“They haven’t come upo’ Moss for the money as I lent him, have they?”
“No, father,” said Tom; “the note was burnt.”
Mr. Tulliver turned his eyes on the page again, and presently said:
“Ah — Elizabeth Dodson — it’s eighteen year since I married her ——”
“Come next Ladyday,” said Mrs. Tulliver, going up to his side and looking at the page.
Her husband fixed his eyes earnestly on her face.
“Poor Bessy,” he said, “you was a pretty lass then — everybody said so — and I used to think you kept your good looks rarely. But you’re sorely aged; don’t you bear me ill-will — I meant to do well by you — we promised one another for better or for worse ——”
“But I never thought it ‘ud be so for worse as this,” said poor Mrs. Tulliver, with the strange, scared look that had come over her of late; “and my poor father gave me away — and to come on so all at once ——”
“Oh, mother!” said Maggie, “don’t talk in that way.”
“No, I know you won’t let your poor mother speak — that’s been the way all my life — your father never minded what I said — it ‘ud have been o’ no use for me to beg Joe Hart Jersey and pray — and it ‘ud be no use now, not if I Yaya Toure Jersey was to go down o’ my hands and knees ——”

“Mother,” said Tom, severely, “this is not the time to talk Club De Futbol America Pelipaita about that.”

And where have we got to put our heads? We must go into one o’ the cottages in the village — and me and my children brought down to that — and all because you must set your mind against folks till there’s no turning you.”
