Jane, my sister, will give you lodgings; she is keeping a shop there." "No, no, Shoni," said the girl, "you are kind, indeed, and I will never forget your kindness; but I will go to Nance, on the island; she will take me in, I know." "Will she ?" said Shoni.

"Then you could not go to a better place.
'Tis such lonesome place, the pipple will forget you there." "Oh, I hope so," said Valmai; "that is all I desire." "The tide will be down.

We can get there easy, only 'tis very cold for you." "No, I like the fresh night-wind." "Well, my dear," said Shoni, "I daresay your uncle will be shamed of himself to-morrow, and will be wanting you to kom back.

I will bring the gig for you; 'tis a long walk." "No, never, Shoni; I will never go back there again, so don't bring the gig for me; but if you will kindly send my big box to the Rock Bridge, I will send somebody across for it." "'S' no need for you to do that.

I will take it down to the shore on the whilbare and row it over in Simon Lewis's boat.
