So that's how't is; an' I ban't gwaine to bide Grimbal's time to be ruined, you may be very sure of that. Now I knaw, I act." "He may be quite content you should knaw. That's meat an' drink enough for him, to think of you gwaine in fear day an' night." "Ess, but that's not my way. I ban't wan to wait an enemy's pleasure." "You won't go to him, Will?" "Go to un? Ess fay 'fore the day's done, tu."

The wickedness of it! Him as taught you to think such frightful thoughts tried to ruin your sawl so well as your body. Oh, if you'd awnly up an' say, 'That man was wrong an' I'll forget en an' turn to the Saviour." "You caan't understan'. I do put ugly bits o' thot afore 'e, but if you'd heard him as opened my eyes, you'd knaw 'tedn' ugly taken altogether.
"You 'm a big, just man, Miller Lyddon; an' if theer was anything could make me sorry for the past which theer ban't 't would be to knaw you've forgived me." "He ain't done no such thing!" burst out Mr. Blee. "Tellin' 'e to go to the Dowl ban't forgivin' of 'e!"
"Awnly the youth and fieriness of 'e." "Me fiery! I lay you wouldn't find a cooler chap in Chagford." "You 'm a dinky bit comical-tempered now and again, dear heart."
