Peggy was laughing so that she could scarcely talk, but she continued mirthfully: "Has thee not noticed that he is always equal to an emergency, and that he is cool and collected in danger? Sally, Sally! thee'd best give o'er such match-making plans." "Well, I do think 'twould be monstrously nice," said Sally. "So there!" "For Sally?" teased Peggy. "Nonsense!" ejaculated Sally, reddening.
"Did your mother my great-grandma believe in witches?" asked Prudy. "What did she say to Mr. Palmer?" "O, no! she had no faith in witches; thy great grandmother was a sensible woman." She said to him, "Friend Asa, thee'd better have some good strong bows made for thy cattle, and put on their necks; and then I think thee'll find they can't get out of their stalls.
She was one of those old-fashioned powerful natures that couldn't do with looks or education or any form of showing off. She fairly hated the sound of correct English. She thee'd and tha'd her prospective daughter-in-law, and said: 'I'm none as ormin' as I look, seest ta. Fanny did not think her prospective mother-in-law looked at all orming, so the speech was unnecessary.
"Here, Old Plod," she said, turning to the plow-horse, "the world has rather snubbed you, as it has honest worth before. Mr. Yocomb, you and Reuben are much too fond of gay horses." "Shall I tell Reuben that thee'd rather ride after Old Plod, as thee calls him?" "No, I thank you; I'll go on as I've begun. I'm not changeable."
The terms of this aspiration astonished him; he accepted honours easily, for he was used to observances at Starning; but to be thee'd and thou'd by this lady! As he stood there laughing and blushing like a boy she made him drink from the cup to the same wish and in the same terms. When once your frozen soul opens to the thaw all the sluices are away, truly.

"Why, we are good friends, I hope: and I am grateful." "Oh, aye wish thee'd learn to speak the truth, Jack. Art longing to be hence, and shalt soon." "Why, Joan, you would not have me dwell here always?"
But she had never been angry, and was now only too thankful that Jim and his friends had escaped safely. "Ah!" said Jim in telling his adventures, "we hed a clus run on 't, Sairy, but thee'd better believe that air British navy's a fust-rate place fur larnin' a feller ter know when he's well off.
Let her receive help from them, not as individuals, but as instruments of the Lord's protection, which it were impiety and ingratitude to deny." "There!" cried Shep. "That means thee is to let Luke Jordan finish the sheep-washing. Thee'd better have done it in the first place. We shouldn't have the old ewe to pick if thee had."
"When thee is rested we'll have a talk, lad," said his host, as they rose from the table; "but thee'd better bide with us for the summer and not fret about the future: thee dost need a holiday." "Of course thee dost, John!" said blithe little Mrs. Makepeace. "I wish thee would bide for good." Her husband laid his hand upon his shoulder. "Thou knowest, lad, there is the little grave out yonder.
It's already clear that I wouldn't prove a meek and interesting patient, and I don't want to lose your good opinion." "Richard Morton, if thee should leave us now I should feel hurt beyond measure. Thee's not thyself or thee wouldn't think of it." "Richard Morton, thee cannot go," said Mr. Yocomb in his hearty way. "If thee knew mother as I do, thee'd give right in.
