Other men have to be treated in a special manner; approached through their own mental dialect, flattered by a minute regard for what they have said and done. Evesham was as widely and charitably receptive as any man I have ever met. The common politicians beside him seemed like rows of stuffy little rooms looking out upon the sea. And what was he up to?
"I reckon he knows more about that than you do. We covered that point too, and Mr. Glass said you was never better than you are right now. Anyhow, you don't have to bust no records to beat this cook. He ain't so fast." "It would sure be a kind-hearted act if you'd do it for us," said the little man in his high, boyish voice. It was a shock to discover that he spoke in a dialect.
"It hurts me," said Sir Anthony, "to hear ancient Greek pronounced like that. It is impossible to distinguish the words; besides which its wrong to pronounce ancient Greek like modern Greek. Did you understand it?" "No," said Ralph Enderby, "I did not. If it is modern Greek it was certainly wrongly pronounced. I think the man must be singing some kind of Asiatic dialect unless he's a fraud."
This, as was agreed upon by the party within, was repeated three times before any answer was given, or any movement made from within. At length, the Collier opened the casement of the thatched cottage, and, rubbing his eyes as if he had just awoke out of his first sleep, he exclaimed, in the broad Somersetshire dialect, "What's thow want makin such a naise there?"
Alwayn conducted his defenders to his office, where he thanked them heartily for the service they had rendered him. During the mélee M. Rubempré had tried to address the ruffians in broken French, for he did not for a moment forget his assumed character. He used the same "pigeon-talk" to the consul, and Christy, in the little he said, adopted the same dialect.
"I warrant, now, that beef and pudding would sit as easy under thy laced jerkin were 'J. R., and not 'G. R., blazoned on thee, back and breast." But anon a light cloud passed over his visage, and I heard him mutter to himself in the Scottish dialect, "Beef and pudding! 'tis cauld kail for Fraser the morn."
"You didn't think, did ye," she taunted, with direful malice darting from her eyes, and assuming the mountain dialect so her words would carry a sharper sting, "that Dale Dawson could be headed off, did ye! Yo' sorry life of ignorance never went so fur as ter reckon that poh, ole Bill Whitly, shot down from behind, 'd be so sure in gittin' vengeance, did ye!
The poems of De Vigny are sweet and elegant, though somewhat lacking in the energy belonging to lyric composition. The Gascon poet Jasmin has produced a good deal of verse in the western dialect of the Langue d'oc, and recently a more cultivated and literary school of poets has arisen in Provence, the chief of whom is Mistral.
The Abby de la Ville The Abby Galiani The Neapolitan Dialect I Set Out for Dunkirk on a Secret Mission I Succeed I Return to Paris by Amiens My Adventure by the Way M. de la Bretonniere My Report Gives Satisfaction I Am Paid Five Hundred Louis Reflections. A new career was opening before me.
"There ain't nary bitty sense in it." More interesting are substitutions of one sound for another. In mountain dialect all vowels may be interchanged with others. So any other vowel may serve in place of e: sarve, chist, upsot, tumble. The word coil is variously pronounced quile, querl or quorl. They never drop h, nor substitute anything for it.
