"Aw do," answered Jim.
"And you cross this field" (again pointing to the map) "daily—two or three times a day—going to and coming from your work?"
"Yea," was Jim's reply.
"And in going and coming you have, of course, seen men engaged in boring for coal?"
"Noa aw haven't," said Jim in reply, shaking his head.
"You have not seen men boring for coal in this particular field?" (again pointing out the place on the map).
"Noa!" said Jim, stolidly.
"And yet you live here, and pass and repass this field several times a day!"
