'I shall take the usual licence, Mr Browdie, said Nicholas, as he placed a chair for the bride. 'Tak' whatever thou like'st, said John, 'and when a's gane, ca' for more.

When thee has children that Injuns murder, as thee stands by, a wife that clasps thee legs in the writhing of death, her blood, spouting up to thee bosom, where she has slept, an old mother calling thee to help her in the death-struggle: then, friend, then thee may see then thee may know then thee may feel then thee may call theeself wretched, for thee will be so!
"Thee has ruined all, theeself and the maid! Save thee own life!"
Truly, friend, I design, when thee poor tired women is sleeping, to keep watch round the ruin, with Peter to help me; and if theeself and thee two male persons have strength to do the same, it will be all the better for the same."

Madge went over to her mother. "He bean't come," she said, beginning to cry. "I knowed a wassn't," said the old woman, rocking herself to and fro in her low rush-bottomed chair, with her feet on the hearth, almost among the ashes. "Thee's soon have to look out for theeself." "How, mother?" "Cos I'm going to die." "Mother!" "I be goin' to die," repeated the old woman in the same calm, hard tone.
