"An' Peter, he said he never seen anything so pretty in all his life as " "Aw now, Tom, you're a liar! I never said anything about it." "You thought it, or your face was liar too, my boy. Like a dog after a rabbit it was." "It was just like you both to lie watching," flamed Nance.
How to get that diamond! There was a hard nut for Nance Olden's sharp teeth to crack.

"The lamb to the wolf is sold, sold, sold; No more she'll return to her fold, fold, fold And Sow Nance will dare another to snare, And the wolf shall have her for gold, gold, gold!"
There isn't another girl in the world that's as much fun as you are and yet on the square every minute." "It isn't on the square!" contradicted Nance, twisting her wet handkerchief into a ball.

And not only shall she be sent thither, but all her partners in guilt Mother Demdike and her accursed brood, the Devices; old Chattox and her grand-daughter, Nance Redferne: not one shall escape." "You do not include Alizon Device in your list?" cried Richard. "I include all I will spare none," rejoined Nowell, sternly. "Then I will move no further with you," said Richard.
She arrived at eight o'clock, helped Susan in the basement kitchen, until Miss Bobinet awoke, then went aloft to officiate at the elaborate process of that lady's toilet.
