Cooms Yon Yacob an' he loan claim-holters money fife per cent, huh! Puy 'em, hide an' hoof, an' horn, an' tail! Dey all swear py Yon Yacob. He rop me. I fix him yet sometime. I hate Yon Yacob!" And Hans Wyker's hate was slow, but it was incurably poison. One morning in early autumn Dr. Horace Carey drove leisurely down the street of the town that bore his name.
There's a lass here that said shoo'd write this here letter for me; but I'd noan have her mellin' on t' job, though shoo were a bonny lass an' all " "What mak o' lass is yon?" interrupted Annie. "If he's bin takkin' up wi' one o' them French lasses, he'll get a bit o' my mind when he cooms back.
'That's what cooms from her, sur, being lead-pisoned; and it cooms from her night and day, the poor, sick craythur; and the pain of it is dreadful; and God he knows that my husband has walked the sthreets these four days, being a labourer, and is walking them now, and is ready to work, and no work for him, and no fire and no food but the bit in the pot, and no more than ten shillings in a fortnight; God be good to us! and it is poor we are, and dark it is and could it is indeed.
I hope I shall die ere ever such a time cooms, and I shall work solitary among yo unless it cooms truly, I mun do 't, my friends; not to brave yo, but to live. I ha nobbut work to live by; and wheerever can I go, I who ha worked sin I were no heighth at aw, in Coketown heer?
"The Doctor often has special patients stayin' in these rooms," she said, "but fortunately they were emptied three days agone, and kept for ye. The Doctor has always some puir soul he wants to mak' comfortable. I'm glad 'tis guests this time he has, an' no patients. He needs to forget his wark when he cooms hame, but 'tis seldom he has the opportunity."
I should advise, Maister Warne, havin' a small tray in your room an' then attemptin' no mair than juist tae see Doctor Craig, when he cooms tae say gude nicht."

'Wal, now, I'm real glad to heer yo say sich things, Davy, lad, said Reuben, with a curious flutter of manner. 'I'm real glad. So yo take to the farmin, Davy? Wal, it's nateral. All yor forbears all on em leastways, nobbut yor feyther got their livin off t' land. It cooms nateral to a Grieve. The boy made no answer did not commit himself in any way. He went on absently throwing stones.

Postmeridian, Master Morrison, of St. Ronan's not the mayor he cooms to his desk yon well, when he cooms isna the concern o' those who are speirin for a mayor."
