Excerpt from Surly Tim: And Other Stories
"Sorry to hear my fellow-workmen speak so disparagin" o" me? Well, Mester, that"s as it may be yo" know. Happen my fellow-workmen ha" made a bit o" a mistake - happen what seems loike crustiness to them beant so much crustiness as summat else - happen I mought do my bit o" complainin" too. Yo" munnot trust aw yo" hear, Mester; that"s aw I can say."
I looked at the man"s bent face quite curiously, and, judging from its rather heavy but still not unprepossessing outline, I could not really call it a bad face, or even a sulky one. And yet both managers and hands had given me a bad account of Tim Hibblethwaite. "Surly Tim," they called him, and each had something to say about his sullen disposition to silence, and his short answers.
