The girl shook her head.
"Look you, Jennifer, I want to see your sister to-night."
"Doan't 'ee try to, sur. They be purtly maazed weth 'ee up at the 'ouse. They 'll kill 'ee, sur. Doan't 'ee go nist (near) 'em, sur."
I saw she was in earnest, and that she was anxious for my welfare.
"Jennifer," I said, "your sister loves her young mistress, doesn't she?"
"Oa iss, sur, that she doth."
"And she wants a friend right badly?"
"Oa iss, sur, I musn't say nothin', but she do, sur."
"Then look here, Jennifer, you must go to Endellion this day and see your sister. You must tell her to come here this night."
