Sure 'nuff, an' he simmed to understand When I gived him a hearty shake o' the hand.
I started abendin' the hook agen, An' I sez "There's different looks to men,
Braave hearts in whisht poor bodies bide, An' looks don't count to what's inside."

RICHES
Miss Tregear be a whisht poor woman, With her big fine house an' her carriage an' pair; Her keeps four maids, not countin' the tweeny, An' another especial to do her hair.
Ruth Penwarne be a braave rich woman; Her lives in a cottage with a warpley door; Her've got four childer, not countin' the baby, An' there baint no tellin' but her might have more.
Miss Tregear have a room for dinin', An' a room for drawin', where her doesn' draw, An' a room where books be shut in cupboards, An' others us don't knaw what they'm for.
