summary:
  Other old houses in the neighbourhood of Beaminster are _Strode_, _Melplash_ and _Mapperton_, and the whole district bears the marks of long and prosperous agricultural occupation in the old-fashioned days when squire and tenant lived and died in semi-feudal relationship on the estate which the one owned and the other rented. They say that He lives upon human flesh, and has rashers o' baby every morning for breakfast--for all the world like the Cernel Giant in old ancient times!

  An' there they meäde sich stunnèn clatters Wi' knives an' forks, an' pleätes an' platters; An' waïters ran, an' beer did pass Vrom tap to jug, vrom jug to glass: An' when they took away the dishes, They drink'd good healths, an' wish'd good wishes, To all the girt vo'k o' the land, An' all good things vo'k took in hand; An' woone cried _hip, hip, hip!_ Zoo then, when _Water_ had a-meäde Zome money, _Äir_ begrudg'd his treäde, An' come by, unaweäres woone night, An' vound en at his own mill-head, An' cast upon en, iron-tight, An icy cwoat so stiff as lead.

summary:
  The doctor and the organist gave effect to the presentation by a nod, and something like a shrug of the shoulders, which deprecated the Rector's conceited pomposity, and implied that if such an exceedingly unlikely contingency as their making friends with Mr Westray should ever happen, it would certainly not be due to any introduction of Canon Parkyn. Put on some more coal, Mr Westray; it is a sinful luxury, a fire in September, and coal at twenty-five shillings a ton; but we must have _some_ festivity to inaugurate the restoration and your advent.

  She followed his gaze, and saw walking across to him a flexible young creature in whom she perceived the features of her she had known as Miss Grace Melbury, but now looking glorified and refined above her former level. This had been tied across the gig; and as it would be left behind in the town, it would cause no inconvenience to Miss Grace Melbury coming home.
