THREE:"A minister of the Lord," repeated with some severity the man in black, "of the brotherhood named Ebenezer."

THREE:"No, of course not.""D?an't cry," he said slowly��"I'm only looking in at the window."

THREE:"What! think you, sir treasurer," asked De Boteler, "that the knaves, vile as they are, would harm his grace?""It's settled him anyhow," said the man in black.

THREE:These rather strange terms had been the result of much thought on his part. His original plan had been simply to buy the farm for as little money as Realf would take, but Tilly's visit had inspired him with the happy thought of getting it for nothing. As the land was mortgaged it would be very difficult for Realf to find buyers, who would also be discouraged by the farm's ruinous state of disrepair. Indeed, Reuben thought himself rather generous to offer what he did. He might have stipulated for Realf to pay him back in a given time part of the money disbursed on his account. After all, mortgage and repairs would amount to over a thousand pounds, so when he talked of getting the place for nothing it was merely because the mortgage and the repairs would have to be tackled anyhow. He had little fear of Realf's refusing his terms��not only was he very unlikely to find another purchaser, but no one else would let him stay on, still less pay him for doing so. Reuben had thought of keeping him on as tenant, but had come to the conclusion that such a position would make him too independent. He preferred rather to have him as a kind of bailiff��the monthly, instead of the weekly, wage making acceptance just possible for his pride.
