I
see
you
are
getting
tired
and
stupid
,
Ben
,
"
said
Mrs
.
Garth
,
accustomed
to
these
obstructive
arguments
from
her
male
offspring
.
Having
finished
her
pies
,
she
moved
towards
the
clothes
-
horse
,
and
said
,
"
Come
here
and
tell
me
the
story
I
told
you
on
Wednesday
,
about
Cincinnatus
.
"
"
I
know
!
he
was
a
farmer
,
"
said
Ben
.
"
Now
,
Ben
,
he
was
a
Roman
—
let
ME
tell
,
"
said
Letty
,
using
her
elbow
contentiously
.
"
You
silly
thing
,
he
was
a
Roman
farmer
,
and
he
was
ploughing
.
"
"
Yes
,
but
before
that
—
that
didn
’
t
come
first
—
people
wanted
him
,
"
said
Letty
.
"
Well
,
but
you
must
say
what
sort
of
a
man
he
was
first
,
"
insisted
Ben
.
"
He
was
a
wise
man
,
like
my
father
,
and
that
made
the
people
want
his
advice
.
And
he
was
a
brave
man
,
and
could
fight
.
And
so
could
my
father
—
couldn
’
t
he
,
mother
?
"
"
Now
,
Ben
,
let
me
tell
the
story
straight
on
,
as
mother
told
it
us
,
"
said
Letty
,
frowning
.
"
Please
,
mother
,
tell
Ben
not
to
speak
.
"
"
Letty
,
I
am
ashamed
of
you
,
"
said
her
mother
,
wringing
out
the
caps
from
the
tub
.
"
When
your
brother
began
,
you
ought
to
have
waited
to
see
if
he
could
not
tell
the
story
.
How
rude
you
look
,
pushing
and
frowning
,
as
if
you
wanted
to
conquer
with
your
elbows
!
Cincinnatus
,
I
am
sure
,
would
have
been
sorry
to
see
his
daughter
behave
so
.
"
(
Mrs
.
Garth
delivered
this
awful
sentence
with
much
majesty
of
enunciation
,
and
Letty
felt
that
between
repressed
volubility
and
general
disesteem
,
that
of
the
Romans
inclusive
,
life
was
already
a
painful
affair
.
)
"
Now
,
Ben
.
"
"
Well
—
oh
—
well
—
why
,
there
was
a
great
deal
of
fighting
,
and
they
were
all
blockheads
,
and
—
I
can
’
t
tell
it
just
how
you
told
it
—
but
they
wanted
a
man
to
be
captain
and
king
and
everything
—
