"Michael, cartwright, at corner." "Is it a good match?" "He's got his match, and she's got hern." "They are well matched, then," said Bertha, laughing. "They're a pair," said Dan, grimly. "He's eagre, and she's mustard; and they'll none mix ill but they'll set folks' throats a-fire as meddles wi' 'em." Eagre is the old English word for vinegar, which is just "wine-eagre."

But Edny Ann went on calling: "O Als'on! O Als'on! come yere!" Little Lizay pleaded in a frantic way for silence as she saw Alston coming with long strides up between the cotton-rows toward them. "I wants yer ter ten' ter Lizay," said Edny Ann. "Her's been stealin' yer cotton: see'd 'er do it see'd 'er take a heap er cotton outen yer baskit an' ram it into hern. Did so!"
