"Howd', folks," greeted Jed Thompson, fairly bursting into the camp. "You-all don't know whether that critter Spurgeon has been heyeh, does ye?"

"Our ponies are gone.
If I open my mouth, I shall give us away." "Howd tha mouth shut, then, 'Minta, lass," he said. Then, lowering his tone, he added in his own language: "I'll account for you.

Another pause and then "Which o' yo' lads 'll tell my missus?" "Ay! poor chap, poor chap!" wailed the women. "Who on 'em will?" "Howd tha noise, wenches," he said hoarsely. "Yo' daze me.

We should be swept no one knows wheer, and do no good to them as wants the help." "But we can't leave them to drown, man!" cried the squire. "No; we can't do that, and we wean't," cried Hickathrift. "They'll get right on the roof if the bed-rooms gets full; and while we're waiting for day we'll have the punt hauled up. Jacob'll howd the light, and I'll see if I can't mend the hole.
