There are the Dutchmen, very fat, and smoking, you know, and one sitting on a barrel." "Nay, Miss, I'n no opinion o' Dutchmen. There ben't much good i' knowin' about them." "But they're our fellow-creatures, Luke; we ought to know about our fellow-creatures."

I don't know how it could look better." "Thee dostna know? Nay; how's thee to know? Th' men ne'er know whether the floor's cleaned or cat-licked. But thee'lt know when thee gets thy parridge burnt, as it's like enough to be when I'n gi'en o'er makin' it. Thee'lt think thy mother war good for summat then." "Dinah," said Seth, "do come and sit down now and have your breakfast. We're all served now."

It's choice o' mislikings is all I'n got i' this world. One morsel's as good as another when your mouth's out o' taste. Thee mun set about it now this mornin' fust thing. I wonna ha' nobody to touch the coffin but thee." Adam's eyes met Seth's, which looked from Dinah to him rather wistfully.

But now, do ye make the tay as ye like it, for I'n got no taste i' my mouth this day it's all one what I swaller it's all got the taste o' sorrow wi't." Dinah took care not to betray that she had had her tea, and accepted Lisbeth's invitation very readily, for the sake of persuading the old woman herself to take the food and drink she so much needed after a day of hard work and fasting.

"Eh!" said Lisbeth, "that's very well for ye to talk, as looks welly like the snowdrop-flowers as ha' lived for days an' days when I'n gethered 'em, wi' nothin' but a drop o' water an' a peep o' daylight; but th' hungry foulks had better leave th' hungry country. It makes less mouths for the scant cake.

So you see he settled it easy; for parsons and doctors know everything by heart, like, so as they aren't worreted wi' thinking what's the rights and wrongs o' things, as I'n been many and many's the time. And sure enough the wedding turned out all right, on'y poor Mrs.

"Would 'e believe it, if I told it as true as I could?" "Yes, I would." "I will, then, as I hope to be saved." "I mean to stand your friend, whatever you say, and I know how hard it is to own a lie. "Ay, that it be, and God knows I'n told a many." "Well, I ask you, then, as in the sight of God, is this one of them?" "No, sir. It ain't." "What! you did see a ghost?" "Ay, I did."

"You were not frightened?" "No, sir, because I hadn't got in my head yet that 'twere a sperit. When I got in, I said, 'I'n seen him, 'You fool, says Mary Carfoil, that was cook then, 'your head, says she, 'is for ever running on the men folks.

"Have ye come from your own country o' purpose to see her?" "But Hetty Hetty Sorrel," said Adam, abruptly; "Where is she?" "I know nobody by that name," said the old woman, wonderingly. "Is it anybody ye've heared on at Snowfield?" "Did there come no young woman here very young and pretty Friday was a fortnight, to see Dinah Morris?" "Nay; I'n seen no young woman." "Think; are you quite sure?

I niver cheat anybody as doesn't want to cheat me, Miss, lors, I'm a honest chap, I am; only I must hev a bit o' sport, an' now I don't go wi' th' ferrets, I'n got no varmint to come over but them haggling women. I wish you good evening, Miss." "Good-by, Bob. Thank you very much for bringing me the books. And come again to see Tom."
