  Mr. Sharpley was a man not overburdened--in fact, not burdened at all--with principle, but he could make himself personally more agreeable than Mr. Craven, nor did Frank feel for him the instinctive aversion which he entertained for his step-father. I thought you would like to see the last companion of poor Frank, returned Mr. Craven, surprised.

summary:
  I have known screw piles to penetrate hard and dense sand, gravel, soft sandy ground, limy gravel, loose silt, limy clay ground something like marl, stiff mud, chalk, clay, marl, and all kinds of water-deposited soil, and in almost every earth except firm rock, but it is not advisable to use them for anything much harder than fine sandy gravel, for the blades must then be strained very much and the pile and screw may be injured. Pile-driving is different to masonry, and I always read the specification for pile work, and then judge whether and how a bit 'extra' is to be obtained, and guess as to the knowledge of those I have to deal with, and act accordingly.

  'Never you mind, mother,' I says, 'there's neither man nor beast'ud hurt little Phebe.' Why, it's little Phebe Marlowe! cried Mr. Clifford gladly, looking round at the light sound of a footstep, very different from Mrs. Nixey's heavy tread; my dear child, you can't tell what a pleasure this is to me.

summary:
  When he grew old, he dreamed of the will he would make and of the envy with which other old men, when he was gone, should regard the memory of one who had cut up so well. Besides, he who is an artist thinks more than other young men about such things.
