Maybe a mile aback on the road
By gough! and him that navar knowed—
Tuk her opportunity,
Slipt out, and away, of coorse to see
Could she find these chaps, aw, I'll be bail—

Mr. Gellin,” he says, “and you'd hardly expeck,
But tuk like that, and the way she'd fled,
I called her a little monkey!” he said.
