It's a poor take to-day, mother,

Yes, and I wanted a bit extra, to get some milk for the child, said Mrs. Coomber;

What are yer goin' to do wi' it?
gpt
I want to send Dick up to the farm; Mrs. Hayes will give me some milk for it, I know,
human
And you'd send Dick to that place when I said they shouldn't go near the house, said her husband, angrily.

Take the fish and cook it for supper. Not a bit o' my fish shall they have.

But the milk. What am I to do for the milk for the child now she's ill?
gpt
What have yer done afore? demanded her husband; and the poor woman was obliged to confess that she had taken milk from the man as he went past in his cart to the village each day since the child had been there.
human
She couldn't do wi'out milk,
gpt
How do you know she couldn't? said her husband.

What business have you to spend money for milk--what business have you wi' money at all?
