'Cause ef yuh'd gi' me a free hand thar'd be a dozen er so less bohunks the fus' night fer supper. I jes' natcherl hate hidin' my feelin's." He repeated the sigh more hopelessly. "Yuh'd never git the work did; thar ain't bohunks enough in the world." Torrance clutched his hand; here in an unexpected quarter was a man to his liking.
Bess; and then, her voice shaking with excitement which got the better of her and forced her to reveal herself, she added, "I've fun' out that as yo've been hidin'." Abrupt and unprefaced as her speech was, it scarcely produced the effect she had expected it would. Her charge neither flinched nor reddened. He laid a weak, rough hand upon her dress with a feebly pleading touch.
"Do you happen to have heard, I wonder, anything of his attitude toward the present owner of the Hall?" "Happen to have heard!" Peterkin threw back his head and gasped.

And then another man come through the woods while I was hidin' and found the clothes and took them away." He stopped and stared at her gloomily. But all this was unintelligible to the girl. "Dad would have got the better of him ef you hadn't," she said eagerly, "so what's the difference?" "All the same," he said gloomily, "I must take his place."
Shairp, the housekeeper, with whom he was a favourite, uttered a startled exclamation at his appearance. "Guid guide us, sirs! and whaur hae ye been hidin' yoursel' a' this day an' nicht, Mr. Hugo? We've baen sair trouble i' th' hoose, and naebody kent your whaurabouts. Bairn! but ye're just droukit! Whaur hae you hidden yoursel' then?" "Hidden!"

Roy was quite taken aback. "You're quite mistaken let us explain we've come to see you and do you good. Don't you know who we are? We live at the Manor. Look get back into bed again, you'll take cold.

Helpin' him t' waste his time! She can't come in here!" "Stand out o' me way!" cried the Father. "I'm comin' in, and this lady with me!" "Don't y' try t' tell me what y're goin' t' do!" replied Big Tom.
