The Squire of Sandal-Side

CHAPTER VII
46/46

We laugh at a wedding, we cry at a burying, a christening brings us a feast.

On the Sabbath we say our litany; and as for the rest of the year, one day marrows another." "Well, well, William Sandal! Maybe we will both feel better after a night's sleep.

To-morrow is untouched." And the squire, looking into her pale, placid face, had not the heart to speak out his thought, which was, "Nay, nay; we have mortgaged to-morrow.

Debt and fear, and the penalties of over-work and over-eating and over-feeling, will be dogging us for their dues by dayshine.".
