+TOWN VERSUS COUNTRY.
+
+By Mary Russell Mitford
+
+
+“I’m desperately afear’d, Sue, that that brother of thine will turn out
+a jackanapes,” was the apostrophe of the good yeoman Michael Howe, to
+his pretty daughter Susan, as they were walking one fine afternoon in
+harvest through some narrow and richly wooded lanes, which wound
+between the crofts of his farm of Rutherford West, situate in that
+out-of-the-way part of Berkshire which is emphatically called “the Low
+Country,” for no better reason that I can discover than that it is the
+very hilliest part of the royal county. “I’m sadly afear’d, Sue, that
+he’ll turn out a jackanapes!”--and the stout farmer brandished the tall
+paddle which served him at once as a walking stick and a weeding-hook,
+and began vigorously eradicating the huge thistles which grew by the
+roadside, as a mere vent for his vexation. “You’ll see that he’ll come
+back an arrant puppy,” quoth Michael Howe.
+
+“Oh, father! don’t say so,” rejoined Susan, “why should you think so
+hardly of poor William--our own dear William, whom we have not seen
+these three years? What earthly harm has he done?”
+
+“Harm, girl! Look at his letters! You know you’re ashamed yourself to
+take ‘em of the postman. Pink paper, forsooth, and blue ink, and a seal
+with bits of make-believe gold speckled about in it like a ladybird’s
+wings--I hate all make-believes, all shams; they’re worse than
+poison;--and stinking of some outlandish scent, so that I’m forced to
+smoke a couple of pipes extra to get rid of the smell; and latterly, as
+if this folly was not enough, he has crammed these precious scrawls into
+a sort of paper-bag, pasted together just as if o’ purpose to make us
+pay double postage. Jackanapes did I call him? He’s a worse mollycot
+than a woman.”
+
+“Dear father, all young men will be foolish one way or another; and you
+know my uncle says, that William is wonderfully steady for so young a
+man, and his master is so well pleased with him, that he is now foreman
+in his great concern. You must pardon a little nonsense in a country
+youth, thrown suddenly into a fine shop in the gayest part of London,
+and with his godfather’s legacy coming unexpectedly upon him, and making
+him too rich for a journeyman tradesman. But he’s coming to see us now.
+He would have come six months ago, as soon as he got this money, if his
+master could have spared him; and he’ll be wiser before he goes back to
+London.”
+
+“Not he. Hang Lunnon! Why did he go to Lunnon at all? Why could not he
+stop at Rutherford like his father and his father’s father, and see to
+the farm? What business had he in a great shop?--a man-mercer’s they
+call it. What call had he to Lunnon, I say? Tell me that, Miss Susan.
+
+“Why, dear father, you know very well that when Master George Arnot was
+so unluckily obstinate about the affair of the water-course, and would
+go to law with you, and swore that instead of marrying William, poor
+Mary should be married to the rich maltster old Jacob Giles, William,
+who had loved Mary ever since they were children together, could not
+bear to stay in the country, and went off to my uncle, forbidding me
+ever to mention her name in a letter; and,--” “Well! well!” rejoined the
+father, somewhat softened, “but he need not have turned puppy and
+coxcomb because he was crossed in love. Pshaw!” added the good farmer,
+giving a mighty tug with his paddle at a tough mullein which happened to
+stand in his way, “I was crossed in love myself, in my young days,
+but I did not run off and turn tailor. I made up plump to another
+wench--your poor mother, Susan, that’s dead and gone--and carried her
+off like a man; married her in a month, girl; and that’s what Will
+should have done. I’m afear’d we shall find him a sad jackanapes. Jem
+Hathaway, the gauger, told me last market-day that he saw him one Sunday
+in the what-dye-call’t--the Park there, covered with rings, and gold
+chains, and fine velvets--all green and gold, like our great peacock.
+Well! we shall soon see. He comes to-night, you say? ‘Tis not above six
+o’clock by the sun, and the Wantage coach don’t come in till seven. Even
+if they lend him a horse and cart at the Nag’s Head, he can’t be here
+these two hours. So I shall just see the ten acre field cleared, and be
+home time enough to shake him by the hand if he comes like a man, or
+to kick him out of doors if he looks like a dandy.” And off strode the
+stout yeoman in his clouted shoes, his leather gaiters, and smockfrock,
+and a beard (it was Friday) of six days’ growth; looking altogether
+prodigiously like a man who would keep his word.
+
+Susan, on her part, continued to thread the narrow winding lanes that
+led towards Wantage; walking leisurely along, and forming as she went,
+half unconsciously, a nosegay of the wild flowers of the season; the
+delicate hare-bell, the lingering wood-vetch, the blue scabious, the
+heaths which clustered on the bank, the tall graceful lilac campanula,
+the snowy bells of the bindweed, the latest briar-rose, and that
+species of clematis, which, perhaps, because it generally indicates
+the neighbourhood of houses, has won for itself the pretty name of the
+traveller’s joy, whilst that loveliest of wild flowers, whose name is
+now sentimentalised out of prettiness, the intensely blue forget-me-not,
+was there in rich profusion.
+
+Susan herself was not unlike her posy; sweet and delicate, and full of
+a certain pastoral grace. Her light and airy figure suited well with a
+fair mild countenance, breaking into blushes and smiles when she spoke,
+and set off by bright ringlets of golden hair, parted on her white
+forehead, and hanging in long curls on her finely-rounded cheeks. Always
+neat but never fine, gentle, cheerful, and modest, it would be difficult
+to find a prettier specimen of an English farmer’s daughter than Susan
+Howe. But just now the little damsel wore a look of care not usual to
+her fair and tranquil features; she seemed, as she was, full of trouble.
+
+“Poor William!” so ran her thoughts, “my father would not even listen
+to his last letter because it poisoned him with musk. I wonder that
+William can like that disagreeable smell! and he expects him to come
+down on the top of the coach, instead of which, he says that he means
+to purchase a--a--(even in her thoughts poor Susan could not master
+the word, and was obliged to have recourse to the musk-scented billet)
+britschka--ay, that’s it!--or a droschky; I wonder what sort of things
+they are--and that he only visits us _en passant_ in a tour, for which,
+town being so empty, and business slack, his employer has given him
+leave, and in which he is to be accompanied by his friend Monsieur
+Victor--Victor--I can’t make out his other name--an eminent perfumer who
+lives next door. To think of bringing a Frenchman here, remembering how
+my father hates the whole nation! Oh dear, dear! And yet I know William.
+I know why he went, and I do believe, in spite of a little finery and
+foolishness, and of all the britschkas, and droschkies, and Victors,
+into the bargain, that he’ll be glad to get home again. No place like
+home! Even in these silly notes that feeling is always at the bottom.
+Did not I hear a carriage before me? Yes!--no!--I can’t tell. One
+takes every thing for the sound of wheels when one is expecting a dear
+friend!--And if we can but get him to look, as he used to look, and to
+be what he used to be, he won’t leave us again for all the fine shops in
+Regent Street, or all the britschkas and droschkies in Christendom. My
+father is getting old now, and William ought to stay at home,” thought
+the affectionate sister; “and I firmly believe that what he ought to do,
+he will do. Besides which--surely there _is_ a carriage now.” Just as
+Susan arrived at this point of her cogitations, that sound which had
+haunted her imagination all the afternoon, the sound of wheels rapidly
+advancing, became more and more audible, and was suddenly succeeded by
+a tremendous crash, mixed with men’s voices--one of them her
+brother’s--venting in two languages (for Monsieur Victor, whatever might
+be his proficiency in English, had recourse in this emergency to his
+native tongue) the different ejaculations of anger and astonishment
+which are pretty sure to accompany an overset: and on turning a corner
+of the lane, Susan caught her first sight of the britschka or droschky,
+whichever it might be, that had so much puzzled her simple apprehension,
+in the shape of a heavy-looking open carriage garnished with head and
+apron, lying prostrate against a gate-post, of which the wheels had
+fallen foul. Her brother was fully occupied in disengaging the horses
+from the traces, in reprimanding his companion for his bad driving,
+which he declared had occasioned the accident, and in directing him to
+go for assistance to a cottage half a mile back on the road to Wantage,
+whilst he himself intimated his intention of proceeding for more help
+to the Farm; and the obedient Frenchman--who, notwithstanding the
+derangement which his coëffure might naturally be expected to have
