And what's more, I tell you this: that if I cotch you two great chaps worriting the boy again, I'll take and leather you, both of you, and that's flat." "Try it, bandy-legs," said Vetch with a sneer. "We'll do as we please, and if you dare to lay a hand on either of us, I'll I'll " "What'll you do, then?" says Joe, who all this while had been spreading himself in front of me. "What'll you do then?
I felt as if she'd got a spite against me; but it come to me as she'd got no spite against ME, and then all my worriting went away. I don't say as I slept much till she was better, but I didn't WORRIT. Now Bellamy's sister don't mean nothing against you.
‘Pooh, pooh! she’s not the susceptible, anxious, worriting creature you imagine: she’s a little meek, peaceable, affectionate body; apt to be rather sulky at times, but quiet and cool in the main, and ready to take things as they come.’ ‘Think of what she was five years ago, when you married her, and what she is now.’
Mean to have a lark with your pretty Miss Kathleen; mean to get a sov. or two out of that charming Miss O'Flynn; mean to coax Aunty Church to give me that microscope when she moves across the sea to Ireland.

When we could see our neighbours again, the tinker-mother was standing up, and speaking hurriedly, with a wild look in her eyes. "Let me be, Sybil Stanley, and let me speak.

Aye my delicate gentlewoman, you may look at me, but I did!

I'd ask you about the home troubles, but my nerves won't stand no worriting. Get on with the gossip, dear, and make your voice chirrupy and perky, as though you saw the spice of it all, and enjoyed it do."
When she entered her mother's room she had not locked the door, and now a voice sounded at her elbow: "Eh! my word dear, dear, deary me! Now, Miss Primrose, to think of you creeping up like this, and 'worriting' yourself over the secrets in the little bit of a cabinet.
"Not she Marty ain't one to forget." "And you been four times, mother," put in the girl. "Have I now! Well, 'tis too late now half-past two, and we must be't' Goat' at four."
