They're "conscientious objectors" that's what they are an my husband coom across them in Kendal toother day. He'd finished wi t' market, and he strolled into the room at the Town Hall, where the men were coomin' in yo know to sign on for the war. An' he got talkin' wi' these two lads, who were lookin' on as he was.
'She's a coomin; she's a coomin, were the first words he uttered. Roger knew very well that in his friend's mind there was but one 'she' in the world, and that the name of that she was Ruby Ruggles. 'I am delighted to hear it, said Roger. 'She has made it up with her grandfather? 'Don't know now't about grandfeyther. She have made it up wi' me.
Brandishing his instrument, he ran clattering down the street to overtake his brother, only just in time apparently, for, a minute or two after he had disappeared, the distant sounds of music could be heard. "They're coomin'," said Bob, drawing a long breath, and rubbing his withered hands together. His eyes grew suddenly very round and red, and he felt a queer choking in his throat.
Ar't coomin' along?" he called. The gray dog came springing up like an antelope, and the three started off for school together. Mrs. Moore stood in the doorway, holding Andrew by the hand, and watched the departing trio. "'Tis a pretty pair, Master, surely," she said softly to her husband, who came up at the moment. "Ay, he'll be a fine lad if his fether'll let him," the tall man answered.
Kit laid a hand on the old man's forehead, and stroked his hair. "I'm a-coomin," came a tiny chuckle as of a sleepy child "Billy's coomin." Seaward something flapped. The boy turned. At first he thought the Angel of Death was hovering over the white waters on sable wings. Then he recognised what he saw for the flag on the splintered mizzen of the Tremendous saluting solemnly the dying seaman.
Eh, bless you for coomin'! I scarce reckoned he were wick, 'tis so long sin' we'n had a word of him." She was clasping the new-comer's hands now, and shaking them excitedly up and down, her eyes searching his face the while. "How is my lad?" she repeated. "He mun be a gradely mon now a gradely mon! Tis what he said hisself when he wur breeched. Dear o' me, I mind it well.
They wor coomin to spend Sunday wi us, an it wor an excursion train I niver knew t' reets on 't! She paused and gently wiped away her tears. Her passion had all ebbed. 'An I thowt if I cud ha got 'em home an buried 'em, Davy, I could ha borne it better. But they wor aw crushed, an cut about, an riddlet to bits they wudna let me ha em. And so we kep it fro 'Lias.
She stood before him, drawing on her gloves, fastening her squirrel collar and settling her chin in the warm fur with the movement of a small burrowing animal, a movement that captivated Greatorex. Then, deliberately and finally, she held out her hand. "Good-bye, Mr. Greatorex. It's all right, isn't it? You're coming to sing for him, you know, not for us." "I'm coomin'," said Greatorex.
"I've not sent for him, and ye may be sure I 'll have none o' your Papish priests coomin' about the house, leastways whiles I 'm in it," interrupted Mrs. McAravey. "Then you 'd better get out of it," said the old man; "I never interfered with you and your Ranters and Covenanters, and I don't mean to be interfered with.
Aw're only a bit stonned, like. Aw'll be o' reet in a smo' bit. Aw dunnot want no doctor. Aw'm a coomin' reawnd. Ger. Neither of you shall stir to-night. Your rooms will be ready in a few minutes. Mat. Thank you, sir! I don't know what I should have done with him. Susan, you wouldn't mind going home without me? You know Miss Lacordere Ger. Miss Lacordere! What do you know of her? Mat. Oh, dear!
