He is the noblest. I want no pity least of all yourn. I've been a very lucky woman and everybody knaws it whatever they may say here an' theer." She was strong before him now; her temper appeared in her voice and she took her basket and rose to leave him. "Wait one moment. Chance threw us here, and I'll never speak to you again if you resent it.
I ban't 'feared of nothing a hatch-mouthed, crooked-minded man, same as you be, can do. An' if I'm a hound, you 'm a dirty red fox, an' everybody knaws who comes out top when they meet. Steal my gal, would 'e? Gaw your ways, an' mend your ways, an' swallow your bile. I doan't care a flicker o' wildfire for 'e!" Hatch-mouthed = foul mouthed; profane.
For they larn to behave theirsens like gentlemen born, fit for t' fost o' coompany they tell me t' Widdy herself is fond of a good dog and knaws one when she sees it as well as onny body: then on t' other hand a-tewin' round after cats an' gettin' mixed oop i' all manners o' blackguardly street-rows, an' killin' rats, an' fightin' like divils.
I heard a malignant, crackly laugh by the fire, and turning, beheld that odious Joseph standing rubbing his bony hands, and quivering. "I wer sure he'd sarve ye out! He's a grand lad! He's getten t' raight sperrit in him! He knaws ay, he knaws, as weel as I do, who sud be t' maister yonder Ech, ech, ech! He made ye skift properly! Ech, ech, ech!" "Where must we go?"
If not I'll bear it." "Ess fay, I'm done for; credit, fortune, all gone. It might have been death if us had been to war at the time." She clung to him and her head swam. "Death! God's mercy! you've never killed nobody, Will?" "Not as I knaws on, but p'r'aps ban't tu late to mend it. It freezes me it freezes my blood to think what his thoughts have been. No, no, ban't death or anything like that.
Next week, come what may, I'll speak to him and tell him the truth, like a plain, blunt man." "Do 'e that very thing," urged Chris. "Say we'm lovers these two year an' more; an' that you'd be glad to wed me if your way o' life was bettered. Ban't beggin', as he knaws, for nobody doubts you'm the most book-learned man in Chagford after parson."
"Iss, but you won't do it, though," returned Joan, "'cos there ain't no manin' in what he says, you knaw. 'Tis only what he's told up to scores and hunderds o' other maidens afore, the rapskallion-rogued raskil! And that Adam knaws, and's had it in his mind from' fust along what game he was after. Us two knaws un for what he is, my dear wan best loved where he's least trusted."
"An' so you alias have, Polly, since you was a grawed gal; an' God knaws it. But do'e think as you could in a manner o' speakin' hide names from passon? Ban't no call to tell what's fallen out to other folks. Joan eh, Polly? Might 'e speak in a parable like same as Scripture wi'out namin' no names. For Joan's sake, Mary eh?" She was silent a full minute, then answered slowly.
Aw connot stur a fut fur folks as knaws mo, and knaws mo name, and knaws what aw be after. Lonnon is a dreedfu' plaze. Aw mun geet mo lass to whoam. Yo'll mind th' shop till th' maister cooms back. War. You'd better stop. The man will be back directly. You're too suspicious. Tho. Nea, maister, thae'rt wrung theer. Aw've trusted too mich a theawsand times too mich. War.
I'm weary of all this bunkum 'bout auld stones an' circles an' the rest; I'm sick an' tired o' leavin' my work a hunderd times in summer months to shaw gaping fules from Lunnon an' Lard knaws wheer, them roundy-poundies 'pon my land. 'Tis all rot, as every moorman knaws; yet you an' such as you screams if us dares to put a finger to the stone nowadays. Ban't the granite ours under Venwell?
