He had seldom gone through such hours of keen torture as he had borne that day; and his face pale, worn, miserable seemed to have lost all its youth as he lay back in the great arm-chair and thought of the past. He rose at last with an impatient word. "It is madness to brood over what cannot be undone," he said to himself. "I must 'dree my own weird' without a word to any living soul.
I wur tell'd Paddington wur the Lunnon stashun by a porter, an' I look'd round vor Sairy Jane, as she sed as how her ud be heer at one o'clock; and porter sed 'twer then dree o'clock, an' likely Sairy Jane had gone away.

We should ha' had more to walk if we had na ridden, and I'm sure both you and I'se* weary o' tramping. *"I have not been, nor IS, nor never schal." Wickliffe's Apology, p.
"'Tis well!" says Stroke, sternly. "That man hath ever slipped between me and my right. His time will come." "He floppeth thee he flouteth thee from the battlements." "Ha, 'tis well!" "Ay." "Ghost thou alone?" "Ay." "I must dree my dreed." "These women is kittle cattle." "The Stuart hath ever a soft side for them. Ah, my trusty foster-brother, knowest thou not what it is to love?"
