If he forgived me now I'd go mad. Wait till I've had soldier law, then us'll talk 'bout forgiving arter." Phoebe shivered and began to cry helplessly, drying her eyes upon the sheet. "Theer theer," he said; "doan't be a cheel. We 'm made o' stern stuff, you an' me. 'T is awnly a matter of years, I s'pose, an' the reason I went may lessen the sentence a bit.
"As God in heaven's my judge, he ban't no cheel of mine, and I knaw nothing about him no, nor yet his faither nor mother nor plaace of birth. I found un wheer I said, and if I've lied by a fraction, may God choke me as I stand here afore you." "An' I believe you to the bottom!" declared his father-in-law.
"I've writ it out all fair in ink 'cordin' as Uncle Chirgwin advised," said Joan. "Fust comes my cheel, then Tom. Uncle sez theer ban't no call to name others. I wanted hisself to take a half on it, but he said theer weren't no need an' he wouldn't nohow." "Quite right," declared Thomasin. "Iss fay! He be a plain dealer an' a good righteous man."
'Tis Nature, you mind, an' I be Nature's cheel no wi' no faither nor mother but her." The old man was snuffling, and a tear or two rolled down his red face, gathered the damp already there and fell. He groaned to himself, then brought forth a big, red pocket-handkerchief, and wept outright, while Joan stood silently regarding him.
Anyway, you 'm tokened to Chris and will be one of the family some day perhaps when Mother Coomstock dies, so I'll leave my secret with you. But not a soul else not mother even. So you must swear you'll never tell to man or woman or cheel what I've done and wheer I be gone." "I'll swear if you like." "By the livin' God." "By any God you believe is alive." "Say it, then."
"'Here I am, Provost, cried a stout, active young fellow; something like what the captain must have been when he was young, I should think!" "Ahem!" coughed the captain. "Well," continued Lindsay, "the Provost said, 'Now, Ogilvy, you're a smart cheel, an' ken aboot war and strategy and the like: I charge ye to organize the men o' the toon without delay, and tak' what steps ye think adveesable.
"Well, I'll slip back long, Joan; an' if I be a Nachur's cheel, I be; but I guess I'll keep it a secret. If I tawld faither as I dedn' b'lieve in no auld devil, I guess he'd hurry me into next world so's I might see for myself theer was wan." They walked a little way together. Then Tom grew frightened and stopped his companion.
There oopen too those stooped leetle three poonders. Tha might joost as weel be used for brass warming pons, to tak the cheel off the damp beeds some of us will be pressing preesently." Whist, whist, whist, flew three balls successively between their heads. "Ha, here they begin to talk to us in earnest, and now to our duty." The next moment all was roar, and bustle, and confusion, and death.
An' bring Mister Jan back long very quick, 'cause I'm nothin' but sadness wi'out en. An', dear St. Madern, I ax 'e to bless me same as you done when when I was a lil baaby, 'cause I be gwaine to bathe in your brook, bein' a St. Madern cheel. Oh, dear, good God o' all things, please to help me an' look to me, 'cause I be very sad, an' I never done no harm to none, for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen."
An' your missis theer, if I haven't kept it for the last! 'Tis news four-an-twenty hour old now an' they wrote to 'e essterday, but I lay you missed the letter awin' to me " "Get on!" "Well, she've brought 'e a bwoy so now you've got both sorts bwoy an' cheel. An' all doin' well as can be, though wisht work for her, thinkin' 'pon you the while."
