'But why didn't you tell _us_ all this, Sinfi?' asked the landlord.
'My wife would ha' went and seen arter her, and we wouldn't ha'
touched a farthin' for they blankets and things, not we, Sinfi, not
we.'
'Ah, you _would_, though,' said the girl, ''cause I'd ha' _made_ you
take it. Winnie Wynne was the only one on 'em, Gorgio or Gorgie, ever
I liked, and nobody's got no right to see arter her only me, and
that's why I'm about here _now_, if you _must_ know; but nobody's
got no right to see arter her only me, and nobody sha'n't nuther.
They might go and skear her to run up the hills, and she might dash
herself all to flactions in no time.'
'Don't take on so, Sinfi,' said the landlord. 'When they are in that
way they allus turns agin them as they was fond on.'
'Then you noticed as she was fond o' me, Mr. Blyth,' said the girl
with great earnestness.
'Of course she was fond on you, Sinfi; everybody knows that.'
'Yes,' said the girl, now much affected, '_every_ body knowed it,
_every_ body knowed as she was fond o' me.
