"'Twere a scream wi' a bubble in it," he answered, speaking with an effort, "'twere like somebody shriekin' out wi' 'is throat choked up wi' blood. Jarge and me didn't wait for no more; we run. And as we run, it follered, groanin' arter us till we was out upon the road, and then it shrieked at us from the bushes. Ecod! it do make me cold to talk of it, even now.
Here's this fool, thinks I, 'wantin' a wife; an' he won't never have another chance. An' here's this maid, thinks I, 'wantin' a baby; an' she won't never have another chance. 'Tis plain t' see, thinks I, 'that God A'mighty, who made un, crossed their courses; an' I 'low, ecod! thinks I, 'that 'twasn't a bad idea He had.
Just because he kissed me just because I love him, who loves me. I'm glad I was made for him to love. 'Tis quite enough for me. I want only this I want that he may have me that, body and soul, I may satisfy his love so much I love him. Davy," she faltered, putting her hands to her eyes, "I love I love I love him!" Ecod! 'Twas too much for me.
"'Tis a wonderful clever doctor," said I to my sister, my glance fixed in amazement on her glowing cheeks, "that we got in Doctor Luke." "Ah, yes!" she sighed: but so demure that 'twas not painful to hear it. "An', ecod!" I declared, "'tis a wonderful clever medicine that he've been givin' you." "Ecod!
"Lord in Heaven! it's the man himself!" he cried in an awed tone. "Ecod! he must be made of iron!" Landless crossed the bridge and came towards the staring group. His face was white and set, and there were dark circles beneath his eyes, which had the wide unseeing stare of a sleep-walker. He walked lightly and quickly, with a free, lithe swing of his body.
'Why, the old fool's mad! cried Jonas, much disturbed. 'That's my opinion, sir, said Mrs Gamp, 'and I will not deceive you. 'Why, who minds what he says? retorted Jonas. 'Still he is worritin' sir, said Mrs Gamp. 'No one don't mind him, but he IS a ill conwenience. 'Ecod you're right, said Jonas, looking doubtfully at the subject of this conversation. 'I have half a mind to shut him up.
"Ecod, I suppose I must believe you," rejoined Dorrimore sullenly. "But what do you make of it all? Did the old woman lie?" "Without a doubt she did.

Can't you see sir, that her trick is to spring her price?
How can I give you up what I haven't got, idiot! Ecod, I'd give her up to you and welcome, if I could; and a precious pair you'd be! 'If she has come to any harm, cried Chuffey, 'mind! I'm old and silly; but I have my memory sometimes; and if she has come to any harm 'Devil take you, interrupted Jonas, but in a suppressed voice still; 'what harm do you suppose she has come to?
"Off to bed with you, you rascal!" roared the doctor. "I'll not go," I protested. "Off with you!" "Not I." "Catch un, doctor!" cried my sister. "An you can, zur!" I taunted. If he could? Ecod! He snatched at me, quick as a cat; but I dodged his hand, laughed in his face and put the table between us.

"They glow like fire, and wheresoever she moves he keeps them glued on her." "She doth not keep hers glued on him," said Sir Chris, "but looks away and holds her head up as if she would not see him."
