ONE:Rye platforms, instead of being confined to arguments on herrings and sprats, rang unusually with matters of national import. The free education of the poor was then a vital question, which Reuben and his party opposed with all their might. Educated labourers meant higher wages and a loss of that submissive temper which resulted in so many hours' ill-paid work. Here the Bardons waxed eloquent, but Backfield, helped by Ditch of Totease, who could speak quite well if put through his paces beforehand, drew such a picture of the ruin which would attend an educated democracy, that the voice of Flightshot, always too carefully modulated to be effective, was silenced."F?ather," pleaded Robert, "you loved my mother."
Reuben listened as if in a nightmarethe blood in his veins seemed to turn to ice. He could hardly believe his ears."The city of London!" repeated Turner in a tone that implied little approval of the suggestion."Shot one of my cows!" and Reuben sprang to his feet. "Where woman? Where?""WhyyesI have, Master Calverley; but in truth I don't like to have any thing to do with her. If she set a spell upon me, I could never do good again. Did not she tell Roger Follett, that if he didn't take care, sooner or later, the gable end of his house would fall? and so, sure enough it did."Realf went white to the lips, and said nothing."Ho, ?un't you?Come on, you puppy-dog, and see fur yourself if you need t?ake pity on my old age."
