CHAPTER XIV,

; (Continued. )

The fact was, Hetty had really forgotten the difference of the clocks when she told Captain Donnithorve that she set out at eight, and this, with her lingering pace, /had made her nearly half an hour later than (usual. But here her aunt’s attention was | divertcd from the tender subject by Totty, | who, perceiving at length that the arrival (of her cousins was not likely to bring any ‘thing satisfactory to her in particular‘ ‘began to ery, ‘Munny, munny,’ in an ex- | plosive manner,

‘Well, then, my pet, mother’s got her,

‘mother won’t leave her; Totty be a good! turned to go upstairs,

|

Poyser ; Alick’s been come in this long while,’ said Mrs. Poyser, rising with an appearance of relief from her low chair. ‘Get me the m.tches down Hetry, for I must Rave the rushlight burning i’ my room, Come father.’ | The heavy wooden holts began to roll in ‘the house doors, and old Martin prepared to move, by gathering up his blue har dker- chi: f, and reaching his bright kncobbed walnut-tree stick from the corner. Mrs. Poyser tien led the way out of tle ki chen, followed by the grandfather, and Dinah jwith Totty in her arms— all going to bed at twilight, hke the birds, Mrs. Poyser, on jher way, peeped into the room where her jtwo boys lay, just to see th ir raddy ound cheeks on the pillow, and to hear for a moment their light, regular bre» thing ‘Come, Hetty, get tu bed,’ said Mr. Poyser, ina soothing tone, as he himself ‘You didna mean

dliing, and go to sleep now,’ said Mrs. to be late, ll be bound ; but your aunt’s

_ Poyser, leaning back and rocking the chair, | ‘while she tried to make Totty nestle ‘against her. But Totty only cried louder jand said, ‘don’t yock! So the motier, | with that wondrous patience which loves ‘gives tothe quickest temperament, sat up jagain, and pressed her cheek against the ilinen night-cap and kissed it and forgot to _scold Hetty any longer.

' ‘Come, Hetty,’ said Martin Poyser, in a ‘conciliatory tone, ‘goand get your supper ‘i’ the pantry, as the things are all put | away ; an’ then you can come an’ take the ‘little un while your aunt undresses herself, for she won't he down in bed without her mother. An’ I reckon you could eat a bit, | Dinah, for they don’t keep much of a house | down there.’

‘No, thank you, uncle,’ said Dinah; ‘I ate a good meal before I came away, for Mrs. Bede would make a kettle-cake for me’

‘I don’t want any supper,’ said Hetty, taking off her hat. ‘I can hold Totty now, if aunt wants me.’

‘Why, what nonsense that is to talk,’ said Mrs. Poyser. ‘Do you think you can {oer wi’out eatin’, an’ nourish your inside wi’ stickin’ red ribbons on your head? Go

an’ get your supper this minute, child; there’s a nice bit o’ cold pudding i’ the safe ;-~yvst what you're fund on.’ | Hetty complied silently by going toward jthe pantry, and Mrs. Poyser went on, ' speaking to Dinah. ‘Sit down, my dear, an’ look as if you _knowed what it was to make yourself a bit comfortable i the world. 1 warrant the old woman wus glad to see you, since you stayed so long !’

‘She seemed to like having me there at last; but her sons say she doesn’t like young women abort her, commonly; and I thought just at first she was almost angry at me for going.”

‘Eh! its a poor lookout when th’ old folks doesna like the young ‘uns,’ said old Martin, bending his head down lower, and seeming to trace the pattern of the quarries heer his eye.

‘Ay, it’s ill livin’ ina hen roost for them as doesn’t like fleas,’ said Mrs. Poyser, ‘We've all had our turn at bein’ young, I reckon, be’t good luck or ill.’

‘But she must learn to ’commodate her- self to young women, said Mr. Poyser, | ‘for it isn’t to be counted on as Adam and Seth ‘ull keep bachelors for the next ten year to please their mother. That ‘ud be onreasonable. It isn't right for old nor young naythur to make a bargain all their own side. What’s good for one’s good all round, i’ the long run. I’m no friend to young fellows a-marrying afore they know the diference rtween acrab an’ apple; but they may wait o’er long.’

‘To be sure,’ said Mrs. Poyser; ‘if you go past your dinner-time there’il be little re- lish vo’ your meat. You turn it o’er an o'er wi’ your fork and don’t eat it after all _ You find fau’t wi’ your meat, an’ the fau’t’s

‘all i? your own stomach,’

Hetty now came back from the pantry, and said, ‘I can take Totty, now, aunt, if you hke.’

‘Come, Rachel,’ said Mr. Poyser, as his wife seemed to hesitate, seeing that Totty was at last nestling quietly, ‘thee’dst better let Hetty carry her upstaizs, while thee tak’st thy things off. Thee't tired. It’s time thee wast in bed. Thee’t bring on the pain in thy side again.’

‘Well, she may hold her if the child ‘Il

go to her,” said Mrs. Poyser. Hetty went clese to the rocking chair. and stood without her usual smile, and without any attempt to entice Totty, simply waiting for her aunt to give the child in‘o her hands.’

‘Wilt go to Cousin Hetty, my dilling, while mother gets ready to go to bed? Then Totty shall go into mother’s bed, and sleep there all night.’

Before her mother had done speaking, Totty had given her answer in an unmis takable mauner, by knitting her brow, set- ting her tiny teeth against her under lip, and leaning forward to slap Hetty on the arm with her utmost force. Then, without speaking, she nestled to her mother again.

‘Hey! hey!’ said Mr. Poyser, while Hetty stood without moving, ‘not go to Cousin Hetty! That's like a babby; Totty’s

been worried to-day.

Gvod night, my wench, good night.’
