I've heerd my grandmither say it worn't worth a Christian man's while to live in Needham Farm when Jenny Crum wor about. She meddled wi everythin wi his lambs, an his coos, an his childer. I niver seed nothin mysel, so I doan't say nowt not o' my awn knowledge. But I doan't soomhow bleeve as it's th' Awmighty's will to freeten a Christian coontry wi witches, i' th' present dispensation.
'I doan't know, said the boy, 'what soart o' tales? 'Why, they'd use to say th' witch walked, on soom neets i' th' year Easter Eve, most pertickerlerly an foak wor feeart to goo onywhere near it on those neets. But doan't yo goo listenin to tales, Davy, said Reuben, with a paternal effusion most rare with him, and born of his recent proceedings; 'yo'll only freeten yorsel o' neets for nothin.
The wild circling moor seemed suddenly to have gained a mysterious interest. 'Didn't I tell yo he wor gone silly? said Louie, triumphantly, at his elbow. 'He's not gone that silly, onyways, but he can freeten little gells, remarked David, dryly, instinctively putting out an arm, meanwhile, to prevent her disturbing the poor sleeper. 'I worn't freetened, insisted Louie; 'yo were!
At lang length I crept downstairs agean i' my stocking feet into the kitchen. All was whisht as the grave, and the fire was by now nearly out, so that there were no flame-deevils to freeten me. So I took the riddle that I'd gotten ready afore and began to riddle the ash all ower the hearthstone.
"He's gone he'll not freeten nobody he wor here three days afore they buried him. I could no let him go but it's three weeks now sen they put him away." "Why, Mary, what is it? Not James! not your son!" said George, letting her guide him into the cottage. "Aye, it's James it's my son," she repeated drearily.
