I could never see into men's business as sister Glegg does." "Well, you're like me in that, Bessy," said Mrs.Pullet; "and I think it 'ud be a deal more becoming o' Jane if she'd have that pier-glass rubbed oftener,--there was ever so many spots on it last week,--instead o' dictating to folks as have more comings in than she ever had, and telling 'em what they're to do with their money.

But Jane and me were allays contrairy; she _would_ have striped things, and I like spots.

You like a spot too, Bessy; we allays hung together i' that." "Yes, Sophy," said Mrs.Tulliver, "I remember our having a blue ground with a white spot both alike,--I've got a bit in a bed-quilt now; and if you would but go and see sister Glegg, and persuade her to make it up with Tulliver, I should take it very kind of you.

You was allays a good sister to me." "But the right thing 'ud be for Tulliver to go and make it up with her himself, and say he was sorry for speaking so rash.

If he's borrowed money of her, he shouldn't be above that," said Mrs.Pullet, whose partiality did not blind her to principles; she did not forget what was due to people of independent fortune.
"It's no use talking o' that," said poor Mrs.Tulliver, almost peevishly.
