Nothing you could put on me would be any hardship at all, if it was to walk steel thistles. _Darby:_ You have a willing heart surely. _Taig:_ Any little job at all I could do for you------ _Darby:_ All I would ask of you is to give me my nourishment and my bite. _Taig:_ I will do that. I will be your serving man. _Darby:_ Ah, you are going too far in that. _Taig:_ It's my born duty to do that much. I'll bring your dinner before you, if I can be anyway pleasing to you; you that is used to wealthy people. _Darby:_ Indeed I was often in a house having up to twenty chimneys. _Taig:_ You are a rare good man, nothing short of it, and you going as you did so high in the world. _Darby:_ Any person would go high before he would put his hand out through the top of a chimney. _Taig:_ Having full and plenty of every good thing. |
