Oh, what lovely lilac!" as her eye rested on the flowers in the window. Mrs White had taken up her sewing again. "I always liked the laylocks myself, ma'am," she said, "partic'ler the white ones. It were a common bush in the part I lived as a gal, but there's not much hereabouts."
"Ma'am," said he, "miss, respectful greetin's. Your name's Hermione, ain't it?" "Yes," she answered, wondering. "Knowed it was. And a partic'ler fine gal too! Though not 'oldin' wi' marridge, I don't blame the Guv 'e always 'ad a quick eye for beauty like me." "But who are you? What do you want " "Miss, I want you leastways 'e does.
But a' wadna do; they took the castle at last, and a terrible slaughter they made amo' them; but they were sair disappointed in ae partic'ler, for Cummin's fouk sank a' their goud an' siller in a draw-wall, an' syne filled it up wi' stanes.

"And I suppose you can make new things if you have direction." "Well I'm pretty good at workin' out a resate, too. But then, I ain't anyways partic'ler 'bout hirin' out, as I said afore."

"I don't know what Phoebe was a-doin' upon the evenin' of the seventh o' September I rek'lect the date because Farmer Atkinson paid me my wages all of a lump on that day, and I'd had to sign a bit of a receipt for the money he give me I don't know what she was a-doin', but she warn't at the gate agen the lime-walk, so I went round to the other side o' the gardens and jumped across the dry ditch, for I wanted partic'ler to see her that night, as I was goin' away to work upon a farm beyond Chelmsford the next day.
