She cane back with an oatmeal pudding in her hands.\n\n\"Oh!\u201d cried Sarah, her face alight with surprise and pleasure, where\nin the world did ye get the pig\u2019s bag at this time o\u2019 the year?\"\n\n\u201dThe Burkes slaughtered one on Monday,\u201d replied Martha in an\noff-hand way, but it was easy to see that she was gratified.\n\n\"Look - there is money. It\u2019s part o\u2019 my wages\" said Sarah abruptly,\nlaying some silver wrapped in a one-pound note in her mother\u2019s lap. Mrs\nGomartin raised her hands away from the money, looked at it and then at\nher daughter. Then, after a moment, she took it between her finger and\nthumb and pushed it on to the mantelboard. Sarah was satisfied.\n\nThey pulled their chairs closer to the fire and drank more tea.\n\nBut when Martha heard wheels on the road she said, \"There, that might be\nHamilton now.

The shadow of his cart fell on the door and darkened the little\nkitchen,\n\nSarah rose and pulled on her coat hurriedly. I\u2019ll not keep him\nwaiting,\" she said and went out. Hamilton got down and helped her on\nto the seat. He tucked the rug around her feet before he got up himself,\n\"If the frost\u2019s no too hard we may be back this way home,\" he called to\nMartha. He rattled the whip in its cup and the cart moved off up the hill\n","Type":"Text"}}]
