Loyalty.

A Durham collier recently took unto himself a wife whose friends had done their utmost to dissuade her from marrying, but without success. Meeting her one day some months after her marriage, a friend remarked: “Hello, Bess! Yer look right bad! Has ’e been a-thumping yer? 1 knowed what it would be, but yer would have ’lm. Everybody said Bob ’ud mak’ a fltball of yer!” “Then everybody was wrong!” snapped the ill used wife. “We’ve been married this eight months, and I ain’t a-going to say we had no little shindies, but to give our Bob ’is due I will say as ’e ain’t had to use ’is foot yet So there!”—Exchange.
