1Again and again and again, my sister had traced upon the slate, a character that looked like a curious T, and then with
2the utmost eagerness had called our attention to it as something she particularly wanted. I had in vain tried everything
3producible that began with a T, from tar to toast and tub. At length it had come into my head that the sign looked like
4a hammer, and on my lustily calling that word in my sister's ear, she had begun to hammer on the table and had expressed
5a qualified assent. Thereupon, I had brought in all our hammers, one after another, but without avail. Then I bethought
6me of a crutch, the shape being much the same, and I borrowed one in the village, and displayed it to my sister with
7considerable confidence. But she shook her head to that extent when she was shown it, that we were terrified lest in her
8weak and shattered state she should dislocate her neck. When my sister found that Biddy was very quick to understand
9her, this mysterious sign reappeared on the slate. Biddy looked thoughtfully at it, heard my explanation, looked
10thoughtfully at my sister, looked thoughtfully at Joe (who was always represented on the slate by his initial letter),
11and ran into the forge, followed by Joe and me. "Why, of course!" cried Biddy, with an exultant face. "Don't you see?
12It's him!" Orlick, without a doubt! She had lost his name, and could only signify him by his hammer. We told him why we
13wanted him to come into the kitchen, and he slowly laid down his hammer, wiped his brow with his arm, took another wipe
14at it with his apron, and came slouching out, with a curious loose vagabond bend in the knees that strongly
15distinguished him. I confess that I expected to see my sister denounce him, and that I was disappointed by the different
16result. She manifested the greatest anxiety to be on good terms with him, was evidently much pleased by his being at
17length produced, and motioned that she would have him given something to drink. She watched his countenance as if she
18were particularly wishful to be assured that he took kindly to his reception, she showed every possible desire to
19conciliate him, and there was an air of humble propitiation in all she did, such as I have seen pervade the bearing of a
20child towards a hard master. After that day, a day rarely passed without her drawing the hammer on her slate, and
21without Orlick's slouching in and standing doggedly before her, as if he knew no more than I did what to make of it.
