"I reckon that's the size o't," said Coggan, working along without looking up.

Coggan called Gabriel, who now again lodged in his house as at first, and together they went to the paddock.

Coggan carried an old pinchbeck repeater which he had inherited from some genius in his family; and it now struck one.

That same evening at dusk Gabriel was leaning over Coggan's garden-gate, taking an up-and-down survey before retiring to rest.

Just before the clock struck five Gabriel Oak and Coggan passed the village cross, and went on together to the fields.
