`` Leave that to me , '' sed Jim , `` awl bet tha 'll come daan afoor aw stur ; if ther 's ony whisky inside awl find mi way to it . '' `` That 's all right , '' sed Broddington , `` nah awl goa hooam an ' get to bed an ' have a few haars sleep afoor tha comes . '' Soa off he went hooam , but unfortunately he 'd forgetten to tell th ' policeman ` at he 'd flitted . Well , old Clarkson stuck to his puttaty shop wol abaat ten o'clock an then when he 'd getten shut up , he thowt he 'd just goa an ' spend an ' haar or two wi a friend , so a as th ' wife wor aght oth seet he snig 'd off , an ' it seems he faand ther company soa varry agreeable wol it wor ommost three o'clock when he landed hooam . He knew what a blowin up he 'd be sure to get , but as his wife liked a drop o ' whisky to goa to bed on , he bowt a bottle to tak hooam as a bit ov a sweetner . He crept in as quiet as he could , for he thowt if th ' wife wor asleep it wad be a shame to wakken her . He tuk his booits off an ' went ov his tiptooas into th ' bedroom .
