Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scribner's Monthly, 1870-1: An Illustrated Magazine for the People IT was Jeremy Train who sat down to his tea In his holiday clothes, looking prim as could be. The cravat on his neck had a marvellous tie, And his boots were as bright and as black as his eye, And his Whiskers and hair, which were turning to gray, Had been colored and curled at the barber's that day; And forgetting a little bald spot on his head, And a stoop in the back, any one would have said That the hearty old drover had seen less of life, By a dozen of years, than his sad little Wife. Mistress Barbara Train sat and served him his toast As polite as a princess, but pale as a ghost. There was fire in her eye which her tears could not quell, And a pain in her heart which her tongue might not tell; For she loved the Old drover too well, and she knew She had ceased to be charming and he to be true.
