Darley looked at her sharply, but with some signs of sympathy on his grave face. 'My woman, he said 'a could ha' wished as you'd niver seen t' watch. It's poor, thankless work thinking too much on one o' God's creatures. But a'll do thy bidding, he continued, in a lighter and different tone. 'A'm a 'cute old badger when need be.