+experienced in his tumble, looked, Susan thought, as if his hair were
+put in paper every night and pomatumed every morning, and as if his
+whole dapper person were saturated with his own finest essences, a sort
+of travelling perfumer’s shop, a peripatetic pouncet-box--walked off
+in the direction indicated, with an air of habitual submission, which
+showed pretty plainly that, whether as proprietor of the unlucky
+britschka, or from his own force of character, William was considered as
+the principal director of the present expedition.
+
+Having sent his comrade off, William Howe, leaving his steeds quietly
+browsing by the wayside, bent his steps towards home. Susan advanced
+rapidly to meet him; and in a few seconds the brother and sister were in
+each other’s arms; and, after most affectionate greetings, they sat
+down by mutual consent upon a piece of felled timber which lay upon the
+bank--the lane on one side being bounded by an old coppice--and began to
+ask each other the thousand questions so interesting to the children of
+one house who have been long parted.
+
+Seldom surely has the rough and rugged bark of an unhewed elm had
+the honour of supporting so perfect an exquisite. Jem Hathaway, the
+exciseman, had in nothing exaggerated the magnificence of our young
+Londoner. From shoes which looked as if they had come from Paris in the
+ambassador’s bag, to the curled head and the whiskered and mustachio’d
+countenance, (for the hat which should have been the crown of the finery
+was wanting--probably in consequence of the recent overturn,) from top
+to toe he looked fit for a ball at Almack’s, or a fete at Bridgewater
+House; and, oh! how unsuited to the old-fashioned homestead at
+Rutherford West! His lower appointments, hose and trousers, were of the
+finest woven silk; his coat was claret colour, of the latest cut; his
+waistcoat--talk of the great peacock, _he_ would have seemed dingy
+and dusky beside such a splendour of colour!--his waistcoat literally
+dazzled poor Susan’s eyes; and his rings, and chains, and studs, and
+brooches, seemed to the wondering girl almost sufficient to stock a
+jeweller’s shop.
+
+In spite of all this nonsense, it was clear to her from every look and
+word that she was not mistaken in believing William unchanged in mind
+and disposition, and that there was a warm and a kind heart beating
+under the finery. Moreover, she felt that if the unseemly magnificence
+could once be thrown aside, the whiskers and mustachios cleared away,
+and his fine manly person reinstated in the rustic costume in which she
+had been accustomed to see him, her brother would _then_ appear
+greatly improved in face and figure, taller, more vigorous, and with an
+expression of intelligence and frankness delightful to behold. But how
+to get quit of the finery, and the Frenchman, and the britschka? Or how
+reconcile her father to iniquities so far surpassing even the smell of
+musk?
+
+William, on his part, regarded his sister with unqualified admiration.
+He had left a laughing blooming girl, he found a delicate and lovely
+young woman, all the more lovely for the tears that mingled with her
+smiles, true tokens of a most pure affection.
+
+“And you really are glad to see me, Susy? And my father is well? And
+here is the old place, looking just as it used to do; house, and ricks,
+and barnyard, not quite in sight, but one feels that one shall see them
+at the next turning--the great coppice right opposite, looking
+thicker and greener than ever! how often we have gone nutting in that
+coppice!--the tall holly at the gate, with the woodbine climbing up,
+and twisting its sweet garlands round the very topmost spray like a
+coronet;--many a time and often have I climbed the holly to twine the
+flaunting wreath round your straw-bonnet, Miss Susy! And here, on the
+other side of the hedge, is the very field where Hector and Harebell ran
+their famous course, and gave their hare fifty turns before they
+killed her, without ever letting her get out of the stubble. Those were
+pleasant days, Susan, after all!”
+
+“Happy days, dear William!”
+
+“And we shall go nutting again, shall we not?”
+
+“Surely, dear brother! Only”---- And
+
+Susan suddenly stopped.
+
+“Only what, Miss Susy?’
+
+“Only I don’t see how you can possibly go into the copse in this dress.
+Think how the brambles would prick and tear, and how that chain would
+catch in the hazel stems! and as to climbing the holly-tree in that fine
+tight coat, or beating the stubbles for a hare in those delicate
+thin shoes, why the thing is out of the question. And I really don’t
+believe,” continued Susan, finding it easier to go on than to begin,
+“I really don’t believe that either Hector or Harebell would know you if
+they saw you so decked out.”
+
+William laughed outright
+
+“I don’t mean to go coursing in these shoes, I assure you, Susy. This is
+an evening dress. I have a shooting-jacket and all thereunto belonging
+in the britschka, which will not puzzle either Harebell or Hector,
+because it’s just what they have been used to see me wear.”
+
+“Put it on, then, I beseech you?” exclaimed Susy; “put it on directly!”
+
+“Why, I am not going coursing this evening.”
+
+“No--but my father!--Oh, dear William! if you did but know how he hates
+finery, and foreigners, and whiskers, and britschkas! Oh, dear William,
+send off the French gentleman and the outlandish carriage--run into the
+coppice and put on the shooting-dress!”
+
+“Oh, Susan!” began William; but Susan having once summoned up courage
+sufficient to put her remonstrances into words, followed up the attack
+with an earnestness that did not admit a moment’s interruption.
+
+“My father hates finery even more than Harebell or Hector would do. You
+know his country notions, dear William; and I think that latterly he has
+hated everything that looks Londonish and new-fangled worse than ever.
+We are old-fashioned people at Rutherford. There’s your pretty old
+friend Mary Amott can’t abide gewgaws any more than my father.”
+
+“Mary Arnott! You mean Mrs. Giles. What do I care for her likes and
+dislikes?” exclaimed William, haughtily.
+
+“I mean Mary Arnott, and not Mrs. Giles, and you do care for her likes
+and dislikes a great deal,” replied his sister, with some archness.
+“Poor Mary, when the week before that fixed for the wedding arrived,
+felt that she _could_ not marry Master Jacob Giles; so she found an
+opportunity of speaking to him alone, and told him the truth. I even
+believe, although I have no warrant for saying so, that she confessed
+she could not love him because she loved another. Master Giles behaved
+like a wise man, and told her father that it would be very wrong to
+force her inclinations. He behaved kindly as well as wisely, for he
+endeavoured to reconcile all parties, and put matters in train for the
+wedding that had hindered his. This at that time Master Arnott would not
+hear of, and therefore we did not tell you that the marriage which you
+took for granted had gone off. Till about three months ago, that odious
+lawsuit was in full action, and Master Arnott as violently set against
+my father as ever. Then, however, he was taken ill, and, upon his
+deathbed, he sent for his old friend, begged his pardon, and appointed
+him guardian to Mary. And there she is at home--for she would not come
+to meet you--but there she is, hoping to find you just what you were
+when you went away, and hating Frenchmen, and britschkas, and finery,
+and the smell of musk, just as if she were my father’s daughter in good
+earnest. And now, dear William, I know what has been passing in your
+mind, quite as well as if hearts were peep-shows, and one could see to
+the bottom of them at the rate of a penny a look. I know that you went
+away for love of Mary, and flung yourself into the finery of London
+to try to get rid of the thought of her, and came down with all this
+nonsense of britschkas, and whiskers, and waistcoats, and rings, just to
+show her what a beau she had lost in losing you--Did not you, now? Well!
+don’t stand squeezing my hand, but go and meet your French friend, who
+has got a man, I see, to help to pick up the fallen equipage. Go and get
+rid of him,” quoth Susan.
+
+“How can I?” exclaimed William, in laughing perplexity.
+
+“Give him the britschka!” responded his sister, “and send them off
+together as fast as may be. That will be a magnificent farewell. And
+then take your portmanteau into the copse, and change all this trumpery
+for the shooting-jacket and its belongings; and then come back and let
+me trim these whiskers as closely as scissors can trim them, and then
+we’ll go to the farm, to gladden the hearts of Harebell, Hector, my dear
+father, and--somebody else; and it will not be that somebody’s fault if
+ever you go to London again, or get into a britschka, or put on a chain,
+or a ring, or write with blue ink upon pink paper, as long as you live.
+Now go and dismiss the Frenchman,” added Susan, laughing, “and well
+walk home together the happiest brother and sister in Christendom.”

