"Nay" to Ellinor "it will do him no harm; only bring back his senses, which, poor gentleman, are scared away. We shall need all our wits. Now, sir, please answer my question. Did anyone see Measter Dunster come here?" "I don't know," said Mr. Wilkins, recovering his speech. "It all seems in a mist. He offered to walk home with me; I did not want him. I was almost rude to him to keep him off.
'Yo've called me impudent, and a liar, and a mischief-maker, and yo' might ha' said wi' some truth, as I were now and then given to drink. An' I ha' called you a tyrant, an' an oud bull-dog, and a hard, cruel master; that's where it stands. But for th' childer. Measter, do yo' think we can e'er get on together? 'Well! said Mr.
If you speak to him he answers you sturdily if you can catch the meaning of his words, doubly difficult from accent and imperfect knowledge of construction. But he means well, and if you send him on an errand will run off to find 'measter' as fast as his short stature will allow.
There's summut in th' weather, I reckon, as sets folk a-wandering. My measter, him at th' shop yonder, is spinning about th' world somewhere. 'Is that the reason you're so soon at home to-night? asked Margaret innocently. 'Thou know'st nought about it, that's all, said he, contemptuously. 'I'm not one wi' two faces one for my measter, and t'other for his back.
Another fellow now came up, and asked which way the gentlemen were going; of which being informed by Jones, he first scratched his head, and then leaning upon a pole he had in his hand, began to tell him, "That he must keep the right-hand road for about a mile, or a mile and a half, or such a matter, and then he must turn short to the left, which would bring him round by Measter Jin Bearnes's."
Thank ye, measter," said he, as I put something into his hand; "thank ye kindly; 'tis not every one who gives me a shilling now-a-days who comes to see the church, but times are very different from what they were when I was young; I was not sexton then, but something better; helped Mr. with his horses, and got many a broad crown.
If you ple-ease, Sur, Ay'll pit oop t' horses i' Measter Minthorne's barn here, and shak' doon a bite o' hay tull 'em, and so gang on wi' you, and carry t' bag whaile four o' t' clock, and then awa back and hitch oop, and draive doon to t' aik tree!" "I understand, Tim," said his master, laughing; "I understand right well! you want to see the sport."
Hale, 'to ask your old master if he would take you back again? It might be a poor chance, but it would be a chance. He looked up again, with a sharp glance at the questioner; and then tittered a low and bitter laugh. 'Measter! if it's no offence, I'll ask yo' a question or two in my turn. 'You're quite welcome, said Mr. Hale. 'I reckon yo'n some way of earning your bread.
"It has lain two days, Measter Lynne," said the man, "for you never send but once a-week; only, as I thought by the seal it must be something grand, whoy I brought it down myself." It was from Helen! from the ambitious cousin a few sad, mournful lines, every one of which seemed dictated by a breaking heart.
'Noa, noa! donna your honour go beyond patience donna ye now, implored the wench. 'And for his neame, they say he has mair nor ane in Westmoreland and on the Scottish side. But he is but seldom wi' us, excepting in the cocking season; and then we just call him Squoire loike; and so do my measter and dame. 'And is he here at present? said I.
