Mr. S. Yes; I have offered £50 for it.
Ruth. Gi’ us the money.
Mr. S. Why?
Ruth. I’ve got the paper.
Mr. S. How? How did you get it?
Ruth. No odds how. I’ve got it.
Mr. S. Give it to me, and you shall be paid.
Ruth. Nay, I must ha’ the brass first.
Mr. S. As soon as I’ve verified it you shall be paid.
Ruth. Maybe you’ll take some time over it. I must ha’ the brass.