+TOWN VERSUS COUNTRY.
+
+By Mary Russell Mitford
+
+
+"I'm desperately afear'd, Sue, that that brother of thine will turn out
+a jackanapes," was the apostrophe of the good yeoman Michael Howe, to
+his pretty daughter Susan, as they were walking one fine afternoon in
+harvest through some narrow and richly wooded lanes, which wound
+between the crofts of his farm of Rutherford West, situate in that
+out-of-the-way part of Berkshire which is emphatically called "the Low
+Country," for no better reason that I can discover than that it is the
+very hilliest part of the royal county. "I'm sadly afear'd, Sue, that
+he'll turn out a jackanapes!"--and the stout farmer brandished the tall
+paddle which served him at once as a walking stick and a weeding-hook,
+and began vigorously eradicating the huge thistles which grew by the
+roadside, as a mere vent for his vexation. "You'll see that he'll come
+back an arrant puppy," quoth Michael Howe.
+
+"Oh, father! don't say so," rejoined Susan, "why should you think so
+hardly of poor William--our own dear William, whom we have not seen
+these three years? What earthly harm has he done?"
+
+"Harm, girl! Look at his letters! You know you're ashamed yourself to
+take 'em of the postman. Pink paper, forsooth, and blue ink, and a seal
+with bits of make-believe gold speckled about in it like a ladybird's
+wings--I hate all make-believes, all shams; they're worse than
+poison;--and stinking of some outlandish scent, so that I'm forced to
+smoke a couple of pipes extra to get rid of the smell; and latterly, as
+if this folly was not enough, he has crammed these precious scrawls into
+a sort of paper-bag, pasted together just as if o' purpose to make us
+pay double postage. Jackanapes did I call him? He's a worse mollycot
+than a woman."
+
+"Dear father, all young men will be foolish one way or another; and you
+know my uncle says, that William is wonderfully steady for so young a
+man, and his master is so well pleased with him, that he is now foreman
+in his great concern. You must pardon a little nonsense in a country
+youth, thrown suddenly into a fine shop in the gayest part of London,
+and with his godfather's legacy coming unexpectedly upon him, and making
+him too rich for a journeyman tradesman. But he's coming to see us now.
+He would have come six months ago, as soon as he got this money, if his
+master could have spared him; and he'll be wiser before he goes back to
+London."
+
+"Not he. Hang Lunnon! Why did he go to Lunnon at all? Why could not he
+stop at Rutherford like his father and his father's father, and see to
+the farm? What business had he in a great shop?--a man-mercer's they
+call it. What call had he to Lunnon, I say? Tell me that, Miss Susan.
+
+"Why, dear father, you know very well that when Master George Arnot was
+so unluckily obstinate about the affair of the water-course, and would
+go to law with you, and swore that instead of marrying William, poor
+Mary should be married to the rich maltster old Jacob Giles, William,
+who had loved Mary ever since they were children together, could not
+bear to stay in the country, and went off to my uncle, forbidding me
+ever to mention her name in a letter; and,--" "Well! well!" rejoined the
+father, somewhat softened, "but he need not have turned puppy and
+coxcomb because he was crossed in love. Pshaw!" added the good farmer,
+giving a mighty tug with his paddle at a tough mullein which happened to
+stand in his way, "I was crossed in love myself, in my young days,
+but I did not run off and turn tailor. I made up plump to another
+wench--your poor mother, Susan, that's dead and gone--and carried her
+off like a man; married her in a month, girl; and that's what Will
+should have done. I'm afear'd we shall find him a sad jackanapes. Jem
+Hathaway, the gauger, told me last market-day that he saw him one Sunday
+in the what-dye-call't--the Park there, covered with rings, and gold
+chains, and fine velvets--all green and gold, like our great peacock.
+Well! we shall soon see. He comes to-night, you say? 'Tis not above six
+o'clock by the sun, and the Wantage coach don't come in till seven. Even
+if they lend him a horse and cart at the Nag's Head, he can't be here
+these two hours. So I shall just see the ten acre field cleared, and be
+home time enough to shake him by the hand if he comes like a man, or
+to kick him out of doors if he looks like a dandy." And off strode the
+stout yeoman in his clouted shoes, his leather gaiters, and smockfrock,
+and a beard (it was Friday) of six days' growth; looking altogether
+prodigiously like a man who would keep his word.
+
+Susan, on her part, continued to thread the narrow winding lanes that
+led towards Wantage; walking leisurely along, and forming as she went,
+half unconsciously, a nosegay of the wild flowers of the season; the
+delicate hare-bell, the lingering wood-vetch, the blue scabious, the
+heaths which clustered on the bank, the tall graceful lilac campanula,
+the snowy bells of the bindweed, the latest briar-rose, and that
+species of clematis, which, perhaps, because it generally indicates
+the neighbourhood of houses, has won for itself the pretty name of the
+traveller's joy, whilst that loveliest of wild flowers, whose name is
+now sentimentalised out of prettiness, the intensely blue forget-me-not,
+was there in rich profusion.
+
+Susan herself was not unlike her posy; sweet and delicate, and full of
+a certain pastoral grace. Her light and airy figure suited well with a
+fair mild countenance, breaking into blushes and smiles when she spoke,
+and set off by bright ringlets of golden hair, parted on her white
+forehead, and hanging in long curls on her finely-rounded cheeks. Always
+neat but never fine, gentle, cheerful, and modest, it would be difficult
+to find a prettier specimen of an English farmer's daughter than Susan
+Howe. But just now the little damsel wore a look of care not usual to
+her fair and tranquil features; she seemed, as she was, full of trouble.
+
+"Poor William!" so ran her thoughts, "my father would not even listen
+to his last letter because it poisoned him with musk. I wonder that
+William can like that disagreeable smell! and he expects him to come
+down on the top of the coach, instead of which, he says that he means
+to purchase a--a--(even in her thoughts poor Susan could not master
+the word, and was obliged to have recourse to the musk-scented billet)
+britschka--ay, that's it!--or a droschky; I wonder what sort of things
+they are--and that he only visits us _en passant_ in a tour, for which,
+town being so empty, and business slack, his employer has given him
+leave, and in which he is to be accompanied by his friend Monsieur
+Victor--Victor--I can't make out his other name--an eminent perfumer who
+lives next door. To think of bringing a Frenchman here, remembering how
+my father hates the whole nation! Oh dear, dear! And yet I know William.
+I know why he went, and I do believe, in spite of a little finery and
+foolishness, and of all the britschkas, and droschkies, and Victors,
+into the bargain, that he'll be glad to get home again. No place like
+home! Even in these silly notes that feeling is always at the bottom.
+Did not I hear a carriage before me? Yes!--no!--I can't tell. One
+takes every thing for the sound of wheels when one is expecting a dear
+friend!--And if we can but get him to look, as he used to look, and to
+be what he used to be, he won't leave us again for all the fine shops in
+Regent Street, or all the britschkas and droschkies in Christendom. My
+father is getting old now, and William ought to stay at home," thought
+the affectionate sister; "and I firmly believe that what he ought to do,
+he will do. Besides which--surely there _is_ a carriage now." Just as
+Susan arrived at this point of her cogitations, that sound which had
+haunted her imagination all the afternoon, the sound of wheels rapidly
+advancing, became more and more audible, and was suddenly succeeded by
+a tremendous crash, mixed with men's voices--one of them her
+brother's--venting in two languages (for Monsieur Victor, whatever might
+be his proficiency in English, had recourse in this emergency to his
+native tongue) the different ejaculations of anger and astonishment
+which are pretty sure to accompany an overset: and on turning a corner
+of the lane, Susan caught her first sight of the britschka or droschky,
+whichever it might be, that had so much puzzled her simple apprehension,
+in the shape of a heavy-looking open carriage garnished with head and
+apron, lying prostrate against a gate-post, of which the wheels had
+fallen foul. Her brother was fully occupied in disengaging the horses
+from the traces, in reprimanding his companion for his bad driving,
+which he declared had occasioned the accident, and in directing him to
+go for assistance to a cottage half a mile back on the road to Wantage,
+whilst he himself intimated his intention of proceeding for more help
+to the Farm; and the obedient Frenchman--who, notwithstanding the
+derangement which his co�ffure might naturally be expected to have
+experienced in his tumble, looked, Susan thought, as if his hair were
+put in paper every night and pomatumed every morning, and as if his
+whole dapper person were saturated with his own finest essences, a sort
+of travelling perfumer's shop, a peripatetic pouncet-box--walked off
+in the direction indicated, with an air of habitual submission, which
+showed pretty plainly that, whether as proprietor of the unlucky
+britschka, or from his own force of character, William was considered as
+the principal director of the present expedition.
+
+Having sent his comrade off, William Howe, leaving his steeds quietly
+browsing by the wayside, bent his steps towards home. Susan advanced
+rapidly to meet him; and in a few seconds the brother and sister were in
+each other's arms; and, after most affectionate greetings, they sat
+down by mutual consent upon a piece of felled timber which lay upon the
+bank--the lane on one side being bounded by an old coppice--and began to
+ask each other the thousand questions so interesting to the children of
+one house who have been long parted.
+
+Seldom surely has the rough and rugged bark of an unhewed elm had
+the honour of supporting so perfect an exquisite. Jem Hathaway, the
+exciseman, had in nothing exaggerated the magnificence of our young
+Londoner. From shoes which looked as if they had come from Paris in the
+ambassador's bag, to the curled head and the whiskered and mustachio'd
+countenance, (for the hat which should have been the crown of the finery
+was wanting--probably in consequence of the recent overturn,) from top
+to toe he looked fit for a ball at Almack's, or a fete at Bridgewater
+House; and, oh! how unsuited to the old-fashioned homestead at
+Rutherford West! His lower appointments, hose and trousers, were of the
+finest woven silk; his coat was claret colour, of the latest cut; his
+waistcoat--talk of the great peacock, _he_ would have seemed dingy
+and dusky beside such a splendour of colour!--his waistcoat literally
+dazzled poor Susan's eyes; and his rings, and chains, and studs, and
+brooches, seemed to the wondering girl almost sufficient to stock a
+jeweller's shop.
+
+In spite of all this nonsense, it was clear to her from every look and
+word that she was not mistaken in believing William unchanged in mind
+and disposition, and that there was a warm and a kind heart beating
+under the finery. Moreover, she felt that if the unseemly magnificence
+could once be thrown aside, the whiskers and mustachios cleared away,
+and his fine manly person reinstated in the rustic costume in which she
+had been accustomed to see him, her brother would _then_ appear
+greatly improved in face and figure, taller, more vigorous, and with an
+expression of intelligence and frankness delightful to behold. But how
+to get quit of the finery, and the Frenchman, and the britschka? Or how
+reconcile her father to iniquities so far surpassing even the smell of
+musk?
+
+William, on his part, regarded his sister with unqualified admiration.
+He had left a laughing blooming girl, he found a delicate and lovely
+young woman, all the more lovely for the tears that mingled with her
+smiles, true tokens of a most pure affection.
+
+"And you really are glad to see me, Susy? And my father is well? And
+here is the old place, looking just as it used to do; house, and ricks,
+and barnyard, not quite in sight, but one feels that one shall see them
+at the next turning--the great coppice right opposite, looking
+thicker and greener than ever! how often we have gone nutting in that
+coppice!--the tall holly at the gate, with the woodbine climbing up,
+and twisting its sweet garlands round the very topmost spray like a
+coronet;--many a time and often have I climbed the holly to twine the
+flaunting wreath round your straw-bonnet, Miss Susy! And here, on the
+other side of the hedge, is the very field where Hector and Harebell ran
+their famous course, and gave their hare fifty turns before they
+killed her, without ever letting her get out of the stubble. Those were
+pleasant days, Susan, after all!"
+
+"Happy days, dear William!"
+
+"And we shall go nutting again, shall we not?"
+
+"Surely, dear brother! Only"---- And
+
+Susan suddenly stopped.
+
+"Only what, Miss Susy?'
+
+"Only I don't see how you can possibly go into the copse in this dress.
+Think how the brambles would prick and tear, and how that chain would
+catch in the hazel stems! and as to climbing the holly-tree in that fine
+tight coat, or beating the stubbles for a hare in those delicate
+thin shoes, why the thing is out of the question. And I really don't
+believe," continued Susan, finding it easier to go on than to begin,
+"I really don't believe that either Hector or Harebell would know you if
+they saw you so decked out."
+
+William laughed outright
+
+"I don't mean to go coursing in these shoes, I assure you, Susy. This is
+an evening dress. I have a shooting-jacket and all thereunto belonging
+in the britschka, which will not puzzle either Harebell or Hector,
+because it's just what they have been used to see me wear."
+
+"Put it on, then, I beseech you?" exclaimed Susy; "put it on directly!"
+
+"Why, I am not going coursing this evening."
+
+"No--but my father!--Oh, dear William! if you did but know how he hates
+finery, and foreigners, and whiskers, and britschkas! Oh, dear William,
+send off the French gentleman and the outlandish carriage--run into the
+coppice and put on the shooting-dress!"
+
+"Oh, Susan!" began William; but Susan having once summoned up courage
+sufficient to put her remonstrances into words, followed up the attack
+with an earnestness that did not admit a moment's interruption.
+
+"My father hates finery even more than Harebell or Hector would do. You
+know his country notions, dear William; and I think that latterly he has
+hated everything that looks Londonish and new-fangled worse than ever.
+We are old-fashioned people at Rutherford. There's your pretty old
+friend Mary Amott can't abide gewgaws any more than my father."
+
+"Mary Arnott! You mean Mrs. Giles. What do I care for her likes and
+dislikes?" exclaimed William, haughtily.
+
+"I mean Mary Arnott, and not Mrs. Giles, and you do care for her likes
+and dislikes a great deal," replied his sister, with some archness.
+"Poor Mary, when the week before that fixed for the wedding arrived,
+felt that she _could_ not marry Master Jacob Giles; so she found an
+opportunity of speaking to him alone, and told him the truth. I even
+believe, although I have no warrant for saying so, that she confessed
+she could not love him because she loved another. Master Giles behaved
+like a wise man, and told her father that it would be very wrong to
+force her inclinations. He behaved kindly as well as wisely, for he
+endeavoured to reconcile all parties, and put matters in train for the
+wedding that had hindered his. This at that time Master Arnott would not
+hear of, and therefore we did not tell you that the marriage which you
+took for granted had gone off. Till about three months ago, that odious
+lawsuit was in full action, and Master Arnott as violently set against
+my father as ever. Then, however, he was taken ill, and, upon his
+deathbed, he sent for his old friend, begged his pardon, and appointed
+him guardian to Mary. And there she is at home--for she would not come
+to meet you--but there she is, hoping to find you just what you were
+when you went away, and hating Frenchmen, and britschkas, and finery,
+and the smell of musk, just as if she were my father's daughter in good
+earnest. And now, dear William, I know what has been passing in your
+mind, quite as well as if hearts were peep-shows, and one could see to
+the bottom of them at the rate of a penny a look. I know that you went
+away for love of Mary, and flung yourself into the finery of London
+to try to get rid of the thought of her, and came down with all this
+nonsense of britschkas, and whiskers, and waistcoats, and rings, just to
+show her what a beau she had lost in losing you--Did not you, now? Well!
+don't stand squeezing my hand, but go and meet your French friend, who
+has got a man, I see, to help to pick up the fallen equipage. Go and get
+rid of him," quoth Susan.
+
+"How can I?" exclaimed William, in laughing perplexity.
+
+"Give him the britschka!" responded his sister, "and send them off
+together as fast as may be. That will be a magnificent farewell. And
+then take your portmanteau into the copse, and change all this trumpery
+for the shooting-jacket and its belongings; and then come back and let
+me trim these whiskers as closely as scissors can trim them, and then
+we'll go to the farm, to gladden the hearts of Harebell, Hector, my dear
+father, and--somebody else; and it will not be that somebody's fault if
+ever you go to London again, or get into a britschka, or put on a chain,
+or a ring, or write with blue ink upon pink paper, as long as you live.
+Now go and dismiss the Frenchman," added Susan, laughing, "and well
+walk home together the happiest brother and sister in Christendom."

