"Would to heaven it had been! Lucy, what if he were the man I was fated to " "He? Why, he's a praste, a Popish praste, that can't marry if he would, poor wratch." "He is none; and I have cause enough to know it!" And, for want of a better confidant, Rose poured into the willing ears of her companion the whole story of yesterday's meeting. "He's a pretty wooer!" said Lucy at last, contemptuously.
Nobody to care for you, indade, with the gentry comin' every day to inquire for you, the praste a readin' his prayers in this very room, and the foine gintleman who was on the ship a sittin' down stairs three mortal hours waitin' to know if you waked up dead or alive, and thankin' God when it was alive I told him you was."

It was big lies mostly whin I was a listing."
