I 'ouldn't mind lending you a few hundreds, but 'Hundreds won't do, mother. I must have five thousand six hundred before this week is out, or else It is impossible you could be cruel enough to see your only son in distress, and not help him out of it. 'I have been helping you all your life, Howel. I could lend you wan thousand, and no more, and if you'll promise to be paying me soon.
You do see, Mrs Gwillim, that though Mrs Howels do be very respectable, she 'ouldn't be Mrs Howel Jenkins, Abertewey, only my Howels was too honourable not to be marrying her. I 'ould be sorry after her, but if she was to be taken, why, she couldn't go at a better time. What was you thinking of her by now? 'Very bad, ma'am, very bad, said Mrs Gwillim, ominously shaking her head.
There's Jones, the Red Cow, and Lewis, draper, are letting us have as much credit as we like; and they 'ouldn't let us have as much as a dobbin or a yard of tape before poor Griffey died. Howel drank a wine-glass of raw brandy and went upstairs with the keys in his hand.

W'at you wan' ketch mo'n you got fur?" "But I can't stay here," weakly remonstrated Dan, "and I must have something to eat I tell you I could eat nails.

'Tell you your missus that I am coming on particular business and wish to speak with her in private. Here, stop you, Shanno, where is Miss Netta? I 'ouldn't mind giving you a shilling to tell her I was wanting to see her before I am seeing her mother. The shilling was offered, and received with much satisfaction and an intelligent grin, and in less than five minutes Netta was with Mrs Jenkins.
On my deet, and I 'ouldn't say that, if I wasn't as seure as I'm alive, he haven't took a drop too much, nor said a wicked word, nor keep no low company since his poor dear father was dying. Ah, Mrs Prothero! you was being very good to us when I was losing my poor Griffey.
I 'ouldn't wonder if you was to be a councillor some day. Only to think of me, mother of Councillor Jenkins!
