There ben't nothing but gentle cows in the home medder. But I didn't think that you knew, you secretive person! I dare say you planned the whole thing in advance, in order to take advantage of my fright!" "Never! I am incapable of such an unnecessary subterfuge!

They was a-holdin' out their hands to me, jist like they uster do when I was a leetle lad. They looked so happy, an' they was a-smilin' at me.
