at the cottage.

It is, I think, now universally admitted by all Devonshire and
Cornwall that Luke Rowan has succeeded in brewing good beer; with
what results to himself I am not prepared to say. I do not, however,
think it probable that he will succeed in his professed object of
shutting up the apple orchards of the county.

Transcriber's note:

Obvious typographical errors have been corrected.

Volume I, Chapter XII, paragraph 45. "She had pledged
herself to give Mr. Prong an answer on Friday, . . ."
The astute reader will recall from Chapter IX that Mrs.
Prime asked Mr. Prong to call on Saturday, while Miss
Pucker was shopping, to learn her answer to his proposal.

Specific changes in wording of the text are listed below.

partially cleared, the non-dancers being pressed back
into a border round the WALLS, and the music began.

to "wife" in the sentence: Nevertheless she carried the
tidings up into Baslehurst, and as she repeated it to the
grocer's daughters and the baker's WIFE she shook her head
with as much apparent satisfaction as though she really
believed that Rachel oscillated between a ruined name and a
broken heart.
