Father attended to that part of the business." "Well," replied the foreman, "Oi can't talk longer wid ye this marnin'. Come 'round be th' ind of the wake," and dismissing Dennis with a nod he withdrew into the warehouse. The main feature of discouragement which presented itself to Dennis as he left this locality to ponder over its possibilities, was that the end of the week was five days off.
Sometimes when I've been reading a bit, coming along the downs all by myself like, I've seen somebody in the distance; and I've said to myself, "Well, now, if that was only to turn out to be that black-a-vised Ayrshire ploughman, it would be all over with me; it would be 'Whistle and I'll come to ye, my lad." And then some shambling fellow of a labourer has come along, straw-haired, bent-backed, twisted-kneed, and scarcely enough spirit in him to say, "Marnin t' ye good marnin t' ye, wench!"
'Tis awver an' done, an' 'twas for the best." "You'm a woman, an' can say them silly words, an' think 'em true in your heart, I s'pose. 'For the best! I caan't see much that happens for the best under my eyes. Will 'e have bite or sup?" "No, nothin'. You get back to your bed. Us'll talk in the marnin'. I'll bide here. You an' Phoebe be well, an' an' dear mother?" "We'm well.
The heat is awful, and all limbs rain perspiration: yet no one seems to mind the heat; all look fat and jolly; and they have cause to do so, for all, at every spare moment, are sucking sugar-cane. You pull up, and take off your hat to the party. The Negroes shout, 'Marnin', sa! The Coolies salaam gracefully, hand to forehead.
Encouraged by the assurance of these more familiar surroundings, Dennis cast an anxious glance about him to discover one more in authority than the others. His quest was given direction by a familiar accent. "Wake up, ye lazy divils! It's dhramin' ye are this marnin'."
The week passed quickly, and on Saturday evening, when they sat down to supper, Skipper Zeb announced: "Well, now, here 'tis time to go to the path and set up the traps. We'll be leavin' Monday marnin', lads." This was an adventure to which Charley had looked forward with keen anticipation since Skipper Zeb had first announced that he and Toby were to accompany him.
'You go up and 'ave a good knock at 'im, I says, 'and to-morrer marnin' you just go off to another bit o' country and start doin' something different. Up I got and I caught hold of this stick here and out up along I walked. Sure enough there 'e was, through the winder, bullyin' her and she crying. So I just jumped through the winder and was up on to 'im. Lord, you should 'ave seen 'im jump.
"Auld year's like to die o' frost by the looks of it a stinger, I tell 'e. Anybody seen Farmer Endicott? I've been looking for un since noon wi' a message from my faither-in-law." "I gived thicky message this marnin'," cried Billy. "Ess, I knaw you did; that's my trouble. You gived it wrong. I'll just have a pint of the treble X then. 'T is the night for 't."
There was an earthquake up at the rect'ry this marnin' the cook there sez she never 'eerd sich a row in all 'er life an' Missis Arbroath she was a-shriekin' for a divorce at the top of 'er voice! It's a small place, Weircombe Rect'ry, an' a woman can't shriek an' 'owl in it without bein' 'eerd.
I found Simon, sure enough, in the lane, seated in his cart, and his face looked squarer and grimmer even than usual. "Oh, Peter!" said he, gripping my hand, "it be come at last Gaffer be goin'." "Going, Simon?" "Dyin', Peter. Fell downstairs 's marnin'. Doctor says 'e can't last the day out sinkin' fast, 'e be, an' 'e be axin' for 'ee, Peter.
