The
maltster
being
rather
short
of
breath
,
Mr
.
Coggan
,
after
absently
scrutinising
a
coal
which
had
fallen
among
the
ashes
,
took
up
the
narrative
,
with
a
private
twirl
of
his
eye
:
—
"
Well
,
now
,
you
’
d
hardly
believe
it
,
but
that
man
—
our
Miss
Everdene
’
s
father
—
was
one
of
the
ficklest
husbands
alive
,
after
a
while
.
Understand
?
’
a
didn
’
t
want
to
be
fickle
,
but
he
couldn
’
t
help
it
.
The
pore
feller
were
faithful
and
true
enough
to
her
in
his
wish
,
but
his
heart
would
rove
,
do
what
he
would
.
He
spoke
to
me
in
real
tribulation
about
it
once
.
’
Coggan
,
’
he
said
,
’
I
could
never
wish
for
a
handsomer
woman
than
I
’
ve
got
,
but
feeling
she
’
s
ticketed
as
my
lawful
wife
,
I
can
’
t
help
my
wicked
heart
wandering
,
do
what
I
will
.
’
But
at
last
I
believe
he
cured
it
by
making
her
take
off
her
wedding
-
ring
and
calling
her
by
her
maiden
name
as
they
sat
together
after
the
shop
was
shut
,
and
so
’
a
would
get
to
fancy
she
was
only
his
sweetheart
,
and
not
married
to
him
at
all
.
And
as
soon
as
he
could
thoroughly
fancy
he
was
doing
wrong
and
committing
the
seventh
,
’
a
got
to
like
her
as
well
as
ever
,
and
they
lived
on
a
perfect
picture
of
mutel
love
.
"
"
Well
,
’
twas
a
most
ungodly
remedy
,
"
murmured
Joseph
Poorgrass
;
"
but
we
ought
to
feel
deep
cheerfulness
that
a
happy
Providence
kept
it
from
being
any
worse
.
You
see
,
he
might
have
gone
the
bad
road
and
given
his
eyes
to
unlawfulness
entirely
—
yes
,
gross
unlawfulness
,
so
to
say
it
.
"
"
You
see
,
"
said
Billy
Smallbury
,
"
The
man
’
s
will
was
to
do
right
,
sure
enough
,
but
his
heart
didn
’
t
chime
in
.
"
"
He
got
so
much
better
,
that
he
was
quite
godly
in
his
later
years
,
wasn
’
t
he
,
Jan
?
"
said
Joseph
Poorgrass
.
"
He
got
himself
confirmed
over
again
in
a
more
serious
way
,
and
took
to
saying
’
Amen
’
almost
as
loud
as
the
clerk
,
and
he
liked
to
copy
comforting
verses
from
the
tombstones
.
He
used
,
too
,
to
hold
the
money
-
plate
at
Let
Your
Light
so
Shine
,
and
stand
godfather
to
poor
little
come
-
by
-
chance
children
;
and
he
kept
a
missionary
box
upon
his
table
to
nab
folks
unawares
when
they
called
;
yes
,
and
he
would
box
the
charity
-
boys
’
ears
,
if
they
laughed
in
church
,
till
they
could
hardly
stand
upright
,
and
do
other
deeds
of
piety
natural
to
the
saintly
inclined
.
"
"
Ay
,
at
that
time
he
thought
of
nothing
but
high
things
,
"
added
Billy
Smallbury
.
"
One
day
Parson
Thirdly
met
him
and
said
,
’
Good
-
Morning
,
Mister
Everdene
;
’
tis
a
fine
day
!
’
’
Amen
’
said
Everdene
,
quite
absent
-
like
,
thinking
only
of
religion
when
he
seed
a
parson
.
Yes
,
he
was
a
very
Christian
man
.
"
"
Their
daughter
was
not
at
all
a
pretty
chiel
at
that
time
,
"
said
Henery
Fray
.
"
Never
should
have
thought
she
’
d
have
growed
up
such
a
handsome
body
as
she
is
.
"
"
’
Tis
to
be
hoped
her
temper
is
as
good
as
her
face
.
"
"
Well
,
yes
;
but
the
baily
will
have
most
to
do
with
the
business
and
ourselves
.
Ah
!
"
Henery
gazed
into
the
ashpit
,
and
smiled
volumes
of
ironical
knowledge
.
