. Well, nivverheed,--aw guess aw can just squ-e-e-e-e-ze it in--.
Dang it! it's allus alike! If awd ha cut that glass misen it ud ha just
been reight. Nah it's crackt reight across! But it'll ha to do,--crackt
or net crackt! Consarn it! aw dooant see what fowk want wi winders in a
wesh haase! awm i' two minds to board th' hoil up an let em wesh i'th
dark. Hasumivver, that's nooan sich a bad job if it'll nobbut stick. If
aw hadn't brokken this tother pane aw'st had done nah. Nah, Mally, lass,
aw'st want another shillin for this tother winder."

"Tha'll get noa moor aght o' me. Tha mun buy another square aght o' thi
ninepence tha's saved."

"What ninepence?--Does ta expect a chap to goa trailin abaat th' taan
for a hawf a day buyin glass an stuff, an nivver spendin nowt. These
winders ud cost thi a shillin a piece if onny body else put em in, but
aw willn't be hard on thi,--gie me another sixpence an aw'll finish th'
job."

"Aw wish tha'd nivver started it. But this is th' last penny tha'll get

Why, if awd gien awr Hepsabah's Jerrymier th' job he'd ha done it better

"Wod he?--Well, suppooas tha does give him th' job! Aw'll tell thi what

aw tell thi this, once for all,--'at as long as ivver thy name's Mally,
tha'll nivver catch me slavin an plannin as aw have done for thee an
thine. If tha'd nivver ha interfered, them winders ud ha been in, but
tha'll nawther put em in thisen nor let me do it--soa awm gooin aght."

"Gooid shutness! Th' longer he lives an th' war he gets."

A Bashful Bradfordian.

One wod hardly expect to find a bashful young chap in a Bradforth
printin office. But ther is one; but aght o' consideration for his
tender feelins aw willn't tell his real name, but call him James
Fearnly. If yo're varry anxious to find aght who it really is, this is
th' way to do it. When yo've a bit o' spare time, if yo connot manage to
get 'em all together at once, tak 'em one bi one, as yo can catch 'em,
an read this stooary to em. Th' furst one 'at blushes, yo may safely tak
to be him.
