“But you didn’t like to think too close on it?”
“No, perhaps I didn’t. Let me be, Olver; I’ve troubles enough without you moidering me.”
“And are you the only one to have troubles?”
“Let me be, Olver, I tell you.”
“No, I won’t let you be. I’ve a grudge against you. I’ve thought it out.”
“I’m not well, Olver; keep your grudge till I’ve got my baby. Then I’ll have it out with you if I must.”
“You hadn’t any pity on Nicco.”
“Oh, that’s how the land lies, is it?”
“No use being brazen about it, Daisy. I’m here to speak for Nicco, and nothing you say’ll stop me.”
