her； and approve o’ what she did。”
Seth was silent。 This was a standing subject of difference rarely
alluded to； and Dinah； wishing to quit it at once； said； “Didst
remember； Adam； to speak to Colonel Donnithorne the words my
uncle and aunt entrusted to thee？”
“Yes； and he’s going to the Hall Farm with Mr。 Irwine the day
after to…morrow。 Mr。 Irwine came in while we were talking about
it； and he would have it as the Colonel must see nobody but thee
to…morrow。 He said—and he’s in the right of it—as it’ll be bad for
him t’ have his feelings stirred with seeing many people one after
another。 ‘We must get you strong and hearty；’ he said； ’that’s the
first thing to be done Arthur； and then you shall have your own
way。 But I shall keep you under your old tutor’s thumb till then。’
Mr。 Irwine’s fine and joyful at having him home again。”

Adam was silent a little while； and then said；
“It was very cutting when we first saw one another。 He’d never
heard about poor Hetty till Mr。 Irwine met him in London； for the
letters missed him on his journey。 The first thing he said to me；
when we’d got hold o’ one another’s hands was； ‘I could never do
anything for her； Adam—she lived long enough for all the
suffering—and I’d thought so of the time when I might do
something for her。 But you told me the truth when you said to me
once； “There’s a sort of wrong that can never be made up for。”’”
“Why； there’s Mr。 and Mrs。 Poyser coming in at the yard gate；”
said Seth。
“So there is；” said Dinah。 “Run； Lisbeth； run to meet Aunt
Poyser。 Come in； Adam； and rest； it has been a hard day for thee。”
The End
