It was not, however, respect for the money which had been earned, but for the store of things "doin'" which must have been required. It was impossible that this chap knew things undreamed of. "Has tha ever been to th' Klondike ? " he asked after a long pause. "No. I've never been out of New York." Tummas seemed fretted and depressed. "Eh, I'm sorry for that. I wished tha'd been to th' Klondike.
"I never seed no sense in th' Doxology afore," he said hoarsely, "but I may change my mind i' time. I should say tha'd gone up five pound this week, Mester Colin five on 'em!"

Hutchinson rubbed the back of his head, reddening and rather bristling.
Medlock stops in our cottage whenever she goes to Thwaite an' she doesn't mind talkin' to mother before us children, because she knows us has been brought up to be trusty.
