"Then don't you wherrit your head no more about it, Master Aleck. It was them two as did it, and I shall put it down to their account." "But we ought to be sure." "Sure, sir? Why, we are sure, and they'll have to take it." "Take it? Take what?" "Physic, sir. Never you mind about it any more; you leave it to me.
De doctor say de ku'nel 'ud do fus-class ef he only would n't wherrit so, but he do nothin' but toss an' act rambunctious, an' dat keep de wound fretted an' him feverish."

"We must not be, Sally," spoke Peggy quickly. "'Twould wherrit these kind friends if we were to show fear. They will take excellent care of us, and take us home soon, I make no doubt." "Isn't thee ever afraid, Peggy?" "Why, yes; of course," answered Peggy. "Every one is, I think. But mother told me once never to anticipate trouble, and so I try not to think about what might happen.
I make no doubt but that a way will soon be opened for us. I think both he and Friend Nurse would be glad to find one for us."

John South's death of fear about the tree makes me think that I shall die of this....'Ch have been going to ask him again to let me off, but I hadn't the face." "Why?"

"What's that?" snapped the squire.
"And I may tell him so?" asked Peggy eagerly. "I don't want the poor fellow to have aught to wherrit him. He hath enough as it is." "Yes; thee may tell him, Peggy." Sally slipped from the bed as she spoke and buried her face in the washing bowl. "After all, as thee said, 'tis naught to make such a pother about." "Will thee come home with me to see Harriet, Sally?" "Not to-day, Peggy."
"'T will take time, you understand, squire, and it can't be done if you go to York or out of the country." "We'll stay here as long as there 's nothing better to do." "That's the talk. And don't you wherrit about your lodgings, if you 're short of cash. I'll fix it with Si, and chance my getting paid somehow.

"I say no, Tom. I'm going to stay here and help you. You won't mind sailing over with me in the dark?" "Not me, sir, and you needn't wherrit about what to do wi' me. I shall spread a sail over the boat when we've got her moored back in the creek, and creep under and sleep like a top.
