I hev been raised on the land.

I hev lived on the land and eaten and drunk what the land gave me.

All my forefathers did the same, and the noise and smell of these new-fangled factories takes the heart out of me.

I hev a bit of brass left, and while I hev it I am going to buy me a farm where good land is sold by the acre and not by feet and inches.

Now, then, I'll sell thee my mill, and its fifty looms, and heppen it may do cheerfully for thee what it will not do anyway for me.
