a few chaps set raand a fire fit to rooast a bull, an' lukkin varry
jolly. As sooin as they saw me they made raam for me at th' hob end,
an' began talkin to me as friendly as if they'd known me all ther life.
Aw sooin began to feel varry mich at hooam wi' em, an' as th' lonlady
browt in some basins o' hot stew 'at shoo wodn't be paid for, (an old
trick to get fowk to spend twice as mich another rooad) an' as another
chap wod pay for all we had to sup an' smook, aw thowt aw mud ha gone
farther an' fared worse. It worn't long befoor some moor coom droppin
in (ha that happens aw dooant know, but aw darsay you'll ha nooaticed it
monny a time yorsen, 'at if ther's owt stirrin 'at's cheap ther's allus
a certain class o' fowk 'at drop in accidentally).

After a bit, we mustered a varry nice pairty ov abaat a dozen, an' as
iverybody wor tawkin at once we managed to mak a fairish din. But at
last one o'th' chaps proposed 'at we should have a cheerman, an' see if
we couldn't conduct business in a moor sensible manner. Ivery body sed,
"hear, hear!" an' ov cooarse th' chap 'at wor standin sam wor voated in,
which seemed to give him mich satisfaction, an aw couldn't help thinking
'at he worn't th' furst chap 'at had getten put i' sich a position for
his brass an' net his brains.

After "order" had been called two or three times bi every body i'th'
place, th' cheerman stood up an' sed, "Gentlemen, aw feel varry praad to
okkipy this cheer, an' aw'll do mi best to discharge the duties that
disolves upon me at this important crikus, an' aw think if ony body
wants to order owt they'd better do it at once, soas we shalln't have
ony interruptions." We all shaated, "hear, hear!" agean, an' th'
lonlady wor i'th' raam befoor we'd time to ring th' bell. When we'd all
getten supplied th' cheerman stood up agean, an' knockin th' table wi' a
empty ale bottle, sed, "silence!"
