Of course the comic man could not think of charging for mere board and lodging the man who knocked him down when they were boys together! Besides, was not the heroine (now the hero's wife) the sweetest and the blithest girl in all the village of Deepdale? (They must have been a gloomy band, the others!) OF COURSE THE COMING MAN COULD NOT THINK OF CHARGING THEM FOR MERE BOARD AND LODGING THE MAN WHO KNOCKED HIM DOWN WHEN THEY WERE BOYS TOGETHER BESIDES WAS NOT THE HEROINE NOW THE HERO'S WIFE THE SWEETEST AND BLITHEST GIRL IN THE VILLAGE OF DEEPDALE THEY MUST HAVE BEEN A GLOOMY BAND THE OTHERS
a rich man and he never seems to earn any money. Sometimes he keeps a shop, and in the way he manages business it must be an expensive thing to keep, for he never charges anybody for anything, he is so generous. All his customers seem to be people more or less in trouble, and he can't find it in his heart to ask them to pay for their goods under such distressing circumstances. He stuffs their basket full with twice as much as they came to buy, pushes their money back into their hands, and wipes away a tear. Why doesn't a comic man come and set up a grocery store in our neighborhood? When the shop does not prove sufficiently profitable (as under the above-explained method sometimes happens to be the case) the comic man's wife seeks to add to the income by taking in lodgers. This is a bad move on her part, for it always ends in the lodgers taking her in. The hero and heroine, who seem to have been waiting for something of the sort, immediately come and take possession of the whole house. AVE SAID HE IS NOT A RICH MAN AND HE NEVER SEEMS TO EARN ANY MONEY SOMETIMES HE KEEPS A SHOP AND IN THE WAY HE MANAGES BUSINESS IT MUST BE AN EXPENSIVE THING TO KEEP FOR HE NEVER CHARGES ANYBODY FOR ANYTHING HE IS SO GENEROUS ALL HIS CUSTOMERS SEEM TO BE PEOPLE MORE OR LESS IN TROUBLE AND HE CAN'T FIND IT IN HIS HEART TO ASK THEM TO PAY FOR THEIR GOODS UNDER SUCH DISTRESSING CIRCUMSTANCES HE STUFFS THEIR BASKETS FULL TWICE AS MUCH AS THEY CAME TO BUY PUSHES THEIR MONEY BACK INTO THEIR HANDS AND WIPES AWAY A TEAR WHY DOESN'T THE COMIC MAN COME OUT AND SET UP A GROCERY STORE IN OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD WHEN THE SHOP DOES PROVE SUFFICIENTLY PROFITABLE AS UNDER THE ABOVE EXPLAINED METHOD SOMETIMES HAPPENS TO BE A CASE THE COMIC MAN'S WIFE SEEKS TO ADD TO THE INCOME BY TAKING IN LODGERS THIS IS A BAD MOVE ON HER PART FOR IT ALWAYS ENDS IN THE LODGERS TAKING HER IN THE HERO AND HEROINE WHO SEEMED TO HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMETHING OF THIS SORT IMMEDIATELY COME AND TAKE POSSESSION OF THE WHOLE HOUSE
