"Yes, Mrs. Moss," said Mrs. Glegg, with decision,"yours is a very unlucky family; the more's the pity for my sister."
"I set off in the cart as soon as ever I heard o' what had happened," said Mrs. Moss, looking at Mrs.Tulliver. "I should never ha' stayed away all this while,if you'd thought well to let me know. And it isn't as I'm thinking all about ourselves, and nothing about my brother, only the money was so on my mind, I couldn't help speaking about it. And my husband and me desire to do the right thing, sir," she added, looking at Mr.Glegg, "and we'll make shift and pay the money, come what will, if that's all my brother's got to trust to.We've been used to trouble, and don't look for much else. It's only the thought o' my poor children pulls me i' two."
