Lovell, I’m glad to see you: how’s the missus and the children? What weather it is!” “I suppose you guess, Master Fitchew, what I’ve come about: you’ve had this bill twice—I send my bills out only once a year—and you’ve not paid a penny.” Fitchew looks on the ground, and gives his head a shake on one side as if he were mortified beyond measure.

Lovell, £10 you shall have next Saturday fortnight as sure as my name’s Bill Fitchew.” A little girl, about eight years old, who was hurried into her white, Sunday frock with red ribbons, as soon as her mother saw my uncle at the gate, runs up towards him according to secret instructions, but stops short by about a yard, puts her forefinger on her lip and looks at him.

Fitchew, appearing suddenly at the side door as if she had come to fetch her child who had run out unawares.

After much hesitation: “Keziah Fitchew, sir.” “Are you a good little girl? Do you say your prayers every morning and every evening?” “Yes, sir.” “Would you know what to do with sixpence if I gave it you? You’d put it in the missionary box, wouldn’t you?” Keziah thinks, but does not reply.
