One Basket |
The second excerpt represents the element of Fire. It speaks of emotional influences and base passions, and is drawn from Silas Marner by George Eliot: it. I'll turn him out. I said I would, and I'll do it. He shan't
brave me. Go and fetch him."

some disgust at the idea that, in that case, he could not fulfil his
threat.
"No, he wasn't hurt, I believe, for the horse was found dead, and
Dunsey must have walked off. I daresay we shall see him again
by-and-by. I don't know where he is."
"And what must you be letting him have my money for? Answer me
that," said the Squire, attacking Godfrey again, since Dunsey was
Silas Marner |
