Farmer Coggan had reached the door, when he faced suddenly round again, nearly upsetting his wife, who was close behind with the tea-tray in her hands. " I have ifc all of a heap," he cried, as if a new light had struck. him. "This here Mr. Chubb is a lawyer, I'll be bound, and he's come to fish out something about Edward's trustmoney and Roger's mortgage. Did the man say anything about my nephew?" "We spoke of him, and of the worry you had had along of his property ; but nothing particular wasn't said by either party," answered ' Mrs. Coggan, in a wonderfully subdued tone, for she thought within herself whether she had nofc been a little too communicative to the stranger. "Dang me, if I don't think mischief 'ill come out of this here visit and your talking." " I'm sure I said but very little — I never do," responded Mrs. Coggan. " You talk but very little ? Why, wife, your tongue goes like a threshing machine with the steam up. I know the lawyer would get all the information he wanted out of you, as sure as my name's Thomas Coggan. We shall have trouble along of this visit." " Law bless you, maister, he wasn't that sort of man." " What sort of man ?"• retorted the farmer. "Why, Mr. Chubb wasn't the sort of man to work folks mischief behind their backs." "Rotten potatoes and toadstools," ejaculated Coggan ; "you don't know nothing. I thought I should have some worry, for I saw the new moon through the window-pane last night." With this he stalked off, for the cows had to be changed after milking ; and if he did not see to the men, " they would most like be standing wi' their hands in their pockets," a thing not suffered by Farmer Coggan, who knew better than most people that " the master's eye makes the grass grow."
