care of him and his childer. I tell you what, brother, I will
chore, if necessary, and tell dukkerin for Sylvester, if even so
heavy as scarcely to be able to stand. You call him lazy; you
would not think him lazy if you were in a ring with him: he is a
proper man with his hands; Jasper is going to back him for twenty
pounds against Slammocks of the Chong gav, the brother of Roarer
and Bell-metal, he says he has no doubt that he will win."

"Well, if you like him, I, of course, can have no objection. Have
you been long married?"

"About a fortnight, brother; that dinner, the other day, when I
sang the song, was given in celebration of the wedding."

"Were you married in a church, Ursula?"

"We were not, brother; none but gorgios, cripples, and lubbenys are
ever married in a church: we took each other's words. Brother, I
have been with you near three hours beneath this hedge. I will go
to my husband."

"Does he know that you are here?"

"He does, brother."

"And is he satisfied?"

"Satisfied! of course. Lor', you gorgies! Brother, I go to my
husband and my house." And, thereupon, Ursula rose and departed.
