Whate'er he was, he is to-day a run-away bondservant and " "But, dadda, he is now a lieutenant-colonel and " "Of what? Where 's the honour in being in command of the riff-raff of the land?
"Oh, dadda, I want to be dutiful, and obedient I promise to be, but you would not have me marry with my heart given elsewhere. You could not be so cruel or " "Cease such bibble-babble, Jan. 'T is for your own good I am acting.
"But he is well born, dadda, far better than we ourselves, for he told me once that his great-grandfather was King of England," cried the girl, desperately. "And ye believed the tale?" "He would not lie to me, dadda, I am sure." "Why think ye that?" "Oh he never loving me, he never can't you understand? He 'd not deceive me, dadda."

Poor Janice, torn between the two difficulties, subsided, and meekly responded, "I Well, I don't like to have things whipped, dadda. But if Charles deserves it, of course he he 't is right."
