It's Doosie Caukins has begged the loan of the two little gells for the afternoon. The twins seem to me most like my own rale downright swate gells, an' it's hopin' I am they'll do well when it' comes to their marryin'." Aileen laughed merrily at the matrimonial persistence of her old chum's thoughts. "Oh, Maggie, you are an incorrigible matchmaker!"
It is but nature after all, and what we must all come to, gentle or simple. Give her a young man to walk out with and you'll see the difference. Decline indeed! A young man's what she wants. And if I know anything of gells and their ways she'll get one, no matter how close the old chap keeps her." Mrs. Symes was not so wrong as the delicate minded may suppose.
"There's no woman strives more for her children; and I'm sure at scouring-time this Lady-day as I've had all the bedhangings taken down I did as much as the two gells put together; and there's the last elder-flower wine I've made beautiful!
It was a worn and patched garment of brown alpaca, made out of an ancient gown of Hannah's. 'Wal, I'm naw judge i' these matters, said Reuben, dubiously, drawing out his spectacles.

"Anyway, I'll take 'em up on a charge of unlawful possession, pending inquiries. And the magistrate will deal with the case. Send the afflicted ones to a home, as likely as not, and the boys to a reformatory. Now then, come along, youngsters! No use making a fuss. You bring the gells along, Mr. Peasemarsh, sir, and I'll shepherd the boys."
"What with havin' first mother to nurse when I was a little gell, and then havin' Johnnie to look after, I've never had time to make myself look pretty and to get a beau, like other gells. And now I'm too old for that sort of thing, and yet I've never had my chance, as you may say." "Poor lass! It's a hard life as you've had, and no mistake." "That it is, Mr. Bateson.

But I'm an old woman, I am, and I've never had time to be a young one, and I've never had a beau nor nothing."
