"I've done warned young men off from co'tin' ye on pain of harm an' death an' when I'm dead they'll come in lavish numbers seekin' ter make up fer lost time."

'T was of you I thought when I talked to Mr. Grimbal. He'm well-to-do, and be seekin' a house in the higher quarter under Middledown. You an' him have the same fancy for the auld stones. So you might grow into friends eh, Clem? Couldn't it so fall out? He might serve to help eh?
