sewer aw've done mi best wi it, but yond warp's rotten."

"Its nowt abaat thi wark, its moor important to me nor all th' wark i'th
shed. O, Susy, awm sewer tha must know what aw want to say. Tha connot
be blind, an tha must know at awm fonder on thi nor o' onnybody i' all
this world. Tha knows ha bonny tha art, an tha knows tha's nobbut to put
up thi finger an tha can have onny single chap i'th shop, but, believe
me, Susy,--ther isn't one at can ivver love thi as aw love thi. Aw'll
work for thi throo morn to neet, an tha shall be th' happiest woman i'th
world if its i' my paar to mak thi soa. What says ta? Aw willn't hurry
thee if tha wants time to think abaat it,--but tell me,--is ther
onnybody at tha likes better?"

"Why, Dick, tha's fairly knockt th' wind aght o' me. Tha sewerly forgets
at awm a widdy. A young chap like thee doesn't owt to be lukkin after
widdys, when ther's soa monny single young lasses abaat waitin for
chaps."

"It'd mak noa difference to me if tha wor a widdy twenty times ovver.
Tha'rt th' grandest woman aw ivver met, an if aw ivver do wed it'll be
thee. Come, nah, tell me,--we havn't mich time befoor th' engine starts.
Is ther onnybody tha likes better nor me. Spaik aght. If ther is aw'll
bide it as weel as aw can, an aw'll nivver trubble thi agean."

"Noa, Dick, ther isn't. That's gospel trewth. Ther's nubdy livin at aw
like better nor thee, an aw dooant know another aw like as weel, but tha
knows when it comes to weddin, it mun be summat moor nor likin th' next
time. It'll have to be lovin. An aw dooant love thee weel enuff, but aw
may leearn to do, but tha mun gie me time."
