Cockney:
It is a truff universally acknowledged, right, that a singgle man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a ole lady. However wee known the bloomin' feelings or views of such a man may be on 'is first enterin' a neighbourhood, right, this truff is so well fixed in the chuffin' minds of the surroundin' families, right, that 'e is considered as the rightful property of some one or uvver of their daughters. "Me dear Guvnor Bennet," said 'is lady ter him one day, right, "have yer 'eard that Nefferfield Park is let at last?" Guvnor Bennet replied that 'e 'ad not. "But it is," returned she; "for Mrs. Long 'as just been 'ere, and she told me all about it." Guvnor Bennet made no answer. "Do not yer want ter know 'oo 'as taken it?" cried 'is ole lady impatiently. "Yer want ter tell me, right, and I 'ave no objection ter hearin' it." This were invitation enough. "Why, my dear, yer must know, Mrs. Long says that Nefferfield is taken by a yung man of large fortune from the norff of England; that 'e came dahn on Monday in a chaise and four ter see the place, and were so much delighted wiv it that 'e agreed wiv Guvnor Morris immediately; that 'e is ter take possession before Michaelmas, right, and some of 'is servants are ter be in the house by the end of next week."
