Robson was fumbling among some dirty papers he had in an old leather case, which he had produced out of his pocket. 'Fact is, Philip, t' pleugh's in a bad way, gearin' and a', an' folk is talkin' on a new kind o' mak'; and if thou's bound for York 'I'm not going by York; I'm going by a Newcastle smack.

"There'll be nea Chrissamas dinner for us to-morn i' Jerusalem, I reckon." "Thou's reight," replied Sam; "we sall hae to bide here while t' mist lifts, an' do t' best we can for wersels. Bully-beef an' biscuit is what we'll git for wer dinners, an' there'll be nea sittin' ower t' fire at efter, watchin' t' Yule-clog burn, an' eytin' spice-loaf an' cheese."

'Thou may glower an' thou may look, lass, said he, 'but a'd thought better on thee. It's like last week thy last sweetheart were drowned; but thou's not one to waste time i' rememberin' them as is gone if, indeed, thou iver cared a button for yon Kinraid if it wasn't a make-believe.
'It's a' t' same I care not. But thou might as well tell truth. I'll be bound thou's been at Haytersbank Farm some day this week?
