It sounds wild, happen, but it wasna so wild after aw. Her bits of clothes giv' out an' she had no money; an' theer wur Dave's things.
An' then Dan comn an' he made way wi' yo' as he made way wi' aw th' rest men an' women an' children. He niwer worked an' waited as I did he niwer thowt an' prayed as I did; everything come easy wi' him everything allus did come easy wi' him, an' when I seed him so light-hearted an' careless about what I wur cravin' it run me daft an' blind.
When I fun' her out by accident, she towd me, an' sin' then we 've kept th' secret together. Do yo' guess what else theer's been betwixt us, mester?" "I think I do," he answered. "God forgive me for my share in her pain!" "Nay," she returned, "it was no fault o' thine. She niwer had a thowt o' that.

"I hadna towd mysen' as owt wur exactly wrong; on'y I conna see things clear. I niwer could, an' th' more I ax mysen' questions th' worse it gets. Wheer wheer could I lay th' blame?" "Th' blame!" said Bess.
'D'ye s'pose I niwer see a lookin'-glass? Where's the man'll marry me widout me money? "Me face is me forchune, sor," sez she. "Tek it to the gravel bank an' have it cashed, then," sez he.
