(Mrs Howells) {Looks up from the newspaper, at which, from now on, she frequently glances between her remarks.}
(1, 0) 487 I don't know why he should have such looks on Richards's opinion; but he's always asking your father's advice, isn't he, Jinnie fach?
(Jinnie) Always, indeed!
 
(Mrs Evans) Well, indeed, now, say what you like; there's nothing nicer than broad beans and a bit of bacon.
(1, 0) 491 Of course, they've made Richards a deacon in Horeb.
(1, 0) 492 That's one thing─

(Mrs Howells) Oh! he's eating his allowance pretty hearty, thank you, Mrs. Richards.
(1, 0) 511 I feel I ought to tell you, Mrs. Howells, how sorry I am about what happened in Horeb.
(1, 0) 512 I've said all along it was such an awful pity.
(1, 0) 513 Our Jinnie here will tell you the same─
(Mrs Howells) I'm sure she will, Mrs. Richards.
 
(Mrs Howells) I'm sure she will, Mrs. Richards.
(1, 0) 515 But Richards's conscience wouldn't let him rest.
 
(1, 0) 517 And he'd not long been made a deacon.
(Mrs Howells) Every new broom sweeps clean, as we all know.

(1, 0) 519 And, of course, it was such a disgrace on the chapel.
(Mrs Howells) Well, I wouldn't like to be the one to say so, Mrs. Richards; but you ought to know your own husband best─
 
(1, 0) 523 I am referring, Mrs. Howells, to your husband being brought home in a barrow on a Saturday night.
(Mrs Howells) {With mock humility.}
 
(Mrs Evans) Hers it is.
(1, 0) 544 So she's started baking then, Mrs. Evans?
(Mrs Evans) Yes.
 
(Mrs Price) Handy kind of wife, I must say, making bread and not putting her mark!
(1, 0) 556 You can't feed a man on bonnets, Mrs. Price.
(Mrs Jones) Well, only beginning she is, I suppose.

(1, 0) 563 People can be very deceiving, Mrs. Evans.
(Mrs Howells) {Heartily.}

(Maggie) {In doorway.}
 
(Mrs Howells) Yes─her two husbands─
(1, 0) 629 Both of them?
(Mrs Howells) Yes, Yanto and Zachariah.
 
(1, 0) 696 Yes, Mrs. Evans, if there's one thing I do like to see, it's people showing respect for the dead.
