do you love brother ? |
you may wait here mary |
i do not especially wish for it |
that one so young should be so hardened ! |
maybe . |
'maybe ? ' alas it is certainly ! oh why why do you absent yourself from the house of god ? let us pray ! |
a hardened sinner poor lovely creature ! so young and so lost ! i believe that she dislikes me ! she says she loves dr . lavendar yes she must dislike me . is my manner too severe ? perhaps my appearance is unattractive . |
he only likes sinners and oh i am not a sinner ! |
do you have doubts concerning the soundness of either of the ministersthe old man or the young man ? |
oh no sir |
do you dislike themthe young man or the old man ? |
oh no father . i loveone of them . |
then why not go to his church ? either minister can give you the seeds of salvation one not less than the other . why not sit under either ministry ? |
i do n't know |
and ii unworthy as i was ! i heard the voice speaking through a sister 's lips and it said oh sinner ! for what for what what can separate separate from the love . . . oh nothing . oh nothing . oh nothing . |
i heard it |
you are teaching fenn 's sister to sew ? very nice ! very nice ! |
will you tell brother the doctor said i behaved better than the circus lion when his tooth was pulled ? |
indeed i will mary ! |
an ' he said he 'd rather pull my tooth than a lion 's tooth ? |
of course i 'll tell him . |
miss philly shall i dream of my tooth do you suppose ? |
i hope i will it means something nice . i forget what now . |
dreams do n't mean anything mary . |
oh yes they do ! mrs . semple has a dreambook and she reads it to me every day an ' she reads me what my dreams mean . sometimes i have n't any dreams but she reads all the same . did you ever dream about a black ox walking on its back legs ? i never did . i do n't want to . it means trouble . |
goosey ! |
if you dream of the moon it means you are going to have a beau who 'll love you . |
little girls must n't talk about love such things are foolish mary you are going to have a beau ! |
it is n't right to read them to the child it 's a foolish book mary i never saw such a book . |
i 'll bring it the next time i come |
oh no no it 's a wrong book . i could n't read such a book exceptexcept to tell you how foolish and wrong it is . |
did you bring that foolish book ? |
i 'most forgot ! yes ma'am i got it . i 'll show what it says about the black ox |
no you need n't you pick some more seeds for me and i'lljust look at it . |
any number of young females shall take a handful of wheaten flour |
to know whether a man shall have the woman he wishes . wish |
a charm to charm a man 's love . let a young maid pick of rosemary two roots of monk'shood |
there is no harm in it |
somebody making herb tea and stealing my business ? |
what is this smell of herbs philippa ? are you making a drink for hannah ? oh no father |
ah i see you do n't give away your secrets to a rival but do n't give your tea to hannah without telling me what it is . |
oh no sir . tea add the philter to the drink of one who loved her not |
please i wo n't come to church yet . |
you mean you will come sometime ? |
yes sometime . |
behold now is the accepted time ! |
i will come . . . afterwards . |
after what ? |
after after you stop caring for my soul . |
we always have tea get your sundaygotomeeting dress on |
oh i do not look wicked |
on the contrary her face is pleasing |
will you taste it and see if it is right ? |
is itagreeable ? |
very very indeed it is perhaps a little strong that is if i could be sure i was not out of my mind at the time |
the voice ! no . not that . he is dying . do n't you see ? that 's what it is . he is dying . |
he is going to die |
drink it ! drink it i tell ye ! i believe you 're poisoned ! |
he shall not die |
say where are you bound for ? what 's your hurry ? oh just for a minute ? doctor hurry he 'll die hurry i killed him . doctor hurry he'lloh i must n't talk ! it takes my breath i ca n't talkifirun |
no do n't try to tell me what it is i 'll put jinny into the buggy and we 'll get back in a jiffy . i understand hannah is worse . |
not . . . hannah |
your father ? |
not father mr . fenn |
do n't try to talk |
i wanted him to love me . i used a charm . it was wicked . |
come come not wicked a little foolish perhaps . a new frock and a rose in your hair and a smile at another man would be enough of a charm my dear . |
it was not enough . i wore my best frock and i went to dr . lavendar 's church |
good gracious ! |
they were not enough . so i used a charm . i made a drink |
ah ! what was in the drink miss philly ? |
perhaps it was not the right herb it may have been 'motherwort ' but the book said 'monk'shood ' and i |
aconite ! |
will he live ? i hope so i hope so ! it 's his own fault why in thunder did n't he fall in love like a man instead of making the child resort tog'on jinny ! g'on ! |
he is gone ! poor lad poor boy ! |
bless the lord ! |
he 's asking for philly |
it must have been poison when he gets over it he will tell us what it was . |
i do n't believe he will |
i will tell himand perhaps god will forgive me . |
no you won'tanyhow at present . take that child upstairs hannah and put her to bed . she ran all the way to old chester to get me |
