Monsieur, you tink to be varry conning; mais you not so conning as Kookoo, no;" and the inquisitive little man would shake his head and smile, and shake his head again, as a man has a perfect right to do under the conviction that he has been for twenty years baffled by a riddle and is learning to read it at last; he had guessed what was in 'Sieur George's head, he would by and by guess what was in the trunk.
"Ey ha' heerd say hoo be varry comely an kind-hearted, an ey should be sorry onny harm befell her." "Mary Baldwyn, who will soon lie there, was quite as comely and kind-hearted as Alizon," cried the hag, "and yet Mother Demdike had no pity on her." "An that's true," replied the sexton. "Weel, weel; ey'n do your bidding." "Hold!" exclaimed Richard, stepping forward.
Splendid bracelets were on her arms, and one row of large white pearls encircled her throat. She looked like a queen, and Phyllis wished Richard could have seen her. "She'll be a varry proper mistress o' Hallam-Croft," thought the squire, with a passing sigh. But his eyes dwelt with delight upon Phyllis. "Eh!" he said, "but thou art a bonny lass!
Paper and ink and varry little justice; but God'll sort ivery thing afore long." "The case is to come before the queen." "That's well enough.

Well, I'll tak t' L300 he offers, wi' t' L80 I hev in t' house, I can make shift to reach t' other side o' t' world, and one side is happen as good as t' other side. I'll go and see Swale this varry hour." He was arrested by a peculiar sound in the cellar beneath his feet, a sound that made him turn pale to the very lips. In a few moments the door opened, and Tim Bingley stepped into the room.
"An' I'll take my pay in some uv yer dried apples. Heow much does Fisher give fur socks, Miss Ruggles?" she asked, directly. "Fifty cents and I find, fifteen and he finds." "An' ye take yer pay out uv the store? Varry reasonable. I wuz thinkin' uv tryin' my han' myself; business's ruther dull, folks onkimmon well this fall. Heow many strings yer gwine ter give me fur the yarbs?"

"Was Laycock coming from the moor also?" "Nay, he was coming from t' village, and was going across t' moor to a knur match on Eltham Common." "Did Laycock swear to that?" "Ay, he did. He were varry loth to do it; for Ben and him hed laked together when they were lads, and been thick as thack iver since, till Mary Clough came between 'em.
There's good men and John Wesley among 'em who lived w' one foot i' this world, and one in t' other. I would think man or woman hed varry little o' t' next world about 'em, who hed nivver seen or heard any thing from it.
Sibbald Hallam, my uncle, was a varry thick Churchman when he went to th' Carolinas but he married a foreigner; she had plenty o' brass, and acres o' land, but I never heard tell owt o' her religion. They had four lads and lasses, but only one o' them lived to wed, and that was my cousin, Matilda Hallam t' mother o' these two youngsters that are speaking o' coming here."
