"Noa, lass; oi think as t' maister be only stunned, and Bill ha' fainted from loss o' blood. But oi doan't know how bad he be hurted yet. We had best carry 'em back to t' house; we can't see to do nowt here." "Best let them stay here, feyther, till we can stop the bleeding. Moving would set the wounds off worse."
