What do I keer? what doos it matter to me what he saw? I doan't bleeve he saw owt, if yo ast me. He wor skeert wi his own thinkins, an th' cowd gripped him i' th' in'ards, an twisted him as yo may twist a withe of hay Aye! it wor a cruel neet. When I opened t' door i' t' early mornin, t' garden wor aw black th' ice on t' reservoir wor inches thick.
After their meal both children crept out on to the moor to see what might be going on in the world outside. Darkness was fast advancing. A rising wind swept through the dead bracken, whirled round the great grit boulders, and sent a shiver through Louie's thin body. 'It's cowd, she said pettishly; 'I'm gooin back. 'Did yo spose it wor gooin to be warm, yo little silly?
Well, it seems that Robin o' Sceawter's, th' carrier his feyther went by th' name o' 'Cowd an' Hungry; he're a quarryman by trade; a long, hard, brown-looking felley, wi' e'en like gig-lamps, an' yure as strung as a horse's mane. He looked as if he'd bin made out o' owd dur-latches, an' reawsty nails.
It was the voice of the little man, Charlie, who had spoken with Myatt on the football field. "Come in quick, Charlie. "Ay! Cowd it is, lad! It's above three mile as I've walked, and thou knows it, Jos. Give us a quartern o' gin." The door grated again and a bolt was drawn. The two men passed together behind the bar, and so within my vision.
I want the summer, because of the sunshine, and the reeds and rushes turning green again, and the birds." "There's plenty o' birds," said Dave. "Yes, but I mean singing birds, and nesting, and flowers, and the warmth." "Theer, I towd you so. You are cowd," cried Dave. "When I'm cold I'm going to use the pole," said Dick. "I say isn't it deep here, Dave?"
"And that may non Hors DON." SIR J. MANDEVILLE. "But for th' entent to DON this sinne." CHAUCER. Cowd; cold. Teut., kaud. Dutch, koud. "I han got no money, I tell ye," said Barton. Wilson looked disappointed. Barton tried not to be interested, but he could not help it in spite of his gruffness. There lay the remains of his dinner, hastily put by ready for supper.
It was abaat th' deead hour, and I wakened up sudden-like, for summat towd me all were not reet wi' th' lad. I made thi faither strike a leet, and then I see'd Billy's een were set, and his little mouth twitchin'. Thi faither run off, half dressed as he were, for th' doctor. But it wor no use; Billy were going cowd in my arms when they both geet back.
"You've not got a bit o' money by you, Barton?" asked he. "Not I; who has now, I'd like to know. Whatten you want it for?" "I donnot* want it for mysel', tho' we've none to spare. But don ye know Ben Davenport as worked at Carsons? He's down wi' the fever, and ne'er a stick o' fire nor a cowd potato in the house." *"Don" is constantly used in Lancashire for "do"; as it was by our older writers.
The Colonel, it is true, smarting under a sense of defeat, would have liked to press the argument further; but just then the front door of "The Crooked Billet" was thrown open by the landlord, and the smithy was speedily emptied of its occupants. "Sithee, lass, oppen t' windey a minute, there's a love." "What do you want t' windey openin' for, mother? You'll give me my death o' cowd."
I stood theer on t' door-sill for mebbe five minutes an' then I said to misel, I'll just run down as far as Janet's Cove afore I gan to bed. It were a bit cowd, so I lapped my shawl around my head an' set off. "'Twere nobbut a two-three minutes' walk, an' afore vara lang I were sittin' anent t' rocks, an' t' mooin were glisterin' through t' esh-trees on to t' watter.
