Alizon would blush to see you here." "Then ey'n een stay an vex her," replied Jennet, sharply; "boh ey winna sit near yo onny longer, Mester Sampson Harrop, who ca' yersel gentleman usher, boh who are nah gentleman at aw, nor owt like it, boh merely parish clerk an schoolmester, an a poor schoolmester to boot. Eyn go an sit by Sukey Worseley an Nancy Holt, whom ey see yonder."
I have ever loved you, and striven to please and serve you. I have always taken your part against others, even when you were in the wrong. Oh! Jennet, you cannot hate me." "Boh ey do," replied the little girl, spitefully. "Ey hate yo now warser than onny wan else. Ey hate yo because yo are neaw lunger my sister becose yo 're a grand ledy's dowter, an a grand ledy yersel.
Yet o' coorse 'tain't to be expected as Passon would send for the town-crier from Riversford to ring a bell through the village an' say as 'ow he 'adn't nothin' to dp with Miss Vancourt nor she with 'im. Onny the worst of it is that in this wurrld lies is allus taken for truth since the beginnin', when the Sarpint told the first big whopper in the Garden of Eden an' took in poor silly Eve.
"Ah! if I'd my own way wi' ye, lass, I'd mend your temper and manners. But you come of an ill stock, ye saucy hussy." "Ey come fro' th' same stock as Alizon, onny how," said Jennet. "Unluckily that cannot be denied," replied Sampson; "but you're as different from her as light from darkness." Jennet eyed him bitterly, and then rose from the table. "Ey'n go," she said.
No wonder they're so took up wi' their scinetific muddlins over worms an' microbes an' sich-like, as to 'ave forgot what the Almighty is doin' in the workin' o' the Universe, but it's onny jest like poor prisiners in a cell wot walks up an' down, up an' down, countin' the stones in the wall with scinetific multiplication-like, an' 'splainin' to their poor lonely selves as how many stones makes a square foot, an' so many square feet makes a square yard, an' on they goes a-walkin' their mis'able little round an' countin' their mis'able little sums, an' all the time just outside the prison the flowers is all bloomin' wild an' the birds singin', an' the blue sky over it all with God smilin' behind it.
"Wi' sich misgivings ey wonder ye wish to tak Alizon, madam," said Jennet; "fo she's os much o' her mother about her os me, onny she dunna choose to show it." "Peace, thou mischievous urchin," cried Mistress Nutter, losing all patience. "Shall I take her away?" said Harrop seizing her hand. "Ay, do," said Mistress Nutter.
"What else should I want?" "Don't be kind to me," cried Bella, suddenly breaking down. "Bella!" gasped Mavis in astonishment. "Don't you start being kind to me. I ain't used to it," wept Bella. "Don't be a fool, Bella!" "I ain't a fool. I'm onny ugly and lopsided, and everyone laughs at me 'ceptin' you, and I've no one or or nothin' to care for."
But, as I sez, 'tain't no business o' mine if the fash'nables 'as trained their stummicks to be like the ostriches which eats, as I'm told, 'ard iron nails with a relish, I onny know I should 'a' bin dead an' done with long ago if I put a quarter of the stuff into me which they puts into theirselves, while some of the gentlemen drinks enough whiskey an' soda to drown 'em if 'twas all put in a tub at once "
Them's my sentiments, mates! and you can read 'em how you like, Mr. Netlips. God's in heaven we know, but there's onny churches on earth, an' we 'as to make sure whether there's men or devils inside of 'em 'fore we goes kneelin' and grubbin' in front of 'uman idols Good-night t'ye!"
"Boh we began to be afeerd we'd lost ye, an that wad ha' bin a sore mishap to lose our May Queen an th' prettiest May Queen os ever dawnced i' this ha', or i' onny other ha' i' Lonkyshiar." "We ha drunk your health, sweet Alizon," added Phil "an wishin' ye may be os happy os ye desarve, wi' the mon o' your heart, if onny sich lucky chap there be."
