She felt sure he would like to hear. So it was not very pleasant when she opened the door of her room, to see Martha standing waiting for her with a doleful face. "What is the matter?" she asked. "What did Colin say when you told him I couldn't come?" "Eh!" said Martha, "I wish tha'd gone. He was nigh goin' into one o' his tantrums. There's been a nice to do all afternoon to keep him quiet.
She went upstairs, Meynell following, anxious about the physical result of the meeting, and ready to go for the doctor at a moment's notice. The door at the top of the stairs was open. The dying man lay on his side, gazing toward it, and gauntly illumined by the rising light. The woman went slowly forward, drawn by the eyes directed upon her. "I thowt tha'd come!" said Bateson, with a smile.
He's found out for himself, and so have I. He can have me the minute he wants me the very minute." "He can?" said Hutchinson. "That settles it. I believe tha'd rather take him when he was i' trouble than when he was out of it. Same as tha'd rather take him i' a flat in Harlem on fifteen dollar a week than on fifteen hundred."

"Eh!" he said, "that sounds as if tha'd got wits enow. Tha'rt a Yorkshire lad for sure. An' tha'rt diggin', too. How'd tha' like to plant a bit o' somethin'? I can get thee a rose in a pot." "Go and get it!" said Colin, digging excitedly. "Quick! Quick!" It was done quickly enough indeed. Ben Weatherstaff went his way forgetting rheumatics.
"Thee strip thysen stark nak'd to wesh thy flesh i' that scullery," said the miner, as he rubbed his hair; "nowt b'r a ice-'ouse!" "And I shouldn't make that fuss," replied his wife. "No, tha'd drop down stiff, as dead as a door-knob, wi' thy nesh sides." "Why is a door-knob deader than anything else?" asked Paul, curious. "Eh, I dunno; that's what they say," replied his father.

Her eyes flew wide open aw at onct, an' she seed me an' smiled, aw her dear face quiverin' i' death. "'Dear lad, she whispered, 'th' path was na so long after aw. Th' Lord knew He trod it hissen' onct, yo' know. I knowed tha'd come I prayed so. I've reached th' very eend now, Tim, an' I shall see th' little lad first. But I wunnot forget my promise no.
