But she lay speechless, and, as far as she could be, motionless, the bed trembling under her with the quivering she could not still. Philip's wild tones caught the nurse's ears, and she entered full of the dignified indignation of wisdom. 'Are yo' for killing yo'r wife, measter? she asked. 'She's noane so strong as she can bear flytin' and scoldin', nor will she be for many a week to come.
'Ay, she's noane forgotten it, and has done her five stitches a day, bless her; and a dunnot believe as yo' know her again. She's Phoebe Moorsom, and a'm Hannah, and a've dealt at t' shop reg'lar this fifteen year. 'I'm very sorry, said Philip. 'I was up late last night, and I'm a bit dazed to-day.
'Nay, my lass, I'm noane forgetting yo'. I'd a sore heart a' last winter a-thinking on thee, when that chap Kinraid were hanging about thee. I'll noane speak ill on the dead, but I were uneasylike. But sin' Philip and thee seem to ha' made it up Sylvia shivered, and opened her mouth to speak, but did not say a word.
He even urged secrecy upon Sylvia as a personal favour; unwilling to encounter the silent blame which he openly affected to despise. 'We'll noane fret thy mother by lettin' on how oft he came and went. She'll, may-be, be thinkin' he were for speakin' to thee, my poor lass; an' it would put her out a deal, for she's a woman of a stern mind towards matteremony.
I think that's safe for her to have all, is 't not, William? 'I think so, too, said he, writing on all the time. 'And thee shalt have t' roller and paste-board, because thee's so fond o' puddings and cakes. It 'll serve thy wife after I'm gone, and I trust she'll boil her paste long enough, for that's been t' secret o' mine, and thee'll noane be so easy t' please.
Kester shrank from her look, and even more from her silence. 'A'm come to ax pardon, said he, after a little pause. She was still silent. 'A'm noane above axing pardon, though a'm fifty and more, and thee's but a silly wench, as a've nursed i' my arms. A'll say before thy mother as a ought niver to ha' used them words, and as how a'm sorry for 't.
'My father, and my father's father, and my husband had it a-top of theirs, and I'm noane going for to cease fra' following after them, for they were godly men, though my husband were o' t' episcopal persuasion. 'It's done, said William. 'Hast thee dated it? asked Alice. 'Nay. 'Then date it third day, ninth month. Now, art ready? Coulson nodded.
Coulson doesn't know how t' manage his own business, let alone half the business as it took John and Jeremiah's heads ay, and tasked 'em, too to manage. I've no patience with Coulson. 'Why? he's a decent young fellow as ever there is in Monkshaven. 'He may be. He's noane cut his wisdom-teeth yet. But, for that matter, there's other folks as far fra' sense as he is. 'Ay, and farther.
Widow Dobson held her hand in hers for a minute, then the humble woman said, 'Yo'll noane be vexed wi' me, missus, if a cannot find i' my heart t' turn him out till he wants to go hissel'? For a wouldn't like to vex yo', for Christopher's sake; but a know what it is for t' feel for friendless folk, an' choose what may come on it, I cannot send him away. 'No! said Sylvia.
Bell Robson leant forward towards Philip, misinterpreting the expression on his face, which was guilt as much as sympathy, and checked the possible repentance which might have urged him on at that moment to tell all he knew, by saying, 'Lad! it's a' for t' best. He were noane good enough for her; and I misdoubt me he were only playin' wi' her as he'd done by others.
