What did he do that you should abuse him, you nager you? and it's well known that you're a nager, and that your heart's in the shillin'. Oh! it's long before you'd go to fair or market and bring home the best gown, or shawl, or mantle in it to the only sister you have, as he does.

"Well," said the examiner, when she had finished, "I think you must be the worst cook in this part of the country." "No, mum, I'm not," said Molly.
