"There's nowt much to tell. After tha' were hit aw caught thee i' my arms just as tha were falling like a felled bullock. Gow! what a weight tha are, to be sure, Ben. Then aw dragged thee to one side. Tha' were bleeding like a pig, but Soldier Jack were wi' thee i' no time. See yo' where he cut away thi' vest an' shirt. Then he put his finger i' th' hole where th' bullet is, an' didn't ta' groan. But he could feel nowt, so he bun thi up wi' th' tail o' thi shirt an' a handkerchief. But theer tha' lay like a log, and what to do wi' thee wer' th' puzzle. Aw' looked under a shed i' th' mill yard to see if ther' wer' owt we could hug thee on; but there wer' nowt. T'others were runnin' off i' all directions. Some were crying out to 'em to run, some wer' orderin' 'em to stop. George wer' like one off his yed. Aw see'd him jump on to th' sill o' th' lower window an' grasp a frame wi jagged glass all around an' shake it an' gnash his teeth at those in th' mill. But someone dragged him dahn. An' all th' while that damned bell wer' clanging like all that. Then som'dy cried out at th' sojers wer' comin', an' aw thowt missen aw heerd th' gallopin' o' horses' hoofs; but aw winnot be sure. Aw grabbed hold o' Mellor an' telled him tha wer' hit." 'Cannot yo' see to him?' he said. 'Siah an' me'll see to Ben,' said Soldier Jack, who wer' knelt down bi thi side. 'Thee see to thissen, George.' So George just gave a look at thi an' gay' a groan an' threw up his hands, an' shook his fist as th' guns kept popping fra' th' mill in a way 'at made me duck mi head every half second, an' off he skeltered after t' others." "And what of John Booth. I hope no harm's come to th' lad." "Oh! nivver thee mind about Booth. He's noan o' kin to thee at aw know on." "But did he get safe away, 'Si? Did he go with George?" "Aw'm noan his keeper, am I? Hannot aw enuff to do wi' thee o' mi hands wi'out John Booth? Go to sleep wi' thee, th'rt talking too much." "Yo're hiding summot, 'Si. Na tell me, an' then aw'll be quiet." "Well, there's nowt much to tell. Booth wer' hit, that's all aw know. Aw seed him liggin' on th' ground, an' he' wer' bleeding i' th' leg. But Soldier 'll see to him." "Soldier?" "Aye, he said' tha wouldn't be easy if tha thowt John wer' left, so after we'd tugged an' tewed an' hustled thee here, an' sich a huggin' an' a tewin' an' a hustlin' aw nivver had i' mi life afore, what wi' thee keep on swounding every fifty yards o' so, Jack first o' all went back an' gate some brandy. Aw dunnot know wheer he sammed it up, but Jack knows his way about, an' no mistake. We should ha' been fair done but for Jack. Then he said he'd hark back an' see what could be done for Booth; but he shouldn't come back here till neet, an' then we'd see what could be done about movin' thee. An' we wer to ca'er here till he come back. Naa, that's all aw know, except aw wish aw wer' a caa." I was feeling very drowsy now and just remember murmuring: "A caa; what for, 'Si?"
