And we all hope that, for there aren't nowhere a juster man nor the Squoire, and he's hale and hearty. But in course of things his time'll run out. And it be so, Mr. John, that thou be'est going for ever and allays? 'I rather think I am. 'It's wrong, Mr. John. Though maybe I'm making over-free to talk of what don't concern me. Yet I say it's wrong.
"Dunna think to deceive me, squoire," rejoined Nance; "ey knoa yo ha borrowed three hundert punds i' gowd fro' yung Ruchot Assheton; an os surely os ye ha it aw under your jerkin, so surely win yo lose it, if yo dunna turn back, or ge on without me keepin' ye company." "I have no objection on earth to your company, Nance," replied the squire; "quite the contrary.
"'Deed on it is, squoire," replied Bess, "ey wur quite glopp'nt at seet on him. Lorjus o' me! whoy, it's scarcely an hour sin he left here, looking os strong an os 'earty os yersel. Boh it's a kazzardly onsartin loife we lead. Here to-day an gone the morrow, as Parson Houlden says. Wall-a-day!"
"Nah nah squoire," replied the sufferer, speaking with difficulty, "it's neaw nat'ral ailment it's witchcraft." "Witchcraft!" exclaimed Potts, who had come up, and producing his memorandum book. "Another case. Your name and description, friend?" "John Law o' Cown, pedlar," replied the man. "John Law of Colne, I suppose, petty chapman," said Potts, making an entry.
'But Dodge and I don't feel loike standing up to 'un. We was engaged to mind the roads an' the leaves, an' a bit rabbitin', an' sich like. But this sort of job is somethin' out o' the common, Muster Mannering. We don't hold wi' it. The County they've got a powerful big road-engine, Squoire. They'll charge them gates to-morrow there 'll be a terr'ble to do. My wife, she's frightened to death.
But what I mean is; we be all glad you've come back from them out-o'-the-way parts. 'I had to go there, Holt. 'Well; we don't know much about that, sir, and I don't mean nothing about that. 'To tell the truth, my friend, I should not have done very well here unless I had been able to top-dress the English acres with a little Australian gold. 'Like enough, squoire; like enough.
But I wasn't making bold to say nothing about that. For a young gentleman to go out a while and then to come back was all very well. Most of 'em does it. But when there was a talk as you wern't to come back, and that Master George was to take the place; why then it did seem as things was very wrong. 'Master George might have been quite as good as I. 'It wasn't the proper thing, squoire.
Some folk, os maybe yo ha' seen, squoire, tak howd on a cord by both eends, an droppin it into t' river, draw it slowly along, so that they can tell by th' jerk when th' otter touches it; boh this is an onsartin method, an is nowt like Grip's plan, for wherever yo see him swimmin, t'other beast yo may be sure is nah far ahead."
And Perley, a gaunt, ugly fellow, who had been a famous hunter and trapper in his day, took off his hat and mopped his brow, before he said, in a small, cautious voice, entirely out of keeping with the rest of him: 'The treuth on it is, Squoire, we don't loike the job. We be afeard of their havin' the law on us. 'Oh, you're afraid, are you? said the Squire angrily.
No credence will be attached to thy false charges; while, as to the lady thou aimest at, she is luckily beyond reach of thy malice." "Dunna be too sure o' that, squoire," replied Jem. "Ey con put t' officers o' jestis os surely on her track os owd Crouch could set these hounds on an otter. Lay yer account on it, ey winna dee unavenged."