+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with

+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in

+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or

+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:

+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the

+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this

+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies

+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of

+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at

+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact

+
+For additional contact information:

+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+    <p>
+      &ldquo;I&rsquo;m desperately afear&rsquo;d, Sue, that that brother of thine will turn out a
+      jackanapes,&rdquo; was the apostrophe of the good yeoman Michael Howe, to his
+      pretty daughter Susan, as they were walking one fine afternoon in harvest
+      through some narrow and richly wooded lanes, which wound between the
+      crofts of his farm of Rutherford West, situate in that out-of-the-way part
+      of Berkshire which is emphatically called &ldquo;the Low Country,&rdquo; for no better
+      reason that I can discover than that it is the very hilliest part of the
+      royal county. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m sadly afear&rsquo;d, Sue, that he&rsquo;ll turn out a jackanapes!&rdquo;&mdash;and
+      the stout farmer brandished the tall paddle which served him at once as a
+      walking stick and a weeding-hook, and began vigorously eradicating the
+      huge thistles which grew by the roadside, as a mere vent for his vexation.
+      &ldquo;You&rsquo;ll see that he&rsquo;ll come back an arrant puppy,&rdquo; quoth Michael Howe.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Oh, father! don&rsquo;t say so,&rdquo; rejoined Susan, &ldquo;why should you think so
+      hardly of poor William&mdash;our own dear William, whom we have not seen
+      these three years? What earthly harm has he done?&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Harm, girl! Look at his letters! You know you&rsquo;re ashamed yourself to take
+      &lsquo;em of the postman. Pink paper, forsooth, and blue ink, and a seal with
+      bits of make-believe gold speckled about in it like a ladybird&rsquo;s wings&mdash;I
+      hate all make-believes, all shams; they&rsquo;re worse than poison;&mdash;and
+      stinking of some outlandish scent, so that I&rsquo;m forced to smoke a couple of
+      pipes extra to get rid of the smell; and latterly, as if this folly was
+      not enough, he has crammed these precious scrawls into a sort of
+      paper-bag, pasted together just as if o&rsquo; purpose to make us pay double
+      postage. Jackanapes did I call him? He&rsquo;s a worse mollycot than a woman.&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Dear father, all young men will be foolish one way or another; and you
+      know my uncle says, that William is wonderfully steady for so young a man,
+      and his master is so well pleased with him, that he is now foreman in his
+      great concern. You must pardon a little nonsense in a country youth,
+      thrown suddenly into a fine shop in the gayest part of London, and with
+      his godfather&rsquo;s legacy coming unexpectedly upon him, and making him too
+      rich for a journeyman tradesman. But he&rsquo;s coming to see us now. He would
+      have come six months ago, as soon as he got this money, if his master
+      could have spared him; and he&rsquo;ll be wiser before he goes back to London.&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Not he. Hang Lunnon! Why did he go to Lunnon at all? Why could not he
+      stop at Rutherford like his father and his father&rsquo;s father, and see to the
+      farm? What business had he in a great shop?&mdash;a man-mercer&rsquo;s they call
+      it. What call had he to Lunnon, I say? Tell me that, Miss Susan.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Why, dear father, you know very well that when Master George Arnot was so
+      unluckily obstinate about the affair of the water-course, and would go to
+      law with you, and swore that instead of marrying William, poor Mary should
+      be married to the rich maltster old Jacob Giles, William, who had loved
+      Mary ever since they were children together, could not bear to stay in the
+      country, and went off to my uncle, forbidding me ever to mention her name
+      in a letter; and,&mdash;&rdquo; &ldquo;Well! well!&rdquo; rejoined the father, somewhat
+      softened, &ldquo;but he need not have turned puppy and coxcomb because he was
+      crossed in love. Pshaw!&rdquo; added the good farmer, giving a mighty tug with
+      his paddle at a tough mullein which happened to stand in his way, &ldquo;I was
+      crossed in love myself, in my young days, but I did not run off and turn
+      tailor. I made up plump to another wench&mdash;your poor mother, Susan,
+      that&rsquo;s dead and gone&mdash;and carried her off like a man; married her in
+      a month, girl; and that&rsquo;s what Will should have done. I&rsquo;m afear&rsquo;d we shall
+      find him a sad jackanapes. Jem Hathaway, the gauger, told me last
+      market-day that he saw him one Sunday in the what-dye-call&rsquo;t&mdash;the
+      Park there, covered with rings, and gold chains, and fine velvets&mdash;all
+      green and gold, like our great peacock. Well! we shall soon see. He comes
+      to-night, you say? &lsquo;Tis not above six o&rsquo;clock by the sun, and the Wantage
+      coach don&rsquo;t come in till seven. Even if they lend him a horse and cart at
+      the Nag&rsquo;s Head, he can&rsquo;t be here these two hours. So I shall just see the
+      ten acre field cleared, and be home time enough to shake him by the hand
+      if he comes like a man, or to kick him out of doors if he looks like a
+      dandy.&rdquo; And off strode the stout yeoman in his clouted shoes, his leather
+      gaiters, and smockfrock, and a beard (it was Friday) of six days&rsquo; growth;
+      looking altogether prodigiously like a man who would keep his word.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Susan, on her part, continued to thread the narrow winding lanes that led
+      towards Wantage; walking leisurely along, and forming as she went, half
+      unconsciously, a nosegay of the wild flowers of the season; the delicate
+      hare-bell, the lingering wood-vetch, the blue scabious, the heaths which
+      clustered on the bank, the tall graceful lilac campanula, the snowy bells
+      of the bindweed, the latest briar-rose, and that species of clematis,
+      which, perhaps, because it generally indicates the neighbourhood of
+      houses, has won for itself the pretty name of the traveller&rsquo;s joy, whilst
+      that loveliest of wild flowers, whose name is now sentimentalised out of
+      prettiness, the intensely blue forget-me-not, was there in rich profusion.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Susan herself was not unlike her posy; sweet and delicate, and full of a
+      certain pastoral grace. Her light and airy figure suited well with a fair
+      mild countenance, breaking into blushes and smiles when she spoke, and set
+      off by bright ringlets of golden hair, parted on her white forehead, and
+      hanging in long curls on her finely-rounded cheeks. Always neat but never
+      fine, gentle, cheerful, and modest, it would be difficult to find a
+      prettier specimen of an English farmer&rsquo;s daughter than Susan Howe. But
+      just now the little damsel wore a look of care not usual to her fair and
+      tranquil features; she seemed, as she was, full of trouble.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Poor William!&rdquo; so ran her thoughts, &ldquo;my father would not even listen to
+      his last letter because it poisoned him with musk. I wonder that William
+      can like that disagreeable smell! and he expects him to come down on the
+      top of the coach, instead of which, he says that he means to purchase a&mdash;a&mdash;(even
+      in her thoughts poor Susan could not master the word, and was obliged to
+      have recourse to the musk-scented billet) britschka&mdash;ay, that&rsquo;s it!&mdash;or
+      a droschky; I wonder what sort of things they are&mdash;and that he only
+      visits us <i>en passant</i> in a tour, for which, town being so empty, and
+      business slack, his employer has given him leave, and in which he is to be
+      accompanied by his friend Monsieur Victor&mdash;Victor&mdash;I can&rsquo;t make
+      out his other name&mdash;an eminent perfumer who lives next door. To think
+      of bringing a Frenchman here, remembering how my father hates the whole
+      nation! Oh dear, dear! And yet I know William. I know why he went, and I
+      do believe, in spite of a little finery and foolishness, and of all the
+      britschkas, and droschkies, and Victors, into the bargain, that he&rsquo;ll be
+      glad to get home again. No place like home! Even in these silly notes that
+      feeling is always at the bottom. Did not I hear a carriage before me? Yes!&mdash;no!&mdash;I
+      can&rsquo;t tell. One takes every thing for the sound of wheels when one is
+      expecting a dear friend!&mdash;And if we can but get him to look, as he
+      used to look, and to be what he used to be, he won&rsquo;t leave us again for
+      all the fine shops in Regent Street, or all the britschkas and droschkies
+      in Christendom. My father is getting old now, and William ought to stay at
+      home,&rdquo; thought the affectionate sister; &ldquo;and I firmly believe that what he
+      ought to do, he will do. Besides which&mdash;surely there <i>is</i> a
+      carriage now.&rdquo; Just as Susan arrived at this point of her cogitations,
+      that sound which had haunted her imagination all the afternoon, the sound
+      of wheels rapidly advancing, became more and more audible, and was
+      suddenly succeeded by a tremendous crash, mixed with men&rsquo;s voices&mdash;one
+      of them her brother&rsquo;s&mdash;venting in two languages (for Monsieur Victor,
+      whatever might be his proficiency in English, had recourse in this
+      emergency to his native tongue) the different ejaculations of anger and
+      astonishment which are pretty sure to accompany an overset: and on turning
+      a corner of the lane, Susan caught her first sight of the britschka or
+      droschky, whichever it might be, that had so much puzzled her simple
+      apprehension, in the shape of a heavy-looking open carriage garnished with
+      head and apron, lying prostrate against a gate-post, of which the wheels
+      had fallen foul. Her brother was fully occupied in disengaging the horses
+      from the traces, in reprimanding his companion for his bad driving, which
+      he declared had occasioned the accident, and in directing him to go for
+      assistance to a cottage half a mile back on the road to Wantage, whilst he
+      himself intimated his intention of proceeding for more help to the Farm;
