B. Gough. “ Tiia wants to be a public speyker dos’ tba lad ? An tha thinks a wot the chep to put tha up to a wrinkle about it? ihas reigbt, 1 hwui. Now, hark tha I When tha rises to make thy speech, hit taable, and oppeu thy raa-rth. If nowt comes, talc’ a sup o’ walher, au’ hit table again. Then oppeu thy mawth wider than afoor. Then, if nowt comes, talc’ thysen oft’, and leave public spcykin to such as me.”
