"Yo' see, I was not o' much account wi' 'em all exceptin' to 'Liza Roantree, and I had a deal o' time settin' quiet at meetings and horotorio practices to hearken their talk, and if it were strange to me at beginnin', it got stranger still at after, when I was shut on it, and could study what it meaned. "Just after th' horotorios come off, 'Liza, as had allus been weakly like, was took very bad.
A deal on it were th' regular preachin' talk, but there were a vast lot as made me begin to think as he were more of a man than I'd ever given him credit for, till I were cut as deep for him as I were for mysen. 'Six candles we had, and we crawled and climbed all that day while they lasted, and I said to mysen, "'Liza Roantree hasn't six months to live."
'An' then Dr. Warbottom comes ridin' up, an' Jesse Roantree along with 'im. He was a high-larned doctor, but he talked wi' poor folk same as theirsens. "What's ta big agaate on naa?" he sings out. "Brekkin' tha thick head?" An' he felt me all ovver. "That's none broken. Tha' nobbut knocked a bit sillier than ordinary, an' that's daaft eneaf."
"'Th' art a coward and a fool, I said to mysen; an' I wrestled i' my mind again' him till, when we come to Garstang's Copper-hole, I laid hold o' the preacher and lifted him up over my head and held him into the darkest on it. 'Now, lad, I says, 'it's to be one or t'other on us thee or me for 'Liza Roantree. Why, isn't thee afraid for thysen? I says, for he were still i' my arms as a sack.

'You're bloomin' Solomons, you two, ain't you? Learoyd went calmly on, with a steady eye like an ox chewing the cud. 'And that was how I come to know 'Liza Roantree. There's some tunes as she used to sing aw, she were always singin' that fetches Greenhow Hill before my eyes as fair as yon brow across there.

You never saw him, an' an' you never seed 'Liza Roantree never seed 'Liza Roantree.... Happen it was as much 'Liza as th' preacher and her father, but anyways they all meaned it, an' I was fair shamed o' mysen, an' so I become what they call a changed character. And when I think on, it's hard to believe as yon chap going to prayermeetin's, chapel, and class-meetin's were me.
