noon
Taller than her mother by head and shoulders , and within a full inch o ' my forelock . By ' r lay ` kin ! how she could sing too ! She would troll thee a ditty i ' th ' voice o ' a six-foot stripling , but for a ' that , as sweet as bells far away on a still noon in summer-tide . And she was always getting hold o ' saucy songs , and putting them to tunes o ' her own invention . A could ` a ' had aye the lads i ' th ' village , had a wanted 'em ; but , Lord ! a had one sweetheart one day , and another the next , till they were one and all for murdering or marrying her .
