The maid was fair: it was fortunate that he was thinking of the mistress. 'Speak on, said Evan, but Polly put the question whether her face did not want washing, and so earnestly that he had to regard it again, and compromised the case by saying that it wanted kissing by Nicholas Frim, which set Polly's lips in a pout.
Nicholas Frim mustn't see us riding into Beckley, said Evan. 'Oh, my gracious! Ought I to get down, sir? Polly made no move, however. 'Is he jealous? 'Only when I make him, he is. 'That's very naughty of you. 'Yes, I know it is all the Wheedles are. Mother says, we never go right till we 've once got in a pickle. 'You ought to go right from this hour, said Evan.
Nicholas Frim, and answers, after the lapse of a week, that the aforesaid can be nothing to her, as he 'went in a passion to church last Sunday and got married. It appears that they had quarrelled, 'because I danced with you that night. To this Mr.
'No: he wasn't true to his appointment the moment I wanted to go back; and I, to pay him out, I determined I'd walk it where he shouldn't overtake me, and on came the storm . . . And my gown spoilt, and such a bonnet! 'Who was the somebody? 'He's a Mr. Nicholas Frim, sir. 'Mr. Nicholas Frim will be very unhappy, I should think.

Drayton, who knew the Cotswolds, and wrote poetry about the district, uses the expression "frim pastures." "Plym" is the swelling of wood when it is immersed in water; and "thilk," another Anglo-Saxon word, means thus or the same. A mole in the Gloucestershire dialect is an "oont" or "woont."

The Fallow field boys wish that Nick Frim would come and live on their side; the boys of Beckley rejoice in possessing him. Nick is the wicketkeeper of the Beckley eleven; long-limbed, wiry, keen of eye. His fault as a batsman is, that he will be a slashing hitter. He is too sensible of the joys of a grand spanking hit. A short life and a merry one, has hitherto been his motto.
