All that blooth means heavy autumn work for him and his hands.

The Woodlanders (1887)

And yet to every bad there is a worse.

The Woodlanders (1887)

The Woodlanders (1887)

By the time that Melbury reached the park, he was prepared to go any lengths in combating this rank and reckless errantry of his daughter's husband. He would fetch home Edgar Fitzpiers to-night by some means, rough or fair: in his view there could come of his interference nothing worse than what existed at present. And yet to every bad there is a worse.
