I don't think that the leave taking is likely to be an affectionate one." The Rector rose at once.
"I will come with you, Squire.

I may tell you now, what I have not told you before, that my son has more than once raised his hand against me, and that I do not care to be left alone with him." "I judged him capable even of that, Mr.Bastow." "Goodby, Arthur," his father said.

"My heart is ready to break that it has come to this; but for both our sakes it is better so.

Goodby, my son, and may Heaven lead you to better ways! If ever you come to me and say, 'Father, I have turned over a new leaf, and heartily repent the trouble I have caused you,' you will receive a hearty welcome from me, and no words of reproach for the past." The young man paid no attention to the offered hand, but laughed scornfully.
"You have not got rid of me yet," he said.

"As for you, Squire Thorndyke, I shall not forget your meddlesome interference, and some day, maybe, you will be sorry for it." "I think not," John Thorndyke said gravely.
