'asked Mrs Prothero, through her sobs. 'Yes, indeet!
But, indeet, Rowland Prothero did be more than a son to me, and if Miss Gwynne was my own doater she couldn't be kinder. She was buying up enough of my beauty furniture to fill the little cottage. I did be finding it out 'esterday, and seure it was their wedding present to a poor, childless widow, as 'ould be in the Eunion, and I with hundreds and thousands!
'Couldn't take a drop of anything, said another. 'Is talking of Miss Netta for ever, said a third. 'There'll be a loss to every one. Mr Jonathan prayed for her in church last Sunday; if prayers'll save her she 'ont die, no seure. 'She gave me a jug of milk only Friday week. 'And was coming to see my John in the measles Wednesday before Miss Netta ran away.
'What you say, Miss, is seure to have sense in it. I never knew you take to any one yet who wasn't worth something, so I'll just ride myself and look after 'em both. I shouldn't like people to fancy we were in a fuss and fright. But remember, Miss Gwynne, it is to oblige you; and if I find that she has run away with my son
Seure, the Queen Victoria or Prince Albert don't be dressing half as fine as the gentlemen and ladies I was seeing act. The Queen! Oh, Mrs Rice Rice, fach! Ma'am, I was disappointed! Just a bonnet no better than my doater-in-law's. What, sir! a crown? Not 'sactly a crown; but I was 'specting to see a queen different from other people. Hush!
'I will take you to London to-morrow, if you are resolved to go. You must meet me at the omnibus. 'Then I will be going home to get ready. You was seure to come, Mr Rowlands? 'Sure, if nothing unforeseen prevents me. At this point of the conversation, Mr Prothero entered the parlour, leading Minette, who had two letters in her hand.

'You'll excuse my hurrying on, Mrs Davies; I want to call at Lewis, Dryslwyn. 'To be seure. Good morning, Mr Prothero. The worthy farmer rode off at a gallop, till he was more than out of sight of Mrs Davies.

'He is being safe in America, Netta, fach, but is coming home soon I am thinking. Don't you be dying; he was doating upon you, and if he do come home, and don't be finding you, he'll be dying too. 'Are you sure he will come back? Did he tell you so himself? 'To be seure. He is coming back soon, only he must be paying his debts first. Come you!
'Did she cry, cousin? did she shed one tear? asked Mrs Prothero, sitting up in bed, and looking at Mrs Jenkins with a quick, wild eye, quite unlike her usual quiet glance.
