He half turned. "Feyther " "Git oot o' ma sight!" M'Adam cried. And the boy turned and went. THENCEFORWARD David buckled down to work at home, and in one point only father and son resembled industry. A drunkard M'Adam was, but a drone, no. The boy worked at the Grange with tireless, indomitable energy; yet he could never satisfy his father.
"Eessir, sometimes; and I drove back the milk-trunk in the cart, and I rode down on a pony to the second pasture to count the sheep and the heifers." "Then you are a farmer's daughter?" "Eessir.

Oi don't think much the worst of him myself if he done it, and most in Varley will be o' my way o' thinking.

You must, you will, I hope, let us prepare our own breakfast. 'Feyther will never 'ear of it, I know, said the girl; and immediately after, the carter, with his brawny arms, pushed Kate and Dick down into two seats at the big table.

Feyther likes pickled walnuts stuck about t' round o' beef, Molly.
Robson was pleased and attracted by the soft yet brilliant hues. 'Thou'lt look so pretty in it, sweetheart, o' Thursday fortnight! 'Thursday fortnight. On the fourth yo're thinking on. But I cannot wear it then, I shall be i' black. 'Not on that day, sure! said Philip. 'Why not? There's nought t' happen on that day for t' make me forget feyther.
And he also found out that the sturdy farmer sedately sucking his pipe in a corner, and now and then throwing in an unexpected and random comment on whatever happened to be the topic of conversation, was known as "Feathery" Joltram, though why "Feathery" did not seem very clear, unless the term was, as it appeared to be, an adaptation of "father" or "feyther" Joltram.
