"Yeigh, so it dun, mester," observed old Mitton. "It does not appear to have been disturbed, at all events," said Nicholas, dismounting and examining it. "It would seem not," said Nowell "and yet it certainly is not in its old place." "Yo are mistaen, mester," observed Jem Device; "ey knoa th' lond weel, an this stoan has stood where it does fo' t' last twenty year. Ha'n't it, neeburs?"
Hark'ee, Jem!" he continued, shouting down the hole; "If you don't come forth at once, and bring Mother Demdike with you, we'll close up the mouth of this hole in such a way that you sha'n't require another grave. D'ye hear?" "Yeigh," replied Jem, his voice coming hoarsely and hollowly up like the accents of a ghost. "Am ey to go free if ey comply?" "Certainly not," replied the squire.
"Yeigh," replied the hostess, "some on 'en are i' th' house, some i' th' barn, an some i' th' stables. The place is awtogether owerrun wi' 'em.
Not far from this ancient cross the sexton, a hale old man, with a fresh complexion and silvery hair, was at work, and while the others went on, Master Potts paused to say a word to him. "You have a funeral here to-day, I suppose, Master Sexton?" he said. "Yeigh," replied the man, gruffly. "One of the villagers?" inquired the attorney. "Neaw; hoo were na o' Goldshey," replied the sexton.
"Ey should ha' said 'westerly' i' stead o' 'yeasterly," cried Jem, "boh yo puzzle a mon so wi' your lawyerly questins, that he dusna knoa his reet hond fro' his laft." "Yeigh, yeigh, we aw meant to say 'yeasterly," added the hinds. "You have sworn the contrary," cried Nowell. "Secure him," he added to the grooms and Sparshot, "and do not let him go till we have completed the survey.
How are you, Farmer Tetlow?" he added to a stout, hale-looking man, with a blooming country woman by his side "brought your pretty young wife to the rush-bearing, I see." "Yeigh, squoire," rejoined the farmer, "an mightily pleased hoo be wi' it, too." "Happy to hear if, Master Tetlow," replied Nicholas, "she'll be better pleased before the day's over, I'll warrant her.
"Yo mun go up to th' Abbey directly, mother," said Jem, with a wink, "Mistress Nutter wishes to see ye. Yo'n find her i' t' ruins o' t' owd convent church. Tak kere yo're neaw seen. Yo onderstond." "Yeigh," replied Elizabeth, nodding her head significantly, "ey'n go at wonst, an see efter Alizon ot t' same time. Fo ey'm towd hoo has fainted, an been ta'en to th' Abbey by Lady Assheton."
"Yeigh, that he mun," cried James Device, and the hinds who supported him. The magistrate bit his lips with vexation. "There is witchcraft in it, I repeat," he said. "Yeigh, that there be," responded old Mitton. But the words were scarcely uttered, when he was felled to the ground by the bludgeon of James Device.
"Yeigh yeigh," responded several voices. "Well, let us go on to the next stone," said Potts, looking rather blank. Accordingly they went forward, the hinds exchanging significant looks, and Roger Nowell and Nicholas carefully examining their respective maps. "These landmarks exactly tally with my plan," said the squire, as they arrived at the third stone.
"Much obleeged to ye, sir, boh ey'd leefer be without the luck." "Listen to me," pursued Potts, chuckling, "and I will point out to you a way of escaping the general fate of your family not merely of escaping it but of acquiring a large reward. And that is by giving evidence against them by telling all you know you understand eh!" "Yeigh, ey think ey do onderstond," replied Jennet, sullenly.
