My Lady Ludlow

CHAPTER XIV
24/44

So there are two marriages, and what more would you have?
And she promises to take another of my kittens.
'Now, as to deaths, old Farmer Hale is dead--poor old man, I should think his wife thought it a good riddance, for he beat her every day that he was drunk, and he was never sober, in spite of Mr.Gray.

I don't think (as I tell him) that Mr.Gray would ever have found courage to speak to Bessy as long as Farmer Hale lived, he took the old gentleman's sins so much to heart, and seemed to think it was all his fault for not being able to make a sinner into a saint.

The parish bull is dead too.

I never was so glad in my life.

But they say we are to have a new one in his place.
