"'Tis just as mad a thought wan way as t'other, and if you'm surprised so be I. To be a tale-bearer at your time o' life!" "That gormed Blanchard's bewitched 'e from fust to last!" burst out Billy. "If a angel from heaven comed down-long and tawld 'e the truth 'bout un, you wouldn't b'lieve. God stiffen it! You make me mad!
"She'd gived me her word 'fore ever Blee axed her. I seed her essterday, to hear final 'pon the subjec', an' she tawld me straight, bein' sober as you at the time, as 't was me she wanted an' meant for to have.
Death's such a struggle at the finish for the full-blooded kind. Doctor tawld me that if she'd had the leastest bit o'liver left, he could 'a' saved her; but 'twas all soaked up by neat brandy, leaving nought but a vacuum or some such fatal thing." "Her hadn't the use of her innards for a full fortnight! Think o' that! Aw. dallybuttons! It do make me cream all awver to hear tell of!"
"Cruel fashion weather for pilchur fishin' us have had cruel fashion weather. I knawed 'tweer comin', same as Noah knawed 'fore the flood, 'cause the Lard tawld me. 'Forty years long was I grieved wi' this generation. But man tries the patience o' God these days. We'm like the Ruan Vean men: 'doan't knaw an' won't larn." "Iss fay, mister, true 'nough; but tell me 'bout 'e all an' an' my Joan.
"Was theer anything else as shawed anything 'bout en?" "No awnly a picksher of a ship he painted for her. I burned that tu; an' I'd a burned his money if I could. He painted her I knaw that much. She tawld us wan night a gert picksher near as large as life. He took it to Lunnon for a shaw, I s'pose." "I'd think of en no more if I was you, Joe," said Uncle Chirgwin.
"I've downed Matthew Bent, Joan! Ten fair rounds, then he gived up." "Fight, fight, fight 'tis all you think of," said his parent, while Joan poured congratulations on the conqueror. "'Tweer bound to come arter the football, when he played foul, an' I tawld en so. Now, we'm friends." "Be he bruised same as you?" "A sight worse; he's a braave picksher, I tell 'e!
"Well, faither, he'm contrary to sich things, as I tawld 'e, Mister Jan. Faither said Joe'd better by a deal keep his money in his purse; but he let me have the picksher, an' 'tis nailed up in a lil frame, what Joe made, at home in the parlor." She stopped a moment and sighed, then spoke again. "Faither's a wonnerful God-fearin' man, sure 'nough." "Is he a God-loving man too, Joan?" "I dunnaw.
"Very onhandsome of 'e, Mr. Grimbal," declared the stout Chappie; "an' you so young an' in the prime of life, tu!" Here Phoebe met them, and Mr. Blee, observing the signs of tears upon her face, supposed that anxiety for him had wet her cheeks, and comforted his master's child. "Doan't 'e give way, missy. 'T is all wan, an' I ban't 'feared of the tomb, as I've tawld 'em.
"My God, you've shook the sawl of un!" cried Billy, starting forward, but the miller with an effort recovered his self-possession, scanned the paper, dropped it, and lifted up his voice in lamentation. "True past altering 't is a thing done! May God forgive you for this wicked deed, Phoebe Lyddon I'd never have b'lieved it of 'e never not if an angel had tawld me.
But awnly the birds an' the rabbits heard me. An' next day faither turned me out o' his house an' counted me numbered for hell." "Saints be very well, but 'tedn' in 'cordance with what we'm tawld nowadays to pray to any but the Lard direct." He pleaded long and patiently, humbly praying for the religion which had lightened his own road.
