Ralph: It being certain it will be brought away from him, it is best it to be kept in the family, and not to go nourishing lawyers or thieves.
Simon: Is it to steal it I should?
Staffy: What way will it be stealing, and the whole of us to be looking on at your deed?
Simon: Ah, what call have I to do that much and maybe put myself in danger of the judge, for the sake of a man is without sense.
Delia: Let you do it for my own sake so. You heard me giving out news on yesterday of the white goats are on the bounds of being sold. The neighbours will give me no more credit, where they loaned me the price of a crested side car was auctioned out at a quality sale.
Ralph: Picking the eyes out of my own head they are, to pay the little bills they have against her.
Delia: I am no way greedy, I would ask neither food or bite, I would not begrudge turning Sunday into Friday if I could but get my heart's desire. Such a thing now as a guinea-hen would be bringing fashion to the door, throwing it a handful of yellow meal, and it in its speckled plumage giving out its foreign call!
Simon: I have no mind to be brought within the power of the law.
Delia: You that are near in blood to refuse me so small an asking, what chance would I have sending requests to Heaven that is beyond the height of the clouds!
(Weeps.)
