"We calls it 'faking." "And ought to be given up to the authorities." "And who's to look arter the babby?" "Are you married?" "No," "Where is the baby?" "In my van." "And where is that?"
Commenting on his sudden departure, two days afterwards, Maryann said, in strict confidence, to her bosom friend "Jemimar," that she "know'd it would 'appen or somethink simular, for, even w'en a hinfant, he had refused to larf at her most smudgin' blandishments; and that she knew somethink strange would come of it, though she would willingly have given her last shilling to have prevented it, but nothink was of any use tryin' of w'en one couldn't do it, as her 'usband, as was in the mutton-pie line, said to the doctor the night afore he died, and that her 'art was quite broken about it, so it was."

'She's pretty well, replied Master Bardell, 'so am I. 'Well, that's a mercy, said Sam; 'tell her I want to speak to her, will you, my hinfant fernomenon? Master Bardell, thus adjured, placed the refractory flat candle on the bottom stair, and vanished into the front parlour with his message.

Janet's voice rang like steel as she said, "Thou canst fondle me to thy heart's content, but the 'hinfant his' a maiden grown and well able to look after her own swathings; 'twould better serve thee and us to get thee below and prepare thine 'hinfant' grown some meat and wine with etceteras, and plenty of them, for she hath a lusty and ever-present appetite.
