I promised last night to go see him ; besides , I like the old man . ' ` Well ! when shall we tell mother yo 're comin ' whoam ? ' ` Toward eight o'clock -- may-be sooner . ' ` Why it 's bare five now ! bless t ' lad , does he think o ' staying theere a ' neet , and they up so late last night , and Mrs. Robson ailing beside ? Mother 'll not think it kind on yo ' either , will she , Bess ? '
