"If the Lord has a grievance agen me for settin' too much o' my heart on the old Pass By, He've a-took out o' me all the satisfaction He's likely to get. 'Tisn' like the man that built a new Jericho an' set up the foundations thereof 'pon his first-born an' the gates 'pon his youngest. The cases don't tally; for my son an' gran'son went down together in th' old boat, an' I got nobody left."
"Get along with your 'females'!" fired up 'Beida, springing to arms for her sex. "I'd like to know where the world'd be without us. But don't you see that 'tisn' like Mother to be so daggin' to quit the old house?" "She wants to get the grievin' over, I tell you," 'Bert maintained.

"Well I think I'm a little bit afraid of this house.
"I doan' keer. I doan' keer what 'appens to mae. What wae did what wae did lies between him and mae." "Did he tell you he'd marry you, Essy?" Essy sobbed for answer. "He didn't? Is he going to marry you?" "'Tisn' likely 'e'll marry mae. An' I'll not force him." "You think, perhaps, it doesn't matter?" She shook her head in utter helplessness. "Come, make a clean breast of it."
