Excerpt from Sheer Off: A Tale
Nancy gave another contemptuous snort, but without specifying for whom it was in tended. Ben Stone went on with his planing of the shelf and his praise of the school-master, his hand having a very different effect from his tongue for the more he planed, the smoother grew the wood; while the more he praised, the rougher grew the temper Of Nancy. Ben Stone saw this, and took a little malicious pleasure in stirring up the envy and jealousy Of his customer; for, though he was not one to break the peace himself, and had never been known to be either out of spirits or out of temper, Ben Stone was certainly not a man to be reckoned amongst the peacemakers. He rather enjoyed poking the fire in a neigh bor's grate, as he once jestingly observed to his wife, and there was always plenty of dry fuel in Nancy's.
