"I'm vary sorry to laave, maaster, but I knaw I am gettin' owd and used up." "And what will you do for a livelihood, Abe? I'm afraid you would not be likely to get employment anywhere else at your age, what will you do?"
I gave Owd Jerry and the childer their tea, but I wouldn't sit down wi' 'em misen, but kept going to the windey to see if Mike and Amos were coming wi' the stirks. I looked out, happen six or seven times, and there was nobody on the road; but at last I set een on Mike and other lads frae the farms round about. They were carrying somebody on a hurdle."
Dunnot thou go frettin' thysel' this road; nobry knows what's goin' to come about i' this world." Martin's eyes travelled slowly from the ceiling to her face with a puzzled, discontented gaze. "If th' owd lad dees afore next year it 'ull spile everything 'twouldn't be no satisfaction to walk oftener nor him if he were dead."
I doan't know t' reets on 't missel, but I'st be sorry when yo conno see ony moor where Miss Charlotte an Miss Emily used to sit o' Sundays An theer's th' owd house. Yo used to be 'lowed to see Miss Charlotte's room, where she did her writin, but they tell me yo can't be let in now. Seems strange, doan't it, 'at onybody should be real fond o' that place?
Ivery time I heerd the owd man hoast I thought he were boun' to dee. But he was better that day nor he'd been for a long while, and he kept mending all the time. I couldn't forget, howiver, what I'd done, and the thought of how I'd yielded to the devil's ticement made me more patient and gentle wi' Jerry nor iver I'd been afore.
Ye want to get summat out'n me, ey con see that plain enough, an os ye stand there glenting at me wi' your sly little een, ye look loike an owd fox ready to snap up a chicken o' th' furst opportunity." "Your comparison is not very flattering, Jennet," replied Potts; "but I pass it by for the sake of its cleverness. You are a sharp child, Jennet a very sharp child.

"Nawe." "Eh, dear!... Well, yo known, they'n had a deal o' bother about music up at that chapel, this year or two back.
She said," My husban' were th' o'erlooker o' th'weighvers at "Owd Tom's. They stopt to fettle th' engine a while back, an' they'n never started sin'. But aw guess they wi'n do some day." We had not many yards to go to the next place, which was a poor cottage in Fletcher's Row, where a family of eight persons resided.
"It goes oop to Marly Head, and joins on to th' owd road t' Roman road, foak calls it along top o' t' fells. An' if yo follers that far enoof you may coom to Ullswatter an' Pen'rth." "Thank you. Good afternoon," said Hester, moving on.
But she could remember Bill Oliver's father a journeyman needlemaker; and th' Rivers wor gentry i' th' owd days o' th' Henrys, as onybody might see by looking into th' registers i' Morton Church vestry." Still, she allowed, "the owd maister was like other folk naught mich out o' t' common way: stark mad o' shooting, and farming, and sich like." The mistress was different.
