'Never talk to me of virtue and such humbug again,' I said, 'I'll never believe in them. Every one is for what he can get.' NEVER TALK TO ME OF VIRTUE AND SUCH HUMMUG AGAIN I SAID I'LL NEVER BELIEVE IN THEM EVERY ONE IS FOR WHAT HE CAN GET

But Mr. Buxton was too full of his own thoughts and feelings to notice her much. "Do you know he has been like the rest? Do you know he has been cheating me--forging my name? I don't know what besides. It's well for him that they've altered the laws, and he can't be hung for it" (a dead heavy weight was removed from Maggie's mind), "but Mr. Henry is going to transport him. It's worse than Crayston. Crayston only ploughed up the turf, and did not pay rent, and sold the timber, thinking I should never miss it. But your brother has gone and forged my name. He had received all the purchase-money, while he only gave me half, and said the rest was to come afterward. And the ungrateful scoundrel has gone and given a forged receipt! You might have knocked me down with a straw when Mr. Henry told me about it all last night.
