Ha, scowl, beast--scowl--this becomes thy surly visage. I shall not know thee else! Didst ever smile in all thy sullen days or speak me gentle word or kindly? Never to me, oh, never to me! Will ye not spare a look? Will ye not speak--have ye no word to my comfort?

Why seek such of me? I demanded bitterly.

I have endured much of shame and evil at your will--

Why, there be rogues for you a-plenty hereabouts shall fit ye better than I--
