"Ger aght o' mi gate, an lets do summat. Bring me a cheer to stand on an
a knife an a hammer an a chissel an aw'll show thi ha to put a winder
in, in abaat two or three ticktacks. This is what aw call a soft snap.
Ninepence,--that's threepenoths for abaat three minnits wark. Nah, thee

be to tak th' sash aght an put it on th' table, an then it'll be easier
