For, indeed I am sure that Captain James was not a man to conceal or be ashamed of one of his actions.

I cannot fancy his ever lowering his strong loud clear voice, or having a confidental conversation with any one.

When his crops had failed, all the village had known it.

He complained, he regretted, he was angry, or owned himself a -- - fool, all down the village street; and the consequence was that, although he was a far more passionate man than Mr.Horner, all the tenants liked him far better.

People, in general, take a kindlier interest in any one, the workings of whose mind and heart they can watch and understand, than in a man who only lets you know what he has been thinking about and feeling, by what he does.
