When I go to Manchester, continued David emphatically, 'I shall niver touch meat. I shall buy a bag o' oatmeal like Grandfeyther Grieve lived on, boil it for mysel, wi a sup o' milk, perhaps, an soom salt or treacle to gi it a taste.

"Not if me an' Peter an' you can 'elp it, Simon, my bye but we 'm but poor worms, arter all, as the Bible says; an' if Peter 'as been an' rose 'er 'opes o' freein' Jarge, an' don't free Jarge if Jarge should 'ave to go a convic' to Austrayley, or or t' other place, why then she'll fade, fade as ever was, an' be laid in the churchyard afore 'er poor old grandfeyther!"
