He'll come in. He'll find us here." "He wawn't." But Jim shut the door. "We're saafe enoof. But 'tis naw plaace for yo. Yo'll mook yore lil feet. Staay there where yo are tell I tall yo."
And the next moment he went straight to the matter in hand. "An' what's this thing you've coom to aassk me, Miss Cartaret?" "Well" she looked at him and her gray eyes were soft and charmingly candid "it was if you'd be kind enough to sing at our concert. You've heard about it?" "Ay, I've heard about it, right enoof." "Well won't you? You have sung, you know." "Yes. I've soong.
It's from Donald, sure enoof. He held it up triumphantly. Nelly's heart leapt and sank. How often in the first months of her grief had she seen in visions that blessed symbolic letter held up by some ministering hand! only to fall from the ecstasy of the dream into blacker depths of pain. 'Oh, Mr. Backhouse, I'm so glad! was all she could find to say. But her sweet trembling face spoke for her.
"Yo' wouldn' 'ave a good-fer-noothin' falla like mae, would yo, laass? Look yo' it's nat that I couldn' 'ave married yo'. I could 'ave married yo' right enoof. An' it's nat thot I dawn' think yo' pretty. Yo're pretty enoof fer me. It's it's I caan't rightly tall whot it is." "Dawn' tall mae. I dawn' want t' knaw." He looked hard at her.

Rowcliffe was interested. Alice was really displaying considerable intelligence. Almost she persuaded him that her errand was genuine. "Do you think Essy Gale could get him to come?"
"What's the matter with her?" said Hubert abruptly, as soon as he judged that they were out of hearing of the couple in front. "Who do you mean? Laura? Why, she's well enoof!" "Then she don't look it. She's fretting. What's wrong with her?" As Hubert looked down upon his sister, Polly was startled by the impatient annoyance of look and manner. And how red-rimmed and weary were the lad's eyes!
At that Essy began to cry, softly, in her manner. "Doan' yo tall mae thot taale." Mrs. Gale suddenly paused in her tirade and began to poke the fire with fury. "It's enoof t' sicken t' cat!" She snatched the kettle that stood upon the hob; she stamped out to the scullery and re-filled it at the tap. She returned, stamping, and set it with violence upon the fire.
