Excerpt from Richard Escott

Nay, he said, filling the word with kindly apol ogy, I'm none for carping 't's ill work to natter at a man who is bringing out the best that's in him. But give us your best, may-be the story-books do good to them as won't read others, and I'm none for saying you can't teach people lessons there and give them good advice, - if so be that they don't miss it all and go on with the story.
