'She's noane so strong as she can bear flytin' and scoldin', nor will she be for many a week to come.
'She's getten' a basket wi' sausages in 'em, as my missus has made, and she's a rare hand at sausages; there's noane like her in a' t' three Ridings, I'll be bound!

But Sylvia's quick sense caught up the manner in which Mrs.
Alice looked sharply at him from over her spectacles, which she had put on the better to think about the disposal of her property. 'Thee art thinking on our Hester, said she, plainly out.

Alice said, 'Hush thee, Hester. It's no business o' thine. Sylvia Hepburn, thou'rt speaking like a silly child. 'No. I'm speaking like a woman; like a woman as finds out she's been cheated by men as she trusted, and as has no help for it. I'm noane going to say any more about it.

'I'm o' right age, not two months betwixt us; and there's few in Monkshaven as would think on her wi' better prospects than me; and she knows my folks; we're kind o' cousins, in fact; and I'd be like a son to her mother; and there's noane i' Monkshaven as can speak again' my character.
