`` Nay , '' sighed Joanna , with a smile , `` they have changed me my friend Dick , 't is sure enough . When I beheld him , he was rough indeed .

'' `` To offer boldly to go forth , '' returned Dick ; `` and if any stop me , to keep an unchanged countenance , and say I go to pray for Rutter . They will be praying over his poor clay even now .
