Transcriber's Note
The Cover Image has been modified from its original to include the title
of the book and the author's name. Please note that the original cover image had no
text. This modified cover is placed in the public domain.
Corrections from the list of ERRATA on page 299 have been incorporated
in the text.
Obvious typographical errors were corrected, as listed below. Other
apparent inconsistencies or errors, including different or missing entries in the
Table of Contents, have been retained. Missing punctuation has been
restored and hyphenation has been made consistent. Period spellings and
grammatical uses have been kept.
Page 4, "dinnner" changed to "dinner". (Now you needn't eat any bread
and cheese, as dinner will be ready soon.)
Page 4, 24 and 25, "seive" changed to "sieve" for consistency. (Duffy
seated, carding and making rolls of wool, which were placed in a cayer
(winnowing sieve.))
Page 8, "Joan" changed to "Jone" for consistency. ("Jone, take up the
pie, if its ready or raw. I'm as hungry as a hound.")
Page 21, "ftom" changed to "from". (Madam watched her good man spurring
his Dobbin till he was clear of Trove town-place, then down she ran to
Mill and told old Betty that unless she got a speedy release from her
irksome task she would drown herself in the mill-pool.)
Page 26, "its" changed to "it's" twice. ("Though it's comforting to have
companions in affliction," said she, after a pull at the flaggon, "yet
from the regard I have for your honour and mistress there, I have spoke
of my ailment to warn 'e that as sure as I sit here with a broken
twadling-string it will soon be the same with my lady there, if it's
true, what I do hear, that you keep her to spin from morn till night
most every day of the year.)
Page 33, "ninteen" changed to "nineteen". (The legend that the
(originally) nineteen posts were damsels ...)
Page 35, "of of" changed to "of". (... would sooner or later overtake
the sacrilegious destroyer of the ancient holy stones.)
