"I thought that was what would happen, Lolla, but I wasn't quite sure." "Did you hear me shouting when Peter came along? I hoped you would understand and bide yourself some way, so that he wouldn't find you. What I was most afraid of was that you would be in the woods with your friend, and that you wouldn't hear us."
"I wants Charley to take un home with he when he goes next summer on the mail boat. Twere he that fought for un, and they belongs to he."

"Thank God he's not dead; but punishment he shall have if theer's justice in the land." "Bide your time. He won't shirk it. But he's hurted proper; you might let Jan Grimbal knaw, 't will ease his mind." "Not it," declared Billy; "he thought he'd killed un; cracked the neck of un."
