'We'n done a deal in bringing him here thou take thy share. 'I canna do it, said Higgins. 'I'm welly felled wi' seeing him. We wasn't friends; and now he's dead. 'Well, if thou wunnot thou wunnot.

Anyhow, a'm master, and that she knows. But may-be, for t' sake o' peace an' quietness tho' she's niver a scolding tongue, that a will say for her we'n best keep this matter to ourselves till thou comes int' port again. T' lass upstairs 'll like nought better than t' curl hersel' round a secret, and purr o'er it, just as t' oud cat does o'er her blind kitten.
We'n some singers comin' to neet." "Nay," said I, "I think I'll tak up through Horncliffe, an' by th' moor-gate, to't 'Top o'th Hoof." "Well, then," replied he, "yo mun strike off at th' lift hond, about a mile fur on; an' then up th' hill side, an' through th' delph.

I should think a broker would not give half-a-crown for all the furniture we saw. The woman seemed simple-minded and very illiterate; and as she stood in the middle of the floor, looking vaguely round she said, "Aw can hardly ax yo to sit deawn, for we'n sowd o' th' things eawt o'th heawse for a bit o' meight; but there is a cheer theer, sich as it is; see yo; tak' that."
But dunnot mak' an ado about it, let 'em think it's just our common way. If any one says aught about how good t' vittle is, tak' it calm, and say we'n better i' t' house, it'll mak' 'em eat wi' a better appetite, and think the more on us.
