‘I have no wrong, where I can claim no right,
Naught1 ta’en me fro, where I have nothing had,
Yet of my woe2 I cannot so be quite;
Namely, since that another may be glad
With that, that thus in sorrow makes me sad.’
WYATT.
Margaret had not expected much pleasure to herself from Mr. Bell’s visit — she had only looked forward to it on her father’s account, but when her godfather came, she at once fell into the most natural position of friendship in the world. He said she had no merit in being what she was, a girl so entirely3 after his own heart; it was an hereditary4 power which she had, to walk in and take possession of his regard; while she, in reply, gave him much credit for being so fresh and young under his Fellow’s cap and gown.
‘Fresh and young in warmth and kindness, I mean. I’m afraid I must own, that I think your opinions are the oldest and mustiest I have met with this long time.’
‘Hear this daughter of yours, Hale Her residence in Milton has quite corrupted5 her. She’s a democrat6, a red republican, a member of the Peace Society, a socialist7 —’
‘Papa, it’s all because I’m standing8 up for the progress of commerce. Mr. Bell would have had it keep still at exchanging wild-beast skins for acorns9.’
‘No, no. I’d dig the ground and grow potatoes. And I’d shave the wild-beast skins and make the wool into broad cloth. Don’t exaggerate, missy. But I’m tired of this
