cross wi him, but aw tell'd him to
whisht, for tha wornt to a winder or two, soa tha can give him a hawpny
for spice, (tha knows he thinks a deeal moor on it when it comes throo
thee,) an tha can call at glazers shop an tell em to send a chap up to
put another pane in, an here's sixpence for thisen, sithee, for aw know
thi bacca's ommost done."

"That's all reight. Ov cooarse th' child didn't meean to braik th'
winder, nor the teacup nawther,--but he owt to be towt different; an aw
dooant believe awr Hepsabah knows owt abaat trainin childer as they owt
to be trained. But aw'st send noa chap up here to put that winder in.
Aw've getten nowt else to do an aw meean to put that in misen. Aw can
buy a square o' glass that size, for abaat thrippence, an better glass
nor that wor too. But, Mally, nah this is a bargain;--If aw get th'
glass an th' putty, and put it in, tha gies me th' shillin th' same as
tha'd gie it onnybody else."

"Tha can have th' shillin! Aw'm nooan grumblin abaat th' shillin,--but
aw connot see wot tha wants wi soa mich brass day after day. Ther's
hardly ivver a day passes ovver thi heead 'at tha dosen't ax me for
awther sixpince or a shillin, an awm sewer ther's all tha needs to ait
an drink at hooam, an tha's as gooid clooas to don as onny man need
wish,--an nobbut th' last Sundy, tha axt me for sixpince for th'
collection, an tha nobbut put in a hawpny, for aw wor watchin thi.--A'a,
well! but hasumivver, here's another shillin, soa if tha thinks tha can
put it in, goa an get a square a glass an ha dun wi it."

"'Think aw can put it in?' Aw dooant think owt abaat it! Aw know aw can
put it in! What does ta tak me for? Does ta think aw havn't th' strength
an brains enuff to wrastle wi' a bit o' glass like that?"

"Tha's wrastled wi too monny glasses, Sammywell, sin aw knew thi, an
they've getten thi daan moor noa once. It's gettin lat i'th' day, nah,
to expect thi to mend mich, but if tha'd nobbut sign teetotal an join
th' chapel, an buy Jerrymier a new Sundy suit, aw think aw mun see
summat to admire in thi even yet."

"Ther's as mich to admire abaat me as ther is abaat some other fowk aw
could mention, but aw'll bi off just nah, for when aw've a job to do aw
want to get it done, an net stand hummin an haain abaat it like thee."
