Go away! he said:

What is this thing, anyhow? said he, taking up the yoke.
human
Oh, I see,--to carry your pails on.
gpt

human
Are you Mr. March's little girl?
gpt
Yes, said Nelly;
human
He'd better let 'em alone, said the shopkeeper.
gpt
The more notice ye take of 'em, the more they'll pester ye. But I reckon ye can't wear the yokes any more; I wouldn't if I was you. You tell your father that Mr. Martin told ye to leave 'em off. Ye can leave 'em here, if ye're a mind to. Some time when your father's a drivin' in he can stop and get 'em.
human
Yes, said Nelly:

human
Ulrica! Ulrica!