+      and the obedient Frenchman&mdash;who, notwithstanding the derangement
+      which his coëffure might naturally be expected to have experienced in his
+      tumble, looked, Susan thought, as if his hair were put in paper every
+      night and pomatumed every morning, and as if his whole dapper person were
+      saturated with his own finest essences, a sort of travelling perfumer&rsquo;s
+      shop, a peripatetic pouncet-box&mdash;walked off in the direction
+      indicated, with an air of habitual submission, which showed pretty plainly
+      that, whether as proprietor of the unlucky britschka, or from his own
+      force of character, William was considered as the principal director of
+      the present expedition.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Having sent his comrade off, William Howe, leaving his steeds quietly
+      browsing by the wayside, bent his steps towards home. Susan advanced
+      rapidly to meet him; and in a few seconds the brother and sister were in
+      each other&rsquo;s arms; and, after most affectionate greetings, they sat down
+      by mutual consent upon a piece of felled timber which lay upon the bank&mdash;the
+      lane on one side being bounded by an old coppice&mdash;and began to ask
+      each other the thousand questions so interesting to the children of one
+      house who have been long parted.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Seldom surely has the rough and rugged bark of an unhewed elm had the
+      honour of supporting so perfect an exquisite. Jem Hathaway, the exciseman,
+      had in nothing exaggerated the magnificence of our young Londoner. From
+      shoes which looked as if they had come from Paris in the ambassador&rsquo;s bag,
+      to the curled head and the whiskered and mustachio&rsquo;d countenance, (for the
+      hat which should have been the crown of the finery was wanting&mdash;probably
+      in consequence of the recent overturn,) from top to toe he looked fit for
+      a ball at Almack&rsquo;s, or a fete at Bridgewater House; and, oh! how unsuited
+      to the old-fashioned homestead at Rutherford West! His lower appointments,
+      hose and trousers, were of the finest woven silk; his coat was claret
+      colour, of the latest cut; his waistcoat&mdash;talk of the great peacock,
+      <i>he</i> would have seemed dingy and dusky beside such a splendour of
+      colour!&mdash;his waistcoat literally dazzled poor Susan&rsquo;s eyes; and his
+      rings, and chains, and studs, and brooches, seemed to the wondering girl
+      almost sufficient to stock a jeweller&rsquo;s shop.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      In spite of all this nonsense, it was clear to her from every look and
+      word that she was not mistaken in believing William unchanged in mind and
+      disposition, and that there was a warm and a kind heart beating under the
+      finery. Moreover, she felt that if the unseemly magnificence could once be
+      thrown aside, the whiskers and mustachios cleared away, and his fine manly
+      person reinstated in the rustic costume in which she had been accustomed
+      to see him, her brother would <i>then</i> appear greatly improved in face
+      and figure, taller, more vigorous, and with an expression of intelligence
+      and frankness delightful to behold. But how to get quit of the finery, and
+      the Frenchman, and the britschka? Or how reconcile her father to
+      iniquities so far surpassing even the smell of musk?
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      William, on his part, regarded his sister with unqualified admiration. He
+      had left a laughing blooming girl, he found a delicate and lovely young
+      woman, all the more lovely for the tears that mingled with her smiles,
+      true tokens of a most pure affection.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;And you really are glad to see me, Susy? And my father is well? And here
+      is the old place, looking just as it used to do; house, and ricks, and
+      barnyard, not quite in sight, but one feels that one shall see them at the
+      next turning&mdash;the great coppice right opposite, looking thicker and
+      greener than ever! how often we have gone nutting in that coppice!&mdash;the
+      tall holly at the gate, with the woodbine climbing up, and twisting its
+      sweet garlands round the very topmost spray like a coronet;&mdash;many a
+      time and often have I climbed the holly to twine the flaunting wreath
+      round your straw-bonnet, Miss Susy! And here, on the other side of the
+      hedge, is the very field where Hector and Harebell ran their famous
+      course, and gave their hare fifty turns before they killed her, without
+      ever letting her get out of the stubble. Those were pleasant days, Susan,
+      after all!&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Happy days, dear William!&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;And we shall go nutting again, shall we not?&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Surely, dear brother! Only&rdquo;&mdash;&mdash; And
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Susan suddenly stopped.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Only what, Miss Susy?&rsquo;
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Only I don&rsquo;t see how you can possibly go into the copse in this dress.
+      Think how the brambles would prick and tear, and how that chain would
+      catch in the hazel stems! and as to climbing the holly-tree in that fine
+      tight coat, or beating the stubbles for a hare in those delicate thin
+      shoes, why the thing is out of the question. And I really don&rsquo;t believe,&rdquo;
+       continued Susan, finding it easier to go on than to begin, &ldquo;I really don&rsquo;t
+      believe that either Hector or Harebell would know you if they saw you so
+      decked out.&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      William laughed outright
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t mean to go coursing in these shoes, I assure you, Susy. This is
+      an evening dress. I have a shooting-jacket and all thereunto belonging in
+      the britschka, which will not puzzle either Harebell or Hector, because
+      it&rsquo;s just what they have been used to see me wear.&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Put it on, then, I beseech you?&rdquo; exclaimed Susy; &ldquo;put it on directly!&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Why, I am not going coursing this evening.&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;No&mdash;but my father!&mdash;Oh, dear William! if you did but know how
+      he hates finery, and foreigners, and whiskers, and britschkas! Oh, dear
+      William, send off the French gentleman and the outlandish carriage&mdash;run
+      into the coppice and put on the shooting-dress!&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Oh, Susan!&rdquo; began William; but Susan having once summoned up courage
+      sufficient to put her remonstrances into words, followed up the attack
+      with an earnestness that did not admit a moment&rsquo;s interruption.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;My father hates finery even more than Harebell or Hector would do. You
+      know his country notions, dear William; and I think that latterly he has
+      hated everything that looks Londonish and new-fangled worse than ever. We
+      are old-fashioned people at Rutherford. There&rsquo;s your pretty old friend
+      Mary Amott can&rsquo;t abide gewgaws any more than my father.&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Mary Arnott! You mean Mrs. Giles. What do I care for her likes and
+      dislikes?&rdquo; exclaimed William, haughtily.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;I mean Mary Arnott, and not Mrs. Giles, and you do care for her likes and
+      dislikes a great deal,&rdquo; replied his sister, with some archness. &ldquo;Poor
+      Mary, when the week before that fixed for the wedding arrived, felt that
+      she <i>could</i> not marry Master Jacob Giles; so she found an opportunity
+      of speaking to him alone, and told him the truth. I even believe, although
+      I have no warrant for saying so, that she confessed she could not love him
+      because she loved another. Master Giles behaved like a wise man, and told
+      her father that it would be very wrong to force her inclinations. He
+      behaved kindly as well as wisely, for he endeavoured to reconcile all
+      parties, and put matters in train for the wedding that had hindered his.
+      This at that time Master Arnott would not hear of, and therefore we did
+      not tell you that the marriage which you took for granted had gone off.
+      Till about three months ago, that odious lawsuit was in full action, and
+      Master Arnott as violently set against my father as ever. Then, however,
+      he was taken ill, and, upon his deathbed, he sent for his old friend,
+      begged his pardon, and appointed him guardian to Mary. And there she is at
+      home&mdash;for she would not come to meet you&mdash;but there she is,
+      hoping to find you just what you were when you went away, and hating
+      Frenchmen, and britschkas, and finery, and the smell of musk, just as if
+      she were my father&rsquo;s daughter in good earnest. And now, dear William, I
+      know what has been passing in your mind, quite as well as if hearts were
+      peep-shows, and one could see to the bottom of them at the rate of a penny
+      a look. I know that you went away for love of Mary, and flung yourself
+      into the finery of London to try to get rid of the thought of her, and
+      came down with all this nonsense of britschkas, and whiskers, and
+      waistcoats, and rings, just to show her what a beau she had lost in losing
+      you&mdash;Did not you, now? Well! don&rsquo;t stand squeezing my hand, but go
+      and meet your French friend, who has got a man, I see, to help to pick up
+      the fallen equipage. Go and get rid of him,&rdquo; quoth Susan.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;How can I?&rdquo; exclaimed William, in laughing perplexity.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Give him the britschka!&rdquo; responded his sister, &ldquo;and send them off
+      together as fast as may be. That will be a magnificent farewell. And then
+      take your portmanteau into the copse, and change all this trumpery for the
+      shooting-jacket and its belongings; and then come back and let me trim
+      these whiskers as closely as scissors can trim them, and then we&rsquo;ll go to
+      the farm, to gladden the hearts of Harebell, Hector, my dear father, and&mdash;somebody
+      else; and it will not be that somebody&rsquo;s fault if ever you go to London
+      again, or get into a britschka, or put on a chain, or a ring, or write
+      with blue ink upon pink paper, as long as you live. Now go and dismiss the
+      Frenchman,&rdquo; added Susan, laughing, &ldquo;and well walk home together the
+      happiest brother and sister in Christendom.&rdquo;

