I used to look up at the sky and mind me o' them words in the Bible, 'When I conzider the heavens, the work o' Thy vingers and the stars which Thou hast made, what is man that Thou art mindful of him? One do feel oncommon small in them trenches at night." "I suppose you've had a hot time up there?" "Ah that I have. And I zeed some bad things." "Bad?" "Cruel, sir, mortal cruel, I be maning.
That little man who looked in at the door by now, and quivered like a leaf when he zeed ye and heard your song! 'His teeth chattered, and the breath went out of his body, said the dairyman. 'And his heart seemed to sink within him like a stone, said Oliver Giles. 'And he bolted as if he'd been shot at, said the hedge-carpenter.
If I had only kept on my short ones that I use for reading the Collect and Gospel I shouldn't have zeed ye; but thinks I, I be going out o' doors, and I'll put on my long ones, little thinking what they'd show me. Ay, I can tell folk at any distance with these 'tis a beautiful pair for out o' doors; though my short ones be best for close work, such as darning, and catching fleas, that's true.
"Plaise your worship" John called me so, ever since I returned from London, firmly believing that the King had made me a magistrate at least; though I was to keep it secret "us zeed as how your worship were took with thinkin' of King's business, in the middle of the whate-rigg: and so uz zed, 'Latt un coom to his zell, us had better zave taime, by takking our dinner'; and here us be, praise your worship, and hopps no offence with thick iron spoon full of vried taties."
"Not much of a show," he repeated. "The young uns ull crack up most anything as comes along. But that's their stoopidness. Never zeed nothing better. Law bless 'e, this ain't a patch on the shows I've a' zeen in my day. Cock-fightings, and fellows wi' a lot er money laid on 'em by the gentry too a-pounding of each other till there weren't an inch above the belt of 'em as weren't bloody.
I didn't mention it because I've never zeed you lately. And as she didn't get there it was all nought, and nothing to tell." "And I have been wondering why she should have walked in the heath on that hot day! Well, did she say what she was coming for? It is a thing, Christian, I am very anxious to know." "Yes, Mister Clym. She didn't say it to me, though I think she did to one here and there."
"Lucky for thee," said Bill Blacksmith, "as thee bee'st so shart and fat, Jan. Dree on us wor a gooin' to shutt 'ee, till us zeed how fat thee waz, Jan." "Lor now, Bill!" I answered 'un, wi' a girt cold swat upon me: "shutt me, Bill; and my own waife niver drame of it!"
A neighbour passed on her way home from morning service at the nearest church, and seeing Donn engaged at the window with the razor, nodded and came in. She at once spoke playfully to Arabella: "I zeed 'ee running with 'un hee-hee! I hope 'tis coming to something?" Arabella merely threw a look of consciousness into her face without raising her eyes.
"You must have done it a' purpose!" said Farfrae's waggoner. "You can hear my horses' bells half-a-mile such a night as this!" "If ye'd been minding your business instead of zwailing along in such a gawk-hammer way, you would have zeed me!" retorted the wroth representative of Henchard.
"That these little things should carry such luck, and such charm, and such a spell, and such power in 'em, passes all I ever heard or zeed," he went on, with a fascinated gaze at the dice, which, as is frequently the case in country places, were made of wood, the points being burnt upon each face with the end of a wire. "They are a great deal in a small compass, You think?" "Yes.
