Yer teeth baint half gone yet; and what’s a old man’s standing if so be his teeth baint gone? Weren’t I stale in wedlock afore ye were out of arms? ’Tis a poor thing to be sixty, when there’s people far past four-score—a boast weak as water.” It was the unvarying custom in Weatherbury to sink minor differences when the maltster had to be pacified.
