Rhoda:
They've just been saying down in Barton that your father brings his young wife home from Anglebury tomorrow,' the woman observed. 'I shall want to send you for a few things to market, and you'll be pretty sure to meet 'em.

Jamie:
Yes, Mother,'Is Father married then?

Rhoda:
Yes... You can give her a look, and tell me what she's like, if you do see her.

Jamie:
Yes, Mother.

Rhoda:
If she's dark or fair, and if she's tall - as tall as I. And if she seems like a woman who has ever worked for a living, or one that has been always well off, and has never done anything, and shows marks of the lady on her, as I expect she do.
