There's a fearful deal o' oaths spilt in a grave while it's i' th' makin', I can tell yo'; and th' Almeety's name is spoken more daan i' th' hoile than it is up aboon, for all th' parson reads it so mich aat of his book. But this funeral's baan to be lat', Mr. Penrose'; and drawing a huge watch from his fob, he exclaimed: 'Another ten minutes and there's no berryin' i' th' yard this afternoon.
"Here's a cur'osity, and here here here's pah! I don't like handling them." As he spoke, Tom held out to my view three or four blackened bones, which he threw down again amongst the sand and water at the bottom. "We shall come to the leaden coffin after all, Mas'r Harry," he said. "This has been a berryin' place after a fight, p'r'aps; but is it worth while to disturb it?"
"I won't go no more to the berryin ground," muttered the boy; "I ain't a-going there, so I tell you!" I lifted my veil and spoke to the woman. She said to me in a low voice, "Don't mind him, ma'am.

Old Enoch took his cap from his head, and wiped his brow, and continued: 'Th' flute were my salvation agen, Mr. Penrose, when our lad deed.

Something like a smile gleamed in Elizabeth's eyes, as she looked at her, tripping along by the muddy roadside. "So don't ye worry, ma lass," she said. "It's a braw fine thing ye did, bringin' the pair stray lamb back to the auld place, an' berryin' the auld man; an' it's no fit ye'll be carryin' the burden. Beside, ye'll be leavin' us a' sune, ah doot.
"Then here goes to lose myself," returned Dunham, "for you can't lose me. Benny, how are you going to get my boat home?" "Don't know," drawled Benny; "couldn't swim back agin." "Well, you could take it over to-morrow and get back somehow, couldn't you?" "Miss Edna, she wants to go berryin' to-morrer." "So do I, then," remarked Dunham. "You shall," laughed Edna. "We'll send another boy."
'I don't understand you, Joseph, said Mr. Penrose wonderingly. 'We never berry here after four o'clock. 'But there's no law forbidding a funeral at any hour that I know of is there? 'There is wi' me. I'm maisther o' this berryin' hoile, whatever yo' may be o' th' chapel. But they're comin', so I'll oppen th' chapel durs.
