"I'm the sheep-boy 'Lisbeth Lillibun."
"I cannot have a sheep-boy in borrowed trousers," said Mr. Gilham, very decidedly; "it would not do."
"Yes it would! Dickon said I might borrow 'm; yes it would do very much indeed."
Mr. Gilham was so positive that it would not do that 'Lisbeth began to cry.
"Sheep-boys never cry, never," said Mr. Gilham, and 'Lisbeth wiped her eyes as fast as she could.
"Please to go home very fast," said 'Lisbeth, but Mr. Gilham only laughed, which made 'Lisbeth very uncomfortable.
"Please to don't laugh so much," said 'Lisbeth; "more people 'n me tend to business."
"Sheep-boys must keep big dogs away; they would kill the sheep."
