"Is there ony country where they talk i' that way?" asked the old
woman, looking up from her knitting.
"Yes, Hannah -- a far larger country than England, where they talk
in no other way."
"Well, for sure case, I knawn't how they can understand t' one
t'other: and if either o' ye went there, ye could tell what they
said, I guess?"
"We could probably tell something of what they said, but not all --
for we are not as clever as you think us, Hannah. We don't speak
German, and we cannot read it without a dictionary to help us."
