" "Gooid lad, Billy,") etsetra,
etsetra. etsetra.
Just then th' lanlord coom in an' turn'd off th' gas, for he said
"they hadn't spent aboon eighteen pence all th' neet."
Th' chearman said he thowt they couldn't do better nor all have a
pinch o' snuff wi' him, an' have a pint i'th' kitchen woll they talked
things ovver; soa they went daan th' stairs, an' somha they managed to
re-elect th' owd en afoor they went hooam, an' six on em hugged him o'
ther heeads to th' top o' Ringby, an' niver heed if ther heeads didn't
wark th' next mornin'.
Election.
Candidates at an election allus reminds me ov a lot o' bees turned
aat, for they fly abaat th' country buzzin' an' hummin', wol yor fair
capt what a din they con mak; but as sooin as they pop into th' hive
o' St. Stephen's yo niver hear a muff--they're as quite as waxwark.
Aw varrily believe 'at one hauf on 'em niver oppen the maath throo th'
yaar end to year end, nobbut when they're sleepy, then they may gape a
bit, but they do it as quiet as they can. As for them chaps 'at tawk
soa mich befoor they goa, abaat passin' laws to give iverybody a paand
a wick whether they work or laik, an' reducin' th' workin haars to
three haars a day an' three days a wick: Why, its just gammon!
None think Alike.
