"Onny to tell him what brother Jem is gone to Pendle fo to-neet," replied the little girl, with a significant and malicious look at Mistress Nutter. "Ha!" muttered the lady.

"She meant no harm, Matthew." "But why duddent she mean some good and run bull-neck to-neet to bring ye the bettermer news?" "Better news, Matthew? What is it?" asked Rotha eagerly, but with more apprehension than pleasure in her tone. "Why, that the constables hev gone," said Matthew. "Gone!" "Gone! Another of the same sort came to-day to leet them, and away they've gone together."

"Never heed Alizon," replied Jem, gruffly. "Hoo's i' good hands. Ye munna be seen, ey tell ye. Ey'm going to Malkin Tower to-neet, if yo'n owt to send." "To-neet, Jem," echoed little Jennet. "Eigh," rejoined Jem, sharply. "Howd te tongue, wench. Dunna lose time, mother."
'Now a'm willing to tell yo' a' about it to-morrow, for it's not ivery day a man can do such great things; but to-neet a mun go to bed, even if King George were wantin' for to know how a managed it a'.