+TOWN VERSUS COUNTRY.
+
+By Mary Russell Mitford
+
+
+"I'm desperately afear'd, Sue, that that brother of thine will turn out
+a jackanapes," was the apostrophe of the good yeoman Michael Howe, to
+his pretty daughter Susan, as they were walking one fine afternoon in
+harvest through some narrow and richly wooded lanes, which wound
+between the crofts of his farm of Rutherford West, situate in that
+out-of-the-way part of Berkshire which is emphatically called "the Low
+Country," for no better reason that I can discover than that it is the
+very hilliest part of the royal county. "I'm sadly afear'd, Sue, that
+he'll turn out a jackanapes!"--and the stout farmer brandished the tall
+paddle which served him at once as a walking stick and a weeding-hook,
+and began vigorously eradicating the huge thistles which grew by the
+roadside, as a mere vent for his vexation. "You'll see that he'll come
+back an arrant puppy," quoth Michael Howe.
+
+"Oh, father! don't say so," rejoined Susan, "why should you think so
+hardly of poor William--our own dear William, whom we have not seen
+these three years? What earthly harm has he done?"
+
+"Harm, girl! Look at his letters! You know you're ashamed yourself to
+take 'em of the postman. Pink paper, forsooth, and blue ink, and a seal
+with bits of make-believe gold speckled about in it like a ladybird's
+wings--I hate all make-believes, all shams; they're worse than
+poison;--and stinking of some outlandish scent, so that I'm forced to
+smoke a couple of pipes extra to get rid of the smell; and latterly, as
+if this folly was not enough, he has crammed these precious scrawls into
+a sort of paper-bag, pasted together just as if o' purpose to make us
+pay double postage. Jackanapes did I call him? He's a worse mollycot
+than a woman."
+
+"Dear father, all young men will be foolish one way or another; and you
+know my uncle says, that William is wonderfully steady for so young a
+man, and his master is so well pleased with him, that he is now foreman
+in his great concern. You must pardon a little nonsense in a country
+youth, thrown suddenly into a fine shop in the gayest part of London,
+and with his godfather's legacy coming unexpectedly upon him, and making
+him too rich for a journeyman tradesman. But he's coming to see us now.
+He would have come six months ago, as soon as he got this money, if his
+master could have spared him; and he'll be wiser before he goes back to
+London."
+
+"Not he. Hang; Lunnon! Why did he go to Lunnon at all? Why could not he
+stop at Rutherford like his father and his father's father, and see to
+the farm? What business had he in a great shop?--a man-mercer's they
+call it. What call had he to Lunnon, I say? Tell me that, Miss Susan.
+
+"Why, dear father, you know very well that when Master George Arnot was
+so unluckily obstinate about the affair of the water-course, and would
+go to law with you, and swore that instead of marrying William, poor
+Mary should be married to the rich maltster old Jacob Giles, William,
+who had loved Mary ever since they were children together, could not
+bear to stay in the country, and went off to my uncle, forbidding me
+ever to mention her name in a letter; and,--" "Well! well!" rejoined the
+father, somewhat softened, "but he need not have turned puppy and
+coxcomb because he was crossed in love. Pshaw!" added the good farmer,
+giving a mighty tug with his paddle at a tough mullein which happened to
+stand in his way, "I was crossed in love myself, in my young days,
+but I did not run off and turn tailor. I made up plump to another
+wench--your poor mother, Susan, that's dead and gone--and carried her
+off like a man; married her in a month, girl; and that's what Will
+should have done. I'm afear'd we shall find him a sad jackanapes. Jem
+Hathaway, the gauger, told me last market-day that he saw him one Sunday
+in the what-dye-call't--the Park there, covered with rings, and gold
+chains, and fine velvets--all green and gold, like our great peacock.
+Well! we shall soon see. He comes to-night, you say? 'Tis not above six
+o'clock by the sun, and the Wantage coach don't come in till seven. Even
+if they lend him a horse and cart at the Nag's Head, he can't be here
+these two hours. So I shall just see the ten acre field cleared, and be
+home time enough to shake him by the hand if he comes like a man, or
+to kick him out of doors if he looks like a dandy." And off strode the
+stout yeoman in his clouted shoes, his leather gaiters, and smockfrock,
+and a beard (it was Friday) of six days' growth; looking altogether
+prodigiously like a man who would keep his word.
+
+Susan, on her part, continued to thread the narrow winding lanes that
+led towards Wantage; walking leisurely along, and forming as she went,
+half unconsciously, a nosegay of the wild flowers of the season; the
+delicate hare-bell, the lingering wood-vetch, the blue scabious, the
+heaths which clustered on the bank, the tall graceful lilac campanula,
+the snowy bells of the bindweed, the latest briar-rose, and that
+species of clematis, which, perhaps, because it generally indicates
+the neighbourhood of houses, has won for itself the pretty name of the
+traveller's joy, whilst that loveliest of wild flowers, whose name is
+now sentimentalised out of prettiness, the intensely blue forget-me-not,
+was there in rich profusion.
+
+Susan herself was not unlike her posy; sweet and delicate, and full of
+a certain pastoral grace. Her light and airy figure suited well with a
+fair mild countenance, breaking into blushes and smiles when she spoke,
+and set off by bright ringlets of golden hair, parted on her white
+forehead, and hanging in long curls on her finely-rounded cheeks. Always
+neat but never fine, gentle, cheerful, and modest, it would be difficult
+to find a prettier specimen of an English farmer's daughter than Susan
+Howe. But just now the little damsel wore a look of care not usual to
+her fair and tranquil features; she seemed, as she was, full of trouble.
+
+"Poor William!" so ran her thoughts, "my father would not even listen
+to his last letter because it poisoned him with musk. I wonder that
+William can like that disagreeable smell! and he expects him to come
+down on the top of the coach, instead of which, he says that he means
+to purchase a--a--(even in her thoughts poor Susan could not master
+the word, and was obliged to have recourse to the musk-scented billet)
+britschka--ay, that's it!--or a droschky; I wonder what sort of things
+they are--and that he only visits us _en passant_ in a tour, for which,
+town being so empty, and business slack, his employer has given him
+leave, and in which he is to be accompanied by his friend Monsieur
+Victor--Victor--I can't make out his other name--an eminent perfumer who
+lives next door. To think of bringing a Frenchman here, remembering how
+my father hates the whole nation! Oh dear, dear! And yet I know William.
+I know why he went, and I do believe, in spite of a little finery and
+foolishness, and of all the britschkas, and droschkies, and Victors,
+into the bargain, that he'll be glad to get home again. No place like
+home! Even in these silly notes that feeling is always at the bottom.
+Did not I hear a carriage before me? Yes!--no!--I can't tell. One
+takes every thing for the sound of wheels when one is expecting a dear
+friend!--And if we can but get him to look, as he used to look, and to
+be what he used to be, he won't leave us again for all the fine shops in
+Regent Street, or all the britschkas and droschkies in Christendom. My
+father is getting old now, and William ought to stay at home," thought
+the affectionate sister; "and I firmly believe that what he ought to do,
+he will do. Besides which--surely there _is_ a carriage now." Just as
+Susan arrived at this point of her cogitations, that sound which had
+haunted her imagination all the afternoon, the sound of wheels rapidly
+advancing, became more and more audible, and was suddenly succeeded by
+a tremendous crash, mixed with men's voices--one of them her
+brother's--venting in two languages (for Monsieur Victor, whatever might
+be his proficiency in English, had recourse in this emergency to his
+native tongue) the different ejaculations of anger and astonishment
+which are pretty sure to accompany an overset: and on turning a corner
+of the lane, Susan caught her first sight of the britschka or droschky,
+whichever it might be, that had so much puzzled her simple apprehension,
+in the shape of a heavy-looking open carriage garnished with head and
+apron, lying prostrate against a gate-post, of which the wheels had
+fallen foul. Her brother was fully occupied in disengaging the horses
+from the traces, in reprimanding his companion for his bad driving,
+which he declared had occasioned the accident, and in directing him to
+go for assistance to a cottage half a mile back on the road to Wantage,
+whilst he himself intimated his intention of proceeding for more help
+to the Farm; and the obedient Frenchman--who, notwithstanding the
+derangement which his coeffure might naturally be expected to have
+experienced in his tumble, looked, Susan thought, as if his hair were
+put in paper every night and pomatumed every morning, and as if his
+whole dapper person were saturated with his own finest essences, a sort
+of travelling perfumer's shop, a peripatetic pouncet-box--walked off
+in the direction indicated, with an air of habitual submission, which
+showed pretty plainly that, whether as proprietor of the unlucky
+britschka, or from his own force of character, William was considered as
+the principal director of the present expedition.
+
+Having sent his comrade off, William Howe, leaving his steeds quietly
+browsing by the wayside, bent his steps towards home. Susan advanced
+rapidly to meet him; and in a few seconds the brother and sister were in
+each other's arms; and, after most affectionate greetings, they sat
+down by mutual consent upon a piece of felled timber which lay upon the
+bank--the lane on one side being bounded by an old coppice--and began to
+ask each other the thousand questions so interesting to the children of
+one house who have been long parted.
+
+Seldom surely has the rough and rugged bark of an unhewed elm had
+the honour of supporting so perfect an exquisite. Jem Hathaway, the
+exciseman, had in nothing exaggerated the magnificence of our young
+Londoner. From shoes which looked as if they had come from Paris in the
+ambassador's bag, to the curled head and the whiskered and mustachio'd
+countenance, (for the hat which should have been the crown of the finery
+was wanting--probably in consequence of the recent overturn,) from top
+to toe he looked fit for a ball at Almack's, or a fete at Bridgewater
+House; and, oh! how unsuited to the old-fashioned homestead at
+Rutherford West! His lower appointments, hose and trousers, were of the
+finest woven silk; his coat was claret colour, of the latest cut; his
+waistcoat--talk of the great peacock, _he_ would have seemed dingy
+and dusky beside such a splendour of colour!--his waistcoat literally
+dazzled poor Susan's eyes; and his rings, and chains, and studs, and
+brooches, seemed to the wondering girl almost sufficient to stock a
+jeweller's shop.
+
+In spite of all this nonsense, it was clear to her from every look and
+word that she was not mistaken in believing William unchanged in mind
+and disposition, and that there was a warm and a kind heart beating
+under the finery. Moreover, she felt that if the unseemly magnificence
+could once be thrown aside, the whiskers and mustachios cleared away,
+and his fine manly person reinstated in the rustic costume in which she
+had been accustomed to see him, her brother would _then_ appear
+greatly improved in face and figure, taller, more vigorous, and with an
+expression of intelligence and frankness delightful to behold. But how
+to get quit of the finery, and the Frenchman, and the britschka? Or how
+reconcile her father to iniquities so far surpassing even the smell of
+musk?
+
+William, on his part, regarded his sister with unqualified admiration.
+He had left a laughing blooming girl, he found a delicate and lovely
+young woman, all the more lovely for the tears that mingled with her
+smiles, true tokens of a most pure affection.
+
+"And you really are glad to see me, Susy? And my father is well? And
+here is the old place, looking just as it used to do; house, and ricks,
+and barnyard, not quite in sight, but one feels that one shall see them
+at the next turning--the great coppice right opposite, looking
+thicker and greener than ever! how often we have gone nutting in that
+coppice!--the tall holly at the gate, with the woodbine climbing up,
+and twisting its sweet garlands round the very topmost spray like a
+coronet;--many a time and often have I climbed the holly to twine the
+flaunting wreath round your straw-bonnet, Miss Susy! And here, on the
+other side of the hedge, is the very field where Hector and Harebell ran
+their famous course, and gave their hare fifty turns before they
+killed her, without ever letting her get out of the stubble. Those were
+pleasant days, Susan, after all!"
+
+"Happy days, dear William!"
+
+"And we shall go nutting again, shall we not?"
+
+"Surely, dear brother! Only"---- And
+
+Susan suddenly stopped.
+
+"Only what, Miss Susy?'
+
+"Only I don't see how you can possibly go into the copse in this dress.
+Think how the brambles would prick and tear, and how that chain would
+catch in the hazel stems! and as to climbing the holly-tree in that fine
+tight coat, or beating the stubbles for a hare in those delicate
+thin shoes, why the thing is out of the question. And I really don't
+believe," continued Susan, finding it easier to go on than to begin,
+"I really don't believe that either Hector or Harebell would know you if
+they saw you so decked out."
+
+William laughed outright
+
+"I don't mean to go coursing in these shoes, I assure you, Susy. This is
+an evening dress. I have a shooting-jacket and all thereunto belonging
+in the britschka, which will not puzzle either Harebell or Hector,
+because it's just what they have been used to see me wear."
+
+"Put it on, then, I beseech you?" exclaimed Susy; "put it on directly!"
+
+"Why, I am not going coursing this evening."
+
+"No--but my father!--Oh, dear William! if you did but know how he hates
+finery, and foreigners, and whiskers, and britschkas! Oh, dear William,
+send off the French gentleman and the outlandish carriage--run into the
+coppice and put on the shooting-dress!"
+
+"Oh, Susan!" began William; but Susan having once summoned up courage
+sufficient to put her remonstrances into words, followed up the attack
+with an earnestness that did not admit a moment's interruption.
+
+"My father hates finery even more than Harebell or Hector would do. You
+know his country notions, dear William; and I think that latterly he has
+hated everything that looks Londonish and new-fangled worse than ever.
+We are old-fashioned people at Rutherford. There's your pretty old
+friend Mary Amott can't abide gewgaws any more than my father."
+
+"Mary Arnott! You mean Mrs. Giles. What do I care for her likes and
+dislikes?" exclaimed William, haughtily.
+
+"I mean Mary Arnott, and not Mrs. Giles, and you do care for her likes
+and dislikes a great deal," replied his sister, with some archness.
+"Poor Mary, when the week before that fixed for the wedding arrived,
+felt that she _could_ not marry Master Jacob Giles; so she found an
+opportunity of speaking to him alone, and told him the truth. I even
+believe, although I have no warrant for saying so, that she confessed
+she could not love him because she loved another. Master Giles behaved
+like a wise man, and told her father that it would be very wrong to
+force her inclinations. He behaved kindly as well as wisely, for he
+endeavoured to reconcile all parties, and put matters in train for the
+wedding that had hindered his. This at that time Master Arnott would not
+hear of, and therefore we did not tell you that the marriage which you
+took for granted had gone off. Till about three months ago, that odious
+lawsuit was in full action, and Master Arnott as violently set against
+my father as ever. Then, however, he was taken ill, and, upon his
+deathbed, he sent for his old friend, begged his pardon, and appointed
+him guardian to Mary. And there she is at home--for she would not come
+to meet you--but there she is, hoping to find you just what you were
+when you went away, and hating Frenchmen, and britschkas, and finery,
+and the smell of musk, just as if she were my father's daughter in good
+earnest. And now, dear William, I know what has been passing in your
+mind, quite as well as if hearts were peep-shows, and one could see to
+the bottom of them at the rate of a penny a look. I know that you went
+away for love of Mary, and flung yourself into the finery of London
+to try to get rid of the thought of her, and came down with all this
+nonsense of britschkas, and whiskers, and waistcoats, and rings, just to
+show her what a beau she had lost in losing you--Did not you, now? Well!
+don't stand squeezing my hand, but go and meet your French friend, who
+has got a man, I see, to help to pick up the fallen equipage. Go and get
+rid of him," quoth Susan.
+
+"How can I?" exclaimed William, in laughing perplexity.
+
+"Give him the britschka!" responded his sister, "and send them off
+together as fast as may be. That will be a magnificent farewell. And
+then take your portmanteau into the copse, and change all this trumpery
+for the shooting-jacket and its belongings; and then come back and let
+me trim these whiskers as closely as scissors can trim them, and then
+we'll go to the farm, to gladden the hearts of Harebell, Hector, my dear
+father, and--somebody else; and it will not be that somebody's fault if
+ever you go to London again, or get into a britschka, or put on a chain,
+or a ring, or write with blue ink upon pink paper, as long as you live.
+Now go and dismiss the Frenchman," added Susan, laughing, "and well
+walk home together the happiest brother and sister in Christendom."

