Hazel: Who is asking you to die?
Mineog: Giving no time hardly for the priest to overtake me and to give me the rites of the Church!
Hazel: I tell you there is no danger of you giving up at all! Every person knows there must some sickness come before death. Some take it from a neighbour and it is put on others by God.
Mineog: Even so, it's hard say.
Hazel: You have not a ha'p'orth on you. No complaint in the world wide.
Mineog: That's nothing! Sickness comes upon some as sudden as to clap their hands.
Hazel: What are you talking about? You are thinking us to be in the days of the cholera yet!
Mineog: There are yet other diseases besides that.
Hazel: You put the measles over you and we going the road to school.
Mineog: There is more than measles has power bring a man down.
