You can say to me what you please. And I shall bear it. Think as badly of me as you will. I am a schemer, a swindler, what you will!" "Very much indeed. But her faults are obvious, and I like you too. I have said more to you of her than I have ever yet said to human being; why, I know not, because you are (comparatively speaking) a stranger to me, whilst she is my very good friend. Yet so it rests. You will, I know, keep faith with me." "No," he replied, "my heart was sad; I did not count the days. Since I left, the berries have grown and ripened.".

If ye go in now, ye'll be sorry for it. 'Tis a thing ye'll be thinkin' an' dhramin' of till you'll be wishin' the life out of yer cursed body!".
