Theer's more o' God in that gert shine o' buttercups 'pon the grass than in all them whey-faced chapel folks put together." "My stars, Joan!" "'Tis truth, an' you'll find 'tis some day, same as what I have." "I doan't see how any lad be gwaine to make heaven myself," said Tom gloomily. "Us had a mining cap'n from Camborne preach this marnin', an', by Gollies!
'Only I don't understand them except about larks, and buttercups, and hayfields, and that's no comfort to a woman burning, was the answer. 'Are you feverish, madam? said Chloe. And the duchess was sharp on her: 'Yes, madam, I am.
