
reserving
himself
for
any
favourable
contingency
that
might
occur
,
‘
we
must
make
up
for
it
next
time
,
that
’
s
all
.
’
‘
We
are
not
a
heavy
load
,
George
?
’
‘
That
’
s
always
what
the
ladies
say
,
’
replied
the
man
,
looking
a
long
way
round
,
as
if
he
were
appealing
to
Nature
in
general
against
such
monstrous
propositions
.
‘
If
you
see
a
woman
a
driving
,
you
’
ll
always
perceive
that
she
never
will
keep
her
whip
still
;
the
horse
can
’
t
go
fast
enough
for
her
.
If
cattle
have
got
their
proper
load
,
you
never
can
persuade
a
woman
that
they
’
ll
not
bear
something
more
.
What
is
the
cause
of
this
here
?
’
‘
Would
these
two
travellers
make
much
difference
to
the
horses
,
if
we
took
them
with
us
?
’
asked
his
mistress
,
offering
no
reply
to
the
philosophical
inquiry
,
and
pointing
to
Nell
and
the
old
man
,
who
were
painfully
preparing
to
resume
their
journey
on
foot
.
