I've been scratched once in my life, and I wasn't going to be agin, so, fixing my eyes on 'er, I just stepped back a bit, ready for 'er. So long as I kept my eye fixed on 'ers she couldn't do anything. I knew that. Unfortunately I stepped back just a inch too far, and next moment I went over back'ards in twelve foot of water.
"He went off as spry as a boy, and as soon as he'd gorn the skipper started walking back'ards and for'ards agin, and raving. "'Let's 'ope as he's on'y amusing 'imself, I ses. "'Wait till you see 'er, ses the skipper; 'then you won't talk foolishness. "As it 'appened she came back with Uncle Dick that evening, to see 'im safe, and I see at once wot sort of a woman it was.
Sometimes I thought she wa'n't jest right. I used to go in to see if she'd go coltsfootin' with me, or plummin'; but she never'd make me no answer. I recollect two things she said. One day, she set rockin' back'ards an' for'ards in a straight chair, holdin' her hands round her knees, an' she says, "'I 'ain't got no pride, Sally Flint! I 'ain't got no pride!
"Iss, to-morrow, at eleven i' the forenoon. Jim Lewarne brought me word." "Terrible times they be for Jim, I reckon," said Elias Sweetland. "All yestiddy he was goin' back'ards an' forrards like a lost dog in a fair, movin' his chattels.
That was poor Mary's lamp, an' hard as I've tried, I never could bring myself to put a match to that wick. How many evenin's I've seen her set by it, rockin' back'ards an' for'ards, an' her needle goin' in an' out! She was a worker, if ever there was one, poor creatur'! At it all the time, jes' like a silk-worm."
She turned as she spoke, to face her companion, taking a step or two backward as she awaited his answer. "Look out how ye air a-walkin', Narcissa! Ye'll go over the bluff back'ards, fust thing ye know," the man called out eagerly, and with a break of anxiety in his voice.
There is fire along the road ahead of us; and the horses might set their feet upon some hot ashes, which wouldn't be good for them. 'But we're goin' back'ards! where we come from! Calry, we're goin' back hum! 'We shall turn again presently, said Rollo. 'Have patience a few minutes. He spoke so calmly, the women were quieted. Mr. Falkirk, however, leaned back no more.
"I wonder how many year ago it is, since she and me used to swing back'ards and for'ards on this," he said, still pushing the gate slowly to and fro. "The hinges used to creak then. They go smooth enough now. Oiled, I suppose."
I allays said I'd never marry a man as had got no brains; for where's the use of a woman having brains of her own if she's tackled to a geck as everybody's a-laughing at? She might as well dress herself fine to sit back'ards on a donkey." These expressions, though figurative, sufficiently indicated the bent of Mrs.
"T' church clock's t' one to go by, anyhow," the sexton's son maintained. His friend guffawed aloud. "And it's a reight 'un to go by too, my sakes! when thee feyther shifts t' time back'ards and for'ards every Sunday morning to suit hissen." "To suit hissen! To suit t' ringers, ye mean!" said the sexton's son.
