"Jim Hook, he was a-going by the pond one night, and he see'd it," cried the boy earnestly. "It don't take two minutes longer to cut down Clay Lane, please, sir." "Be off, then," said Jan, "and see how quick you can be. What has put such a thing into his head?" he presently asked of the gamekeeper, who was hard at work preparing hot water. "Little fools!" ejaculated the man.
Poor Sarah was a wonderful hand at managin' pigs, says he, 'an I never see'd her equal for bringin' up chicken. No! he says, 'I don't regret it."

"Man with ugly face what drank at Peter Dealtry's, and knew Master Aram, knew him in a crack, sure he's a Tartar!"
Then I sang out to mun `Cap'n Drake, says I, `if you don't come aboard this very minute, says I, `the ship'll break adrift and go off and leave ye behind. The Cap'n took a look round, see'd that evrybody else but hisself was either cut down or took prisoner, and, flinging his soord in the face of a man that tried to stop mun, leaped clean off quay, seized the hawser in 's hands as mun jumped, and come aboard that way, hand over hand.
