Silas Marner

CHAPTER III
6/22

"Suppose, now, you get the money yourself, and save me the trouble, eh?
Since you was so kind as to hand it over to me, you'll not refuse me the kindness to pay it back for me: it was your brotherly love made you do it, you know." Godfrey bit his lips and clenched his fist.

"Don't come near me with that look, else I'll knock you down." "Oh no, you won't," said Dunsey, turning away on his heel, however.
"Because I'm such a good-natured brother, you know.

I might get you turned out of house and home, and cut off with a shilling any day.

I might tell the Squire how his handsome son was married to that nice young woman, Molly Farren, and was very unhappy because he couldn't live with his drunken wife, and I should slip into your place as comfortable as could be.

But you see, I don't do it--I'm so easy and good-natured.
