But, really, I have tried to do a great deal for her.

While you were away I used to send clothing to your wife for her, so that the child might be able always to make a proper appearance at school." "Yes, ma'am, so you did," said the cobbler, "an' it's a shame that I should ask anythin' else of you, for I know you're generous-hearted, an' the Lord knows there's enough other poor an' wretched people in this town that needs lookin' after, an' I know you're doin' a good deal for all of 'em.

But this ain't a matter of poverty, Mrs.Prency; it goes a good deal deeper than that.

I'm not thinkin' about her appearance; she's better dressed now than she ort to be, though I don't think she shows much good taste in what she buys to put on her.

But I want to have somebody take some interest in her that'll make her change her thoughts an' feelin's about the way she's livin' an' the kind o' company she's keepin'." The judge's wife looked thoughtful, and Sam contemplated her with wistful eyes.