+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be

+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in

+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the

+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.

+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without

+Gutenberg-tm License.

+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you

+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free

+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+    <p>
+      &ldquo;I&rsquo;m desperately afear&rsquo;d, Sue, that that brother of thine will turn out a
+      jackanapes,&rdquo; was the apostrophe of the good yeoman Michael Howe, to his
+      pretty daughter Susan, as they were walking one fine afternoon in harvest
+      through some narrow and richly wooded lanes, which wound between the
+      crofts of his farm of Rutherford West, situate in that out-of-the-way part
+      of Berkshire which is emphatically called &ldquo;the Low Country,&rdquo; for no better
+      reason that I can discover than that it is the very hilliest part of the
+      royal county. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m sadly afear&rsquo;d, Sue, that he&rsquo;ll turn out a jackanapes!&rdquo;&mdash;and
+      the stout farmer brandished the tall paddle which served him at once as a
+      walking stick and a weeding-hook, and began vigorously eradicating the
+      huge thistles which grew by the roadside, as a mere vent for his vexation.
+      &ldquo;You&rsquo;ll see that he&rsquo;ll come back an arrant puppy,&rdquo; quoth Michael Howe.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Oh, father! don&rsquo;t say so,&rdquo; rejoined Susan, &ldquo;why should you think so
+      hardly of poor William&mdash;our own dear William, whom we have not seen
+      these three years? What earthly harm has he done?&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Harm, girl! Look at his letters! You know you&rsquo;re ashamed yourself to take
+      &lsquo;em of the postman. Pink paper, forsooth, and blue ink, and a seal with
+      bits of make-believe gold speckled about in it like a ladybird&rsquo;s wings&mdash;I
+      hate all make-believes, all shams; they&rsquo;re worse than poison;&mdash;and
+      stinking of some outlandish scent, so that I&rsquo;m forced to smoke a couple of
+      pipes extra to get rid of the smell; and latterly, as if this folly was
+      not enough, he has crammed these precious scrawls into a sort of
+      paper-bag, pasted together just as if o&rsquo; purpose to make us pay double
+      postage. Jackanapes did I call him? He&rsquo;s a worse mollycot than a woman.&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Dear father, all young men will be foolish one way or another; and you
+      know my uncle says, that William is wonderfully steady for so young a man,
+      and his master is so well pleased with him, that he is now foreman in his
+      great concern. You must pardon a little nonsense in a country youth,
+      thrown suddenly into a fine shop in the gayest part of London, and with
+      his godfather&rsquo;s legacy coming unexpectedly upon him, and making him too
+      rich for a journeyman tradesman. But he&rsquo;s coming to see us now. He would
+      have come six months ago, as soon as he got this money, if his master
+      could have spared him; and he&rsquo;ll be wiser before he goes back to London.&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Not he. Hang Lunnon! Why did he go to Lunnon at all? Why could not he
+      stop at Rutherford like his father and his father&rsquo;s father, and see to the
+      farm? What business had he in a great shop?&mdash;a man-mercer&rsquo;s they call
+      it. What call had he to Lunnon, I say? Tell me that, Miss Susan.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Why, dear father, you know very well that when Master George Arnot was so
+      unluckily obstinate about the affair of the water-course, and would go to
+      law with you, and swore that instead of marrying William, poor Mary should
+      be married to the rich maltster old Jacob Giles, William, who had loved
+      Mary ever since they were children together, could not bear to stay in the
+      country, and went off to my uncle, forbidding me ever to mention her name
+      in a letter; and,&mdash;&rdquo; &ldquo;Well! well!&rdquo; rejoined the father, somewhat
+      softened, &ldquo;but he need not have turned puppy and coxcomb because he was
+      crossed in love. Pshaw!&rdquo; added the good farmer, giving a mighty tug with
+      his paddle at a tough mullein which happened to stand in his way, &ldquo;I was
+      crossed in love myself, in my young days, but I did not run off and turn
+      tailor. I made up plump to another wench&mdash;your poor mother, Susan,
+      that&rsquo;s dead and gone&mdash;and carried her off like a man; married her in
+      a month, girl; and that&rsquo;s what Will should have done. I&rsquo;m afear&rsquo;d we shall
+      find him a sad jackanapes. Jem Hathaway, the gauger, told me last
+      market-day that he saw him one Sunday in the what-dye-call&rsquo;t&mdash;the
+      Park there, covered with rings, and gold chains, and fine velvets&mdash;all
+      green and gold, like our great peacock. Well! we shall soon see. He comes
+      to-night, you say? &lsquo;Tis not above six o&rsquo;clock by the sun, and the Wantage
+      coach don&rsquo;t come in till seven. Even if they lend him a horse and cart at
+      the Nag&rsquo;s Head, he can&rsquo;t be here these two hours. So I shall just see the
+      ten acre field cleared, and be home time enough to shake him by the hand
+      if he comes like a man, or to kick him out of doors if he looks like a
+      dandy.&rdquo; And off strode the stout yeoman in his clouted shoes, his leather
+      gaiters, and smockfrock, and a beard (it was Friday) of six days&rsquo; growth;
+      looking altogether prodigiously like a man who would keep his word.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Susan, on her part, continued to thread the narrow winding lanes that led
+      towards Wantage; walking leisurely along, and forming as she went, half
+      unconsciously, a nosegay of the wild flowers of the season; the delicate
+      hare-bell, the lingering wood-vetch, the blue scabious, the heaths which
+      clustered on the bank, the tall graceful lilac campanula, the snowy bells
+      of the bindweed, the latest briar-rose, and that species of clematis,
+      which, perhaps, because it generally indicates the neighbourhood of
+      houses, has won for itself the pretty name of the traveller&rsquo;s joy, whilst
+      that loveliest of wild flowers, whose name is now sentimentalised out of
+      prettiness, the intensely blue forget-me-not, was there in rich profusion.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Susan herself was not unlike her posy; sweet and delicate, and full of a
+      certain pastoral grace. Her light and airy figure suited well with a fair
+      mild countenance, breaking into blushes and smiles when she spoke, and set
+      off by bright ringlets of golden hair, parted on her white forehead, and
+      hanging in long curls on her finely-rounded cheeks. Always neat but never
+      fine, gentle, cheerful, and modest, it would be difficult to find a
+      prettier specimen of an English farmer&rsquo;s daughter than Susan Howe. But
+      just now the little damsel wore a look of care not usual to her fair and
+      tranquil features; she seemed, as she was, full of trouble.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Poor William!&rdquo; so ran her thoughts, &ldquo;my father would not even listen to
+      his last letter because it poisoned him with musk. I wonder that William
+      can like that disagreeable smell! and he expects him to come down on the
+      top of the coach, instead of which, he says that he means to purchase a&mdash;a&mdash;(even
+      in her thoughts poor Susan could not master the word, and was obliged to
+      have recourse to the musk-scented billet) britschka&mdash;ay, that&rsquo;s it!&mdash;or
+      a droschky; I wonder what sort of things they are&mdash;and that he only
+      visits us <i>en passant</i> in a tour, for which, town being so empty, and
+      business slack, his employer has given him leave, and in which he is to be
+      accompanied by his friend Monsieur Victor&mdash;Victor&mdash;I can&rsquo;t make
+      out his other name&mdash;an eminent perfumer who lives next door. To think
+      of bringing a Frenchman here, remembering how my father hates the whole
+      nation! Oh dear, dear! And yet I know William. I know why he went, and I
+      do believe, in spite of a little finery and foolishness, and of all the
+      britschkas, and droschkies, and Victors, into the bargain, that he&rsquo;ll be
+      glad to get home again. No place like home! Even in these silly notes that
+      feeling is always at the bottom. Did not I hear a carriage before me? Yes!&mdash;no!&mdash;I
+      can&rsquo;t tell. One takes every thing for the sound of wheels when one is
+      expecting a dear friend!&mdash;And if we can but get him to look, as he
+      used to look, and to be what he used to be, he won&rsquo;t leave us again for
+      all the fine shops in Regent Street, or all the britschkas and droschkies
+      in Christendom. My father is getting old now, and William ought to stay at
+      home,&rdquo; thought the affectionate sister; &ldquo;and I firmly believe that what he
+      ought to do, he will do. Besides which&mdash;surely there <i>is</i> a
+      carriage now.&rdquo; Just as Susan arrived at this point of her cogitations,
+      that sound which had haunted her imagination all the afternoon, the sound
+      of wheels rapidly advancing, became more and more audible, and was
+      suddenly succeeded by a tremendous crash, mixed with men&rsquo;s voices&mdash;one
+      of them her brother&rsquo;s&mdash;venting in two languages (for Monsieur Victor,
+      whatever might be his proficiency in English, had recourse in this
+      emergency to his native tongue) the different ejaculations of anger and
+      astonishment which are pretty sure to accompany an overset: and on turning
+      a corner of the lane, Susan caught her first sight of the britschka or
+      droschky, whichever it might be, that had so much puzzled her simple
+      apprehension, in the shape of a heavy-looking open carriage garnished with
+      head and apron, lying prostrate against a gate-post, of which the wheels
+      had fallen foul. Her brother was fully occupied in disengaging the horses
+      from the traces, in reprimanding his companion for his bad driving, which
+      he declared had occasioned the accident, and in directing him to go for
+      assistance to a cottage half a mile back on the road to Wantage, whilst he
+      himself intimated his intention of proceeding for more help to the Farm;
+      and the obedient Frenchman&mdash;who, notwithstanding the derangement
+      which his coëffure might naturally be expected to have experienced in his
