'Twas all afower Gra-anny Marrable come here to marry Farmer Marrable he was her second, ye know. I was a bit of a chit then. And Ruth Thrale was fower or five years yoonger. She was all one as if she was the Gra-anny's own child. But she was noa such a thing." Then it became clear that the word or so had been very bare indeed.

Said Granny Marrable to her grandson-in-law: "'Tis Gwen o' th' Towers, John, in Tom Kettering's gig. Bide here till they come up, that I may get speech of her ladyship." "Will she stand still on th' high roo-ad, to talk to we?" "She'll never pass me by if she sees me wishful to speak with her. Her ladyship has too good a heart." "Vairy well, Gra-anny."
