'' `` He came from t ' mill at six o'clock , and hed a cup o ' tea wi ' me . He said he 'd go to t ' chapel wi ' me at eight o'clock ; and after I hed washed up t ' dishes , I went to sit wi ' Sarah Fisher , who 's bad off wi ' t ' fever ; and when I came back Ben was standing at t ' door , and folks wer ' running here , and running there , and all t ' village was fair beside itseln . We wer ' just reading a bit in t ' Bible , when constables knocked at t ' door and said they wanted Ben . My heart sank into my shoes , Miss Hallam , and I said , ` That 's a varry unlikely thing , lads ; you 're just talking for talking 's sake . '
