I remember speaking to an aged peasant down in Somerset. "Have you ever seen any Americans?" "Nah," he said, "uz eeard a mowt o' 'em, zir, but uz zeen nowt o' 'em." It was clear that the noble fellow was quite undamaged by American contact. Now the odd thing about this corruption is that exactly the same idea is held on the other side of the water.

That cunning fox Demdike has set a trap fo' himsel an aw his followers, and it's fo' me to ketch 'em. Wait fo' me about a hundert yorts fro' th' tower. Nah nearer yo onderstand?" Nicholas did not very clearly understand, but concluding Nance had some hidden meaning in what she said, he resolved unhesitatingly to obey her.

Out in the road in front of the hospital I couldn't get the motor-bicycle to work, and sat crouched in the dark fiddling with spanners. The charwomen came out of the big gate in the dark talking and laughing, all in a bunch. One of them stepped off the pavement near me and stopped to put her toe through the ice in the gutter. "Nah, come on, Mrs. Toms!"

"Nah nah squoire," replied the sufferer, speaking with difficulty, "it's neaw nat'ral ailment it's witchcraft." "Witchcraft!" exclaimed Potts, who had come up, and producing his memorandum book. "Another case. Your name and description, friend?" "John Law o' Cown, pedlar," replied the man. "John Law of Colne, I suppose, petty chapman," said Potts, making an entry.

No interruption was offered to Hal's egress, but he stopped within the court-yard, where Demdike awaited him, and unfastened the leathern thong that bound together his hands. "Now go and bring the child to me," said the wizard. "Nah, ey'st neaw bring it ye myself," rejoined Hal. "Ey knoas better nor that. Be at t' church porch i' half an hour, an t' bantlin shan be delivered to ye safe an sound."

"May be ye would, Sukey," replied the little girl, "boh eym nah so likely to be tried that way as yourself, lass; an if ey war swum ey should sink, while yo, wi' your broad back and shouthers, would be sure to float, an then yo'd be counted a witch."

"I'll cause them to be arrested at once." "Nah, nah that canna be," rejoined Nance "Yo mun bide your time." "What! and allow such miscreants to go at large, and work any malice they please against me and my friends!" replied Nicholas. "Show me where they are, Nance, or I must make you a prisoner." "Nah! yo winna do that, squire," she replied in a tone of good-humoured defiance.

"Ho! ho! ho!" laughed the voice from below. "Nah, nah ey forbid it," shrieked Elizabeth, "ye shanna be bapteesed. Whoy ha ye brought her here, madam?" she added to Mistress Nutter. "Yo ha' stolen her fro' me. Boh ey protest agen it." "Your consent is not required," replied Mistress Nutter, waving her off. "Your daughter is anxious to become a witch. That is enough."

There also left the press this year a work in two volumes entitled Unexplored Syria, by Burton and Tyrwhitt Drake. Some of the sayings have English analogues, thus: "He who wants nah Mustn't say ah;" "nah" being wealth or honour; "ah," the expression of fear or doubt.

With an expression of great relief on his face he gazed over the top of the trench. "Thank 'Eavens! you can't make a sixteenth, mate. The whole plurry tree's nah poo." "Nah poo," murmured Bendigo Jones. "Nah poo. What is nah poo?" He stood up and peered over the top also. "I see no change. To some eyes it might seem that the tree had fallen; to mine it lives for ever fragrant and cool."
