Dennis. To stay out so, the first day of company.
Dan. Come, that be a good un! I ha' waited for the company a week, and I defy you to say I ever left the house till they comed.
Dennis. Well, and that's true. Pacify me with a good reason, and you'll find me a dutiful master. Arrah, Dan, what's that hump grown out at your back, on the road?
Dan. Plenty o' meat and drink. I ha'n't had such a hump o' late, at my stomach.

Dennis. And who harnessed you, Dan, with all that kitchen stuff?
Dan. He as ware rack'd, and took I wi' un to Penzance, for a companion. He order'd I, as I said things were a little famish'd like, here, to buy this for the young woman, and the old man he ha' brought back wi' un.
Dennis. Then you have been gabbling your ill looking stories about my larder, you stone eater!
Dan. Larder! I told un you had three live pigs as ware dying.
