'I see, said Philip: "Robinson, Side, Newcastle, can give all requisite information." 'Ay, ay, said Robson; 'thou's hit t' marrow on t' matter.

'There thou're out; he's in for letting yon men out; thou may call it rioting if thou's a mind to set folks again' him, but it's too bad to cast such hard words at him as yon felony, she repeated, in a half-offended tone. 'It's what the lawyers call it, said Philip, sadly; 'it's no word o' mine.

Thou'll mind yon specksioneer lad, him as was cousin to t' Corneys Charley Kinraid? Mind him! As if he could forget him. 'Well! he's dead and gone. 'Dead! Who told you? I don't understand, said Philip, in strange bewilderment.
