His father does not give him money, I suppose?" "There's little enough to give him, Mr. Fenwick. When he is at the mill his father do pay him a some'at over and above his keep. It isn't much, sir. Young men must have a some'at in their pockets at times." "He has too much in his pockets, I fear. I wish he had nothing, so that he needs must come home for his meals. He works at the mill, doesn't he?"
"Why do you make me go in? I want to hear about the poor miners; I want to help them, as well as Anne Valery." "Do'ee help we, Missus!" implored the man, softened by a woman's kind looks. "Do'ee give we some'at to keep 'un fra starving!" "Starving!" cried Agatha in horror. And even her husband's anxiety was for the moment quelled in the deep pity which overspread his countenance.
There's been some'at at the back of his head, rapping, and rapping, and rapping; and if you don't do something, I'm thinking it will rap him too hard yet." "Is he in bed?" "Why, yes, he is in bed; for when he was first took he couldn't very well help hisself, so we put him to bed.
"I think I see some'at in the stream," quoth he, and the men stopped; and after a short time, proceeded to search. It proved to be the dead body of Lord Hartledon, caught amongst the reeds.

I took it for some'at else, more's the grief! but it looks, for all the world, like a ghost in the moonlight." "What is in the pound?" demanded Jan. "It's a white cow," responded Susan Peckaby. "And it strikes me as it's Farmer Blow's.

"I say, boy, I've been turnin' matters over in my mind a bit, and it seems to me as a v'yage or two in a coaster 'd do you a power o' good afore you ships aboard a `South-Spainer. You're as handy a lad as a man need wish to be shipmates with, aboard a fore-and-aft-rigged craft; but you ought to know some'at about square-rigged vessels too afore you sails foreign.
"Oh, Mrs. ," said Herbert, "I beg your pardon, but might I ask your name?" "No offence, sir, none in life. My name's Whereas. Martha Whereas, and 'as been now for five-and-twenty year.
