"Aw've getten a place to keep it, an if awther Jerrymier or his mother
dar to mell on it, they'll know abaat it."

"Tha need'nt freeat,--ther'll nubdy be ovver anxious to mell ov a thing
like that. If tha'd bowt a donkey an cart an started hawkin cockles and
muscles or else leadin coils ther mud ha been some sense in it. But tak
it away an come in an get thi drinkin an dooant stand thear lukkin as
gawmless as that article. Off tha gooas an tak it wi thi, an if it lives
wol mornin tha can show it to Jerrymier an ax him whether it is a
galloway or net. It luks as if it had coom aght o' Noah's Ark, tho if
awed been Noah aw should ha let that thing have a swim for it."

"Tha'rt th' mooast provokin, dissatisfied, ungrateful woman aw ivver
met! Awm in a gooid mind to drive away an nivver coom back!"

"If tha depends on that whiteweshed umberella-stand tha wodn't be far to
seek. But tha'd better hand me that bankbook, for fear tha should leet
o' onny moor curosities, an we're nooan gooin to goa into th' show
trade. Nah away wi thi."

Grimes drove off an Mally went into th' haase.

"What a silly owd maddlin he is. Just to think at he should goa an wear
all that brass o' me. Awr Hepsabah 'll be fair ranty. But then it's his

cup o' this teah, an had theas muffins (aw bowt em a purpose for him)
he'll leet his pipe an sattle daan, an aw can sooin bring him raand if
he's as mad as a wasp. Aw'st nivver be able to sleep to-neet for thinkin
abaat yon'd pony an th' drive aght ith' mornin."

When Grimes coom in he wor lukkin varry glumpy.

"Come thi ways, an get theas muffins wol they're hot,--they're fresh off
th' beckstun an that butter's come reight off th' farm an its as sweet
as a nut."

Sammywell sed nowt, but as th' teah began to warm him an th' muffins wor

him his second cup, he wink'd at her, (he couldn't help it.) "This is a
drop o' gooid teah, lass, an aw think aw nivver had grander muffins."
