"Bless his little heart! I must gi' un a kiss. Here, Susannah, Susannah!" cries she, raising herself from the embrace, "come and see Mr. Benjamin and young Master Tom. You minds our Sukey, Mr. Benjamin; she be growed a rare slip of a wench since you seen her, though her'll be sixteen come Martinmas. I do aim to take her to see madam to get her a place."
Seems one o' they sodger-chaps is carr'in' on with Eve, and Jerrem's settin' her on to rig un up so that her'll get un not to see what 'tain't maned for un to look at." "Well?" said Adam. "Iss," said Zebedee, "but will it be well? That's what I keeps axin' of un. He's cock sure, sartain, that they can manage it all.
'said her mother, assenting with a philosophic air. 'That's a wench's way. When a man wants nothing her'll give him as much as her can spare. But look hither, my gell! You listen to the words of a old experienced woman. There's a better love comes after the weddin', if a gell marries a worthy solid man, than ever her knows before it. If a gell averts from a man that's another matter.
The old man looked at me gravely. "Her'll rest in the Lard's time, in the Lard's gude time but now her'll just be follerin' on with the burrd."

He gave a loud-sounding and hearty sniff, and smacked his lips after it. Rachel seemed to linger a little at the door. "Come in," said Fuller, "come in. There's nobody here as bites. Beest come to see Ruth? I doubt if her's about as yet. We ode uns bin twice as early risin' as the young uns, nowadaysen. Wait a bit and I'll gi'e her a bit of a chi-hike. Her'll be down in a minute."
But if her can abide him to begin with, and if he's a good man, her'll be fond of him before her knows it. 'I should never be fond of Mr. Thistlewood, mother, the girl answered, flushing hotly. 'It's of no use to speak about him. 'Did the man ever mek love to you at all, the mother asked, 'beyond comin' here and barkin', "Wool't marry me?"
"Thank you, kindly; and I be willing and glad for her to learn, ma'am," replied the mother, her sharp and rather free tone subdued in spite of herself by the gentle voice of Miss Leaf. Of course, living in the same country town, she knew all about the three school-mistresses, and how till now they had kept no servant. "It's her first place, and her'll be awk'ard at first, most like.
"I wrote to ask her if she would marry me," said Reuben, with desperate simplicity. "Ah!" said Fuller. "And what says her to that?" "I can't believe that I have had her answer," returned Reuben, with much embarrassment. "I found a letter in the book, but I think I am sure it is not meant for me." "You'll find Ruth i' the gardin," said Fuller, puzzled in his turn. "Her'll tell you, mayhap.

If you'll awnly give your mind to the matter an' settle it, I'll go this evenin' to wan plaace or t'other an' see the diggers," said Mary. "Sancreed for sartain. Her'll be nearer to us, an' us can see wheer she be restin' 'pon Sundays. Sancreed's best an' fittest, for she was Chirgwin all.
