If you could a heard Mister Jan! You would understand, wi' your warm heart, but I caan't make 'e; I've no terrible, braave, butivul words. I'll gaw my ways then. If any sawl had tawld me as I'd ever bring tears down your faace I'd never b'lieved 'em never; but so I have, an' that's bitterness to me." He took her by the hand and pressed it, then put his arm round her and kissed her.
"Ess; an' when Martin Grimbal knaws that is so, 'twill be time enough to ax un for work, I dare say, not sooner. Better he should give Clem work than me. I'd thought of him myself, for that matter." "I've axed Clem to ax un long ago, but he won't." "I'll go and see Clem right away. 'Tis funny he never let the man knaw 'bout you. Should have been the first thing he tawld un."
I never see'd maids take on as they'm doin'; but there! I reckon 'twill soon be put a end to now." "How so?" said Adam. "Wa-al, you mustn't knaw, down below, more than you'm tawld," said the old man with a significant wink and a jerk of his head, "but Jerrem he let me into it this ebenin' when he rinned up to see me for a bit.
Poor dear sawl, she'm dead an' gone, an' she loved 'e wi' all her 'eart, as I, what knawed her, can testify to." "No more o' that," he said, "the gal's comin'. Thank God she ban't no cheel o' mine thank God, as 'ave tawld me 'tedn' so. He whispered it, an' I put it away an' away. Now I knaws. You bide here, Thomasin Tregenza, and I'll speak what's fittin'."
Come and sit down by me and I'll explain why I seemed so rude." She came slowly and sat down some distance from him, putting her elbows on her knees and looking away to sea. "'Tweern't kind," she said, "but when you'm with other folks, I s'pose you'm ashamed o' me 'spite what you tawld me 'bout yourself." "You mustn't say that, Joan, or you'll make me unhappy. Ashamed of you!
Hold yourself back, Michael, for us caan't say nothin' sure till us knaws the truth from Joan." "She've tawld me the truth out a walkin' an' I've shawed her the narrer path. What should you find?" "Money no lil come-by-chance neither; more money than ever you or me seed in our born days afore or shall agin." "You'm dreamin', wummon!" he said.
'Cause if he did knaw I shouldn't but theer, I've never tawld 'e, an' I ban't gwaine to now. Awnly I'll say this, if Grimbal really knawed he'd have but he can't knaw, and theer 's an end of it." "To think I should have been frighted by such a story all these weeks! An' not true. Oh! I wish I'd told 'e when he sent the message. 'T would have saved me so much."
Theer's nought squenches a chap like havin' the bailiffs in." "Cruel luck! I'd meant to let him be sold out for his gude but now." "Do what you meant to. Doan't go back on it. 'Tis for his gude. 'Twas his awn mistake. He tawld me the blame was his. Let un get on the bed rock. Then he'll be meek as a worm." "I doubt it. A sale of his goods will break his heart." "Not it!
Lors! but 'tis a poor stomach you's got to'rds her if you'm angered by such a bit o' philanderin' as I've tawld 'ee of. What d'ee mane, then?" he added, his temper rising at such unwarrantable inconsistency. "I've knawed as honest women as ever her is that's a done that, and more too, for to get their men safe off and out o' way iss, and wasn't thought none the wus of, neither.
Mother's guessed part an' she tawld faither I weer gwaine daft or else in love wi' some pusson else than Joe. An' faither was short an' sharp, an' took me out walkin', an' bid me bide at home an' give over trapsin' 'bout. An' 'e said as 'ow I was tokened to Joe Noy an' bound by God A'mighty to wait for en if 'twas a score years.
