The day she came to me her father had turned her oot to think o' treatin' one's ain flesh and blood so! There was little enow that I could do.

Ay! yo' may stare, master, but theere a were, an' main an' slippery it were, only a sticks my harpoon intil her an' steadies mysel', an' looks abroad o'er t' vast o' waves, and gets sea-sick in a manner, an' puts up a prayer as she mayn't dive, and it were as good a prayer for wishin' it might come true as iver t' clargyman an' t' clerk too puts up i' Monkshaven church.
An' it's as well to do't while I'm alive to see to't mysel' for I've often observed that if ye leave your warld's gear to the poor when ye're deed, just for the gude reason that ye canna tak it to the grave wi' ye, it'll melt in a wonderfu' way through the hands o' the 'secretaries' an' 'distributors' o' the fund, till there's naething left for those ye meant to benefit.

"I hold it," he said with an eye on Miss Fountain "to be clearly demonstrable that the Invocation of Saints is, of all things, most lamentably injurious to the Saints themselves!" "Hoo can he knaw?" said Polly to Laura, open-mouthed. But Mrs. Mason frowned. "A doan't hod wi Saints whativer," she said violently. "So A doan't fash mysel aboot em!"
Morrison Mr. Walter's father sent the coffins round an how the men went on because they warn't good ones.
