CHAPTER XI: THE NEW MACHINERY
11/27

Oi tell ye, Maister Ned, that the sooner as you goes as an officer the better, vor oi caan't bide here now and hold off from the others, Oi have had a dog's loife for some time, and it ull be worse now.

It would look as if oi hadn't no spirit in the world, to stand being put upon and not join the others.

T' other chaps scarce speak to me, and the gals turn their backs as oi pass them.

Oi be willing vor to be guided by you as far as oi can; but it bain't in nature to stand this.
