You was allus her favoryite, ye know, miss our Sally was wet-nurse to Miss Maddyline, but Madam had you hersel'. Well, miss, I'd brought you well lapped up i' my shawl an' William Shearman that was Thomas Shearman's son, feyther to William an' Tom as lives over yonder at Pulwick village well, William was standin' in 's great sea-boots ready to carry her through th' surf into the boat; an' Mester Adrian Sir Adrian, I mean stood it might be here, miss, an' there was Renny, an' yon were th' t'other gentry.
But all was not lost yet. The other boat was coming, the other boat must be the rescue after all; the Shearman's boat, or who knows? if there was mercy in Heaven, the Peregrine, whose crew might have heard of their captain's risk. Back she raced to the seaward beach, hurling unknowing that she spoke at all invectives upon her husband's brother.
The question was suggested by the man's movements, as, after returning the parcel to his consort at the beginning of the now bare causeway, he turned tail, while she trudged forward alone. "The Shearman's house! I thought as much. Out he comes again, and not by himself. I have made acquaintance with those small bare legs before.
'And what brought it to light at last? 'Everything at once. First the clerics go to see about the family where the infant died, and report to Spencer; he comes after me, and we start to reconnoitre. Then I am called in to see Shearman's daughter a very ugly case that and coming out I meet poor Ward himself, wanting me to see Henry, and there's the other boy sickening too.

The wounded man who had not recovered consciousness, lay in the brother Shearman's hut, as René had said, surrounded by such uncouth attendance as the rude fisherfolk could dispense.
"I have now to report that I saw your man of business in Lancaster, and he has attended to the matter of the brothers Shearman's boat that was lost. I saw the young men themselves this morning. They are as grateful to Sir Adrian as people in this country can express." This last with a certain superiority.
I was looking in at Shearman's window, said Leonard, rather sheepishly, 'at the locks of the new lot he has got in, and he came and asked if I were going to choose one, for he had got a couple down from London, and the man had stupidly put his cipher on both, so he would be glad if I would take one off his hands.
