"Ye villain!" she cried, with delighted indignation, "I didn't mean nawthing about that, an' ye knew ud! Here, git out o' this carridge!" But she made no effort to eject him.

"I don't say that he ain't," was the answer, "but if he be, he's nigh on seven foot high, and sitting airing of hissel in a stone bath." "Oh, rubbish," said the Colonel. "How can a skeleton sit and air himself? He would tumble to bits." "I don't know, but there he be, and they don't call this here place 'Dead Man's Mount' for nawthing."
"Why are all the stands closed this morning?" she asked of an urchin. "'Cause nawthing 's come ter town along of the fightin'." "Fighting?"