+      tumble, looked, Susan thought, as if his hair were put in paper every
+      night and pomatumed every morning, and as if his whole dapper person were
+      saturated with his own finest essences, a sort of travelling perfumer&rsquo;s
+      shop, a peripatetic pouncet-box&mdash;walked off in the direction
+      indicated, with an air of habitual submission, which showed pretty plainly
+      that, whether as proprietor of the unlucky britschka, or from his own
+      force of character, William was considered as the principal director of
+      the present expedition.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Having sent his comrade off, William Howe, leaving his steeds quietly
+      browsing by the wayside, bent his steps towards home. Susan advanced
+      rapidly to meet him; and in a few seconds the brother and sister were in
+      each other&rsquo;s arms; and, after most affectionate greetings, they sat down
+      by mutual consent upon a piece of felled timber which lay upon the bank&mdash;the
+      lane on one side being bounded by an old coppice&mdash;and began to ask
+      each other the thousand questions so interesting to the children of one
+      house who have been long parted.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Seldom surely has the rough and rugged bark of an unhewed elm had the
+      honour of supporting so perfect an exquisite. Jem Hathaway, the exciseman,
+      had in nothing exaggerated the magnificence of our young Londoner. From
+      shoes which looked as if they had come from Paris in the ambassador&rsquo;s bag,
+      to the curled head and the whiskered and mustachio&rsquo;d countenance, (for the
+      hat which should have been the crown of the finery was wanting&mdash;probably
+      in consequence of the recent overturn,) from top to toe he looked fit for
+      a ball at Almack&rsquo;s, or a fete at Bridgewater House; and, oh! how unsuited
+      to the old-fashioned homestead at Rutherford West! His lower appointments,
+      hose and trousers, were of the finest woven silk; his coat was claret
+      colour, of the latest cut; his waistcoat&mdash;talk of the great peacock,
+      <i>he</i> would have seemed dingy and dusky beside such a splendour of
+      colour!&mdash;his waistcoat literally dazzled poor Susan&rsquo;s eyes; and his
+      rings, and chains, and studs, and brooches, seemed to the wondering girl
+      almost sufficient to stock a jeweller&rsquo;s shop.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      In spite of all this nonsense, it was clear to her from every look and
+      word that she was not mistaken in believing William unchanged in mind and
+      disposition, and that there was a warm and a kind heart beating under the
+      finery. Moreover, she felt that if the unseemly magnificence could once be
+      thrown aside, the whiskers and mustachios cleared away, and his fine manly
+      person reinstated in the rustic costume in which she had been accustomed
+      to see him, her brother would <i>then</i> appear greatly improved in face
+      and figure, taller, more vigorous, and with an expression of intelligence
+      and frankness delightful to behold. But how to get quit of the finery, and
+      the Frenchman, and the britschka? Or how reconcile her father to
+      iniquities so far surpassing even the smell of musk?
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      William, on his part, regarded his sister with unqualified admiration. He
+      had left a laughing blooming girl, he found a delicate and lovely young
+      woman, all the more lovely for the tears that mingled with her smiles,
+      true tokens of a most pure affection.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;And you really are glad to see me, Susy? And my father is well? And here
+      is the old place, looking just as it used to do; house, and ricks, and
+      barnyard, not quite in sight, but one feels that one shall see them at the
+      next turning&mdash;the great coppice right opposite, looking thicker and
+      greener than ever! how often we have gone nutting in that coppice!&mdash;the
+      tall holly at the gate, with the woodbine climbing up, and twisting its
+      sweet garlands round the very topmost spray like a coronet;&mdash;many a
+      time and often have I climbed the holly to twine the flaunting wreath
+      round your straw-bonnet, Miss Susy! And here, on the other side of the
+      hedge, is the very field where Hector and Harebell ran their famous
+      course, and gave their hare fifty turns before they killed her, without
+      ever letting her get out of the stubble. Those were pleasant days, Susan,
+      after all!&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Happy days, dear William!&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;And we shall go nutting again, shall we not?&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Surely, dear brother! Only&rdquo;&mdash;&mdash; And
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Susan suddenly stopped.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Only what, Miss Susy?&rsquo;
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Only I don&rsquo;t see how you can possibly go into the copse in this dress.
+      Think how the brambles would prick and tear, and how that chain would
+      catch in the hazel stems! and as to climbing the holly-tree in that fine
+      tight coat, or beating the stubbles for a hare in those delicate thin
+      shoes, why the thing is out of the question. And I really don&rsquo;t believe,&rdquo;
+       continued Susan, finding it easier to go on than to begin, &ldquo;I really don&rsquo;t
+      believe that either Hector or Harebell would know you if they saw you so
+      decked out.&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      William laughed outright
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t mean to go coursing in these shoes, I assure you, Susy. This is
+      an evening dress. I have a shooting-jacket and all thereunto belonging in
+      the britschka, which will not puzzle either Harebell or Hector, because
+      it&rsquo;s just what they have been used to see me wear.&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Put it on, then, I beseech you?&rdquo; exclaimed Susy; &ldquo;put it on directly!&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Why, I am not going coursing this evening.&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;No&mdash;but my father!&mdash;Oh, dear William! if you did but know how
+      he hates finery, and foreigners, and whiskers, and britschkas! Oh, dear
+      William, send off the French gentleman and the outlandish carriage&mdash;run
+      into the coppice and put on the shooting-dress!&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Oh, Susan!&rdquo; began William; but Susan having once summoned up courage
+      sufficient to put her remonstrances into words, followed up the attack
+      with an earnestness that did not admit a moment&rsquo;s interruption.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;My father hates finery even more than Harebell or Hector would do. You
+      know his country notions, dear William; and I think that latterly he has
+      hated everything that looks Londonish and new-fangled worse than ever. We
+      are old-fashioned people at Rutherford. There&rsquo;s your pretty old friend
+      Mary Amott can&rsquo;t abide gewgaws any more than my father.&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Mary Arnott! You mean Mrs. Giles. What do I care for her likes and
+      dislikes?&rdquo; exclaimed William, haughtily.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;I mean Mary Arnott, and not Mrs. Giles, and you do care for her likes and
+      dislikes a great deal,&rdquo; replied his sister, with some archness. &ldquo;Poor
+      Mary, when the week before that fixed for the wedding arrived, felt that
+      she <i>could</i> not marry Master Jacob Giles; so she found an opportunity
+      of speaking to him alone, and told him the truth. I even believe, although
+      I have no warrant for saying so, that she confessed she could not love him
+      because she loved another. Master Giles behaved like a wise man, and told
+      her father that it would be very wrong to force her inclinations. He
+      behaved kindly as well as wisely, for he endeavoured to reconcile all
+      parties, and put matters in train for the wedding that had hindered his.
+      This at that time Master Arnott would not hear of, and therefore we did
+      not tell you that the marriage which you took for granted had gone off.
+      Till about three months ago, that odious lawsuit was in full action, and
+      Master Arnott as violently set against my father as ever. Then, however,
+      he was taken ill, and, upon his deathbed, he sent for his old friend,
+      begged his pardon, and appointed him guardian to Mary. And there she is at
+      home&mdash;for she would not come to meet you&mdash;but there she is,
+      hoping to find you just what you were when you went away, and hating
+      Frenchmen, and britschkas, and finery, and the smell of musk, just as if
+      she were my father&rsquo;s daughter in good earnest. And now, dear William, I
+      know what has been passing in your mind, quite as well as if hearts were
+      peep-shows, and one could see to the bottom of them at the rate of a penny
+      a look. I know that you went away for love of Mary, and flung yourself
+      into the finery of London to try to get rid of the thought of her, and
+      came down with all this nonsense of britschkas, and whiskers, and
+      waistcoats, and rings, just to show her what a beau she had lost in losing
+      you&mdash;Did not you, now? Well! don&rsquo;t stand squeezing my hand, but go
+      and meet your French friend, who has got a man, I see, to help to pick up
+      the fallen equipage. Go and get rid of him,&rdquo; quoth Susan.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;How can I?&rdquo; exclaimed William, in laughing perplexity.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Give him the britschka!&rdquo; responded his sister, &ldquo;and send them off
+      together as fast as may be. That will be a magnificent farewell. And then
+      take your portmanteau into the copse, and change all this trumpery for the
+      shooting-jacket and its belongings; and then come back and let me trim
+      these whiskers as closely as scissors can trim them, and then we&rsquo;ll go to
+      the farm, to gladden the hearts of Harebell, Hector, my dear father, and&mdash;somebody
+      else; and it will not be that somebody&rsquo;s fault if ever you go to London
+      again, or get into a britschka, or put on a chain, or a ring, or write
+      with blue ink upon pink paper, as long as you live. Now go and dismiss the
+      Frenchman,&rdquo; added Susan, laughing, &ldquo;and well walk home together the
+      happiest brother and sister in Christendom.&rdquo;

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm&rsquo;s
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
