"That's duty, ain't it?" said Job, looking at him with pleasant eyes. "Maybe ye haven't feared God yet as ye might ha' done, nor kept all His commandments neither."
"Never stole in my life," said John.
"Nor never took God's Holy Name in vain neither?"
"Well, I ain't never been a downright swearer as many be," said John.
"If ye've done it once, John Forsyth, the Lord 'll not hold ye guiltless," said Job.
John fidgeted.
"Maybe ye haven't never felt any envy for your richer neighbours," said Job. "Them as drives about a carriage, an' wears silk, an' jingles their money."
"Don't know why I shouldn't have as good," said John shortly.
"Then ye broke the tenth commandment too. Ye've come short o' your whole duty before God, an' no doubt about it."
"Dare say you've done the same, for all you're so hard a-condemning of me," said John.
