"Aye, not in physique only?"
"I don't know nothin about physic. I didn't take it when I were poorly, and nobody ever did in the Punch-Bowl as I've heard tell on. I sent once to Gorlmyn (Godalming) for a sleepin' draught, when I were bad wi' that shot in my shoulder as you knows of. But I never took it, not I."
"So you've come to see me?"
"Oh, yes, I've come, civil and neighbor-like, to see you."
"What about? Will you sit down?"
"Thanky, I just about like to stand. Yes, I've come to see you—on business."
"On business!"
"Yes, on business. You're trustee, I hear, for the child."
"To be sure I am. Mother put away a hundred pounds, and father has added fifty to it—and it is for your little one, some day."
"Well," said Jonas, "what I've come about is I wants it now."
