It
did
not
appear
quite
so
unlikely
to
me
that
evening
,
as
it
would
have
done
if
we
had
discussed
it
a
few
hours
before
.
I
therefore
observed
I
was
not
quite
sure
of
that
.
But
Biddy
said
she
was
,
and
she
said
it
decisively
.
In
my
heart
I
believed
her
to
be
right
;
and
yet
I
took
it
rather
ill
,
too
,
that
she
should
be
so
positive
on
the
point
.
When
we
came
near
the
churchyard
,
we
had
to
cross
an
embankment
,
and
get
over
a
stile
near
a
sluice
-
gate
.
There
started
up
,
from
the
gate
,
or
from
the
rushes
,
or
from
the
ooze
(
which
was
quite
in
his
stagnant
way
)
,
Old
Orlick
.
"
Halloa
!
"
he
growled
,
"
where
are
you
two
going
?

"
Where
should
we
be
going
,
but
home
?
"
"
Well
,
then
,
"
said
he
,
"
I
’
m
jiggered
if
I
don
’
t
see
you
home
!
"
This
penalty
of
being
jiggered
was
a
favorite
supposititious
case
of
his
.
He
attached
no
definite
meaning
to
the
word
that
I
am
aware
of
,
but
used
it
,
like
his
own
pretended
Christian
name
,
to
affront
mankind
,
and
convey
an
idea
of
something
savagely
damaging
.
When
I
was
younger
,
I
had
had
a
general
belief
that
if
he
had
jiggered
me
personally
,
he
would
have
done
it
with
a
sharp
and
twisted
hook
.
Biddy
was
much
against
his
going
with
us
,
and
said
to
me
in
a
whisper
,
"
Don
’
t
let
him
come
;
I
don
’
t
like
him
.
"
As
I
did
not
like
him
either
,
I
took
the
liberty
of
saying
that
we
thanked
him
,
but
we
didn
’
t
want
seeing
home
.
He
received
that
piece
of
information
with
a
yell
of
laughter
,
and
dropped
back
,
but
came
slouching
after
us
at
a
little
distance
.

Curious
to
know
whether
Biddy
suspected
him
of
having
had
a
hand
in
that
murderous
attack
of
which
my
sister
had
never
been
able
to
give
any
account
,
I
asked
her
why
she
did
not
like
him
.
"
Oh
!
"
she
replied
,
glancing
over
her
shoulder
as
he
slouched
after
us
,
"
because
I
—
I
am
afraid
he
likes
me
.
"
