_ Three, Tummas--and sell them all--and I'll go to church in a
stuff one--and let Mrs. Grundy turn up her nose as much as she pleases.
_Henry._ Oh, my friends, my heart is full. Yet a day will come, when
this heart will prove its gratitude.
_Dame._ That day, Henry, is every day.
_Ash._ Dang it! never be down hearted. I do know as well as can be, zome
good luck will turn up. All the way I comed whoam I looked to vind a
purse in the path. But I didn't though. [_A knocking at the door._]
_Dame._ Ah! here they are, coming to sell I suppose--
_Ash._ Lettun--lettun zeize and zell; we ha gotten here [_Striking his
breast._] what we won't zell, and they can't zell. [_Knocking again._]
Come in--dang it, don't ye be shy.
_Enter_ MORRINGTON _and_ GERALD.
_Henry._ Ah! the strangers I saw this morning. These are not officers of
law.
_Ash._ Noa!--Walk in, gemmen. Glad to zee ye wi' all my heart and zoul.
Come, dame, spread a cloth, bring out cold meat, and a mug of beer.
_Gerald._ [_To_ MORRINGTON.] That is the boy. [MORRINGTON _nods._]
_Ash._ Take a chair, zur.
