  Does thee know, said Mrs. Crowder, that two or three times I expected thee to say that thee married Sophia? Mr. Crowder laughed. VII Now, my dear, said Mr. Crowder, regarding his wife with a tender kindness which I had frequently noticed in him, just for a change, I know you would like to hear of a career of prosperity, wouldn't you? Indeed, I would! said Mrs. Crowder.

  He was used to seeing Time waste itself upon the changeless man; he had even caught from him a kind of contempt for what other men shrank from as dangers and difficulties. I am old--very old--older than thy father, and there have been so many things to distress me which other men know nothing of, and never can.

Mynheer Poots must have been summoned, and was not in the house; Philip therefore called out so as to be heard within, Maiden, if your father is out, as I presume he must be, listen to what I have to say--I am Philip Vanderdecken.
