If thou don't mind thou canst have moi bed and oi can sleep on t' floor." "No, I couldn't do that," Ned said, "though I do feel awfully tired and done up; but your brothers would be asking me questions and wondering why I didn't go home.

I could not stand that." "No, Maister Ned, oi can see that wouldn't do; but if we walk about for an hour or two, or--no, I know of a better plan.

We can get in at t' window of the school; it bain't never fastened, and bain't been for years, seeing as thar bain't been neither school nor schoolers since auld Mother Brown died.

Oi will make a shift to light a fire there.
There be shutters, so no one will see the light.

Then oi will bring ee up some blankets from our house, and if there bain't enough Polly will lend me some when oi tell her who they are for.
