look'd, but as shoo knew ther were nowt i'th little tin box but Clock
Almanacks, shoo didn't oppen it.

As sooin as th' banks oppen'd Louisa went an gate th' nooat chang'd soa
as to be ready for th' lanlord when he coom, an when shoo gate back Rosa
met her at th' door wi a smillin face, and sed, at Missis Rhodes had
browt th' three paand shoo owed em, an ordered a new black silk dress
beside; soa they gate daan th' mouldy piece at they'd look'd at th' neet
befooar, an to ther joy they faand aght at th' stains wor only on th'
two aghtside folds, an inside it wor all reight an wod mak th' dress
weel enuff.

They'd a happy day as yo can guess, an at dinner time they sent a bit o'
beef an Yorksher puddin to a poorly woman at liv'd daan th' yard, an
like all fowk at does a gooid turn to them at's war off nor thersens,
they felt better for it. That neet when th' shop wor shut, they sat daan
beside th' assnook an began o' tawkin ha different things seemed thro'
what they had done th' neet befooar.

"Just to think," sed Rosa, "last neet we'd nobbut ten shillin an th'
rent to pay; an naah we've th' rent paid, an nearly five paand beside,
an a dress to mak into th' bargain."

"Eah!" Louisa went on, "an just fancy sellin yond owd bonnet at we've
had soa long, to that owd woman at sed shoo couldn't bide new fashioned
things."

"Well we've had bad luck long enuff, aw hope it'll turn nah--if we could
nobbut get a bit o' brass, we'd buy Miss Simpson's shop i' front
street." An soa they tawked on poor lasses i'th gladness o' ther hearts,
