"Hullo!" hailed a voice alongside, at the foot of the accommodation table; and Mr Philp's top hat, Mr Philp's deceptively jovial face, Mr Philp's body clad in mourning weeds, climbed successively into view. "There, naybours!" he announced. "I'm in the nick of time, after all, it seems, though when I heard the church clock strike twelve it sent my heart into my mouth." He stood and panted.
The Squire's voice had risen to a sudden scream he sputtered as he pointed at Mr. Raymond. "There he is, naybours! Get behind the varmint, somebody, and stop his earth! Calls hisself a minister of God! Calls it his church!" Mr. Raymond took his hands off the men's shoulders, and walked straight up to him. "Not my church," he said, aloud and distinctly. "God's church!" He stretched out an arm.
The crowd fell back for a second, but the old woman leant forward and touched her son softly on the leg. He stopped short: the anger died out of his face, and he shivered. "No," he said, "I was wrong, naybours. The boy is mad, I think; an' 'tis a terrible lot, to be mad. This is the Devil's doing, out o' doubt. Beat the Devil."
"Oh, yes you will, my little man," says she in a queer voice, which made him look up and sink his eyes again. "Well," says he, making the best of it, "to please the missus, naybours, we'll sing the whole randigal through. And after that, Sarah" here he pretended to look at her like one in command "you'll walk home with me straight."
Do I step into your dam Bank an' ask where you picked up the coin? No? Well then, get out o' this an' take your Policeman with 'ee. Fend off, I say!" he snapped, as Rat-it-all touched him by the arm. "No offence, Mr Nanjivell," said the Policeman coaxingly. "But merely as between naybours, if I might advise.
He picked his way carefully to shore and up the bank and reined up his dripping horse in the midst of us with a laugh. "Hats full, pockets full, eh? Good-evenin', naybours, and a merry Christmas, and I'm sure I wish you may get it. Which of 'ee may happen to be Master Ephr'm Lantine?" My father announced himself, and the trooper drew out a parchment and handed it.
"At him, good dog!" says Jack, and the word wasn't out of his mouth when Coley was in full sweep after the Red Dog. Reynard dropped his prize like a hot potato, and was off like shot, and the poor cock came back fluttering and trembling to Jack and his comrades. "O musha, naybours!" says he, "wasn't it the height o' luck that threw you in my way!
"Very like 'tis my dulness, ma'am," said Nicky-Nan, still delicately scraping his jaw-bristles with the trowel; "but I don't catch your drift, even now." "Then I'll speak plainer. Where was the sense to blurt out afore a lot o' naybours as you'd see I didn' come to want? Be I the kind o' woman to take any help but my own man's? even if you had it to give, which 'tis well be-known as you haven't."
"Here, hold this," said he, catching sight of Palmerston, and cleared his throat again. "Friends and naybours," said he, and this opening evoked loud applause. As it died down, he continued, "Friends and naybours, this here has been a most successful regatta. Of which, as a fitting conclusion, the Brave has received his reward at the hands of the Fair."
If These-an'-That, there, wasn' but a poor, ha'f-baked shammick, he'd ha' killed that wife o' his afore this." "Naybours, I'd as lief you didn't mention it," appealed These-an'-That, huskily. "I'm afeard you'm o' no account, These-an'-That: but sam-sodden, if I may say so," the drover observed. "Put in wi' the bread, an' took out wi' the cakes," suggested Eli.
