'But I'll miss ye, Davie, Mat Morgan observed, as he and his little friend trudged on side by side to work; 'ye be bright and cheery-like down there, pointing with his pipe towards the pit. 'And maybe ye'll forget the missis and me when ye gets to be a great man, as ye says ye'll be one day, and I makes no doubt but ye will be too.
Guess it don't pay to be honest " Laura gave him a quick look. In a significant tone of voice, she said: "You don't really think that?" The man shook his head dubiously. "No, maybe not. Ever since I married the missis and the first kid come we figured the only good money was the kind folks worked for and earned. But when you can't get hold of that, it's tough."
Sniff, though scarcely less convulsed than she were, got up and held the tumbler to them. "This," proceeds Our Missis, "was my first unconstitutional experience.

Why, you must be crazy; that dancing must 'ave got into your 'ead." "Where's the 'arm?" he ses, very sulky. "'Arm?" I ses.

"She won't 'ave the chance," I ses, "so that's all about it."
Miller Lyddon was about to suggest a night-cap for Billy, but changed his mind. "Enough 's as gude as a feast," he said. "Canst get up-stairs wi'out help?" "Coourse I can! But the chap to the 'Green Man's' that perfuse wi' his liquor at seasons of rejoicing. More went down than was chalked up; I allow that. If you'll light my chamber cannel, I'll thank 'e, missis; an' a Happy New Year to all."
"SHE! She never licks anybody whacks 'em over the head with her thimble and who cares for that, I'd like to know. She talks awful, but talk don't hurt anyways it don't if she don't cry.

But Mars Tom I's powerful 'fraid ole missis "

Moss growling and jeering every step he took, and I, deadly in earnest. "'It's under here, I said, halting over a flagstone in the corner of the vault.
