"By dunna want your feelin'," replied Jennet, nettled by the remark; "boh it wasna my sister os made me ill." "Who was it then, my little dear," said Potts. "Dunna 'dear' me," retorted Jennet; "yo're too ceevil by half, os the lamb said to the wolf.
Mother is a pris'ner theere, too. An ey should ha kept em company, if Tib hadna brought me off. Now, listen to me, Alizon, fo' this is my bus'ness wi' yo. Yo mun get mother an Jem out to-neet eigh, to-neet. Yo con do it, if yo win. An onless yo do boh ey winna threaten till ey get yer answer." "How am I to set them free?" asked Alizon, greatly alarmed.
"Neaw, ey'd tak keare he didna do that, squoire," replied the hostess.
