Robert ! ' she cried, * ' oh, Sir ! how could you ? how can you ? ' Kissing a hand like mine how can you shame yourself so ? ' ' Shame myself, Dolly ?' said he ; 'yes, it shames me a little, to see thee, ' Thee, with such hands as these, just like a labouring man's ! ' Man's, did I say ? Why, these are a many times coarser nor mine are ; ' Mine are not hard but see, see, they are brown, though, like thine ! ' But, I am thirty ; and thee, I know thou art scarce over twenty : ' Heavens ! what wor...k thou hast done ! oh, what a deal to go through ! 'Well, they are honest hard hands ; and thou ought to be proud on 'em, Dolly ; ' Proud on 'em, lass, dost hear ? Don't let folks make thee ashamed 59 ' Don't be ashamed, not a bit, even if they was laid by a lady's : ' Wait till I kiss 'em again ! Dolly, God bless thee good-bye ! ' GONE ? He was gone ; and she stood gazing after him out of the doorway, All in a trance, as it were ; scarce knowing how she got there ! But when she came to herself, she held up her hand to the lantern, Look'd at its hard grey palm, kiss'd it the very same place Kiss'd it, and fray'd her soft lips with the touch of its rough rugged edges ; Kiss'd it, and thought, ' What a hand, this, to have kisses from him !
