CHAPTER VIII
20/35

"I dessay they do--I don't say nothink agen it--though theer's none of it cooms my way.

But that isn't all the rights on it nayther--no, that it ain't.

The labourin' man ee's glad enough to get a hare or a rabbit for 'is eatin'-- but there's more in it nor that, miss.
Ee's allus in the fields, that's where it is--ee can't help seein' the hares and the rabbits a-comin' in and out o' the woods, if it were iver so.

Ee knows ivery run ov ivery one on 'em; if a hare's started furthest corner o' t' field, he can tell yer whar she'll git in by, because he's allus there, you see, miss, an' it's the only thing he's got to take his mind off like.

And then he sets a snare or two--an' ee gits very sharp at settin' on 'em--an' ee'll go out nights for the sport of it.
