'Theer's my grandfeyther, said 'Lias, almost in a whisper, 'an owd Needham an his two brithers, an yoong Jack Needham's woife her as losst her babby an yoong lads an lasses fro Clough End, childer awmost, and t' coonstable, an Passon Maine Ay ay yo've doon it! Yo've doon it! She'll mak naw moor mischeef neets she's gay quiet now! T' watter's got her fasst enough!
But nowt's worth a quarrel, my dear NOWT. I remember Harold's grandfeyther he were th' second of us, your grandfeyther were the eldest, and I were the youngest I remember Harold's grandfeyther chasing his wife all over th' town wi' a besom a week after they were married. 'With a besom! murmured Maud, pained and forgetting to cry. 'Harold's grandfather, not mine?
He stopped, threw up his head, and with his skinny fingers drew back his long, straggling locks from his sunken cheeks, and stared in her face. The quick transition of fascination, repulsion, shock, and indefinable apprehension made her laugh hysterically. To her terror he joined in it, and eagerly clasped her wrists. "Eh, lass! tha knaws John tha coomes from un to ole grandfeyther. Who-rr-u!
'Well, lass, he continued persuasively, sitting up in his chair, 'us ignored young Fred for more till twenty year. And it wasna' right. Hannah said it wasna' right as Fred should suffer for his mother and his grandfeyther. And then us give Fred and your John an equal chance, and John's lost, and now John isna' satisfied, by all accounts. She gazed at him with a gentle smile.
Oh!" exclaimed Janice, tugging at the man's sleeve, "what are you doing to Delia?" "'Delia, is it? More of her foolishness. She's Biddy Burns, and her husband is dead lucky man that he is. And I'm her feyther and the grandfeyther of her two babies Tessie and 'Melia. And if she don't come home this minute with me, I'll put the young ones in a home, so I will!"
"My grandfeyther seen un once not a hundred yards from the very spot were we wor standin' last night, and, sure enough, he died afore three months wor out. Dick and I couldn't tell what it wor we see creepin' out o' th' shadder o' th' wood, an' to tell yow th' trewth, ma'aster, we didn't care to look agen. I asked Dick if he didn't think it wor Black Shuck.
Her voice rose to a kind of cry. "His feyther died ov it, and his grandfeyther afore that. His grandfeyther wor found dead i the roadside, after they'd made him blind-drunk at owd Morse's public-house, where the butty wor reckonin with im an his mates. But he'd never ha gone near the drink if they'd hadn't druv him to't, for he wasn't inclined that way.
The challenged lad in Mynors' yard slowly approached the slip-house door, and halted before Eli Machin, grinning. 'Well, young un, the old man said absently, 'what dost want? 'Tiddy-fol-lol, grandfeyther, the child drawled in his silly, irritating voice, and added: 'They said I darena say it to ye.
This bit of land is mine; not a doubt of it; but we're poor, sir." "Indeed we is," said the woman. "What with taxes and rates, and them foxes as won't let me rear a head of poultry and them brutes of birds as eats up the corn, I often tells him he'd better sell the bit o' land and just set up for a public." "It belonged to my feyther and grandfeyther," said Goarly.
The Reddy o' that day he was thy grandfeyther's grand-feyther as like as not maybe he was his grandfeyther for aught as I can tell, for it's a deadly-dreadful heap o' time long past the Reddy o' that day went to the wars, and fowt for Cromwell. The Mountain o' that time stopped at hum. Up to then they'd niver been misfriended as fur as I know. That's how it's put about, anyway.
