The Village Wizard

Llinellau gan Josiah (Cyfanswm: 71)

 
(1, 0) 28 Merlin!
 
(1, 0) 32 I pay you to work, and not to waste your time in folly and profanity.
 
(1, 0) 42 Hush! Merlin.
(1, 0) 43 Suppose anyone should hear you?
(1, 0) 44 They might think it was me.
(1, 0) 45 Remember the respectability of the establishment, if you please.
 
(1, 0) 50 It was most unseemly.
 
(1, 0) 54 Poor Jonathan! he was over-fond of his glass.
 
(1, 0) 59 I do, very well─it was good enough to be put into the ground to rot.
 
(1, 0) 61 Not shameful, Merlin─it was business.
 
(1, 0) 65 Staggering home, Merlin.
 
(1, 0) 69 'Sh! it was a cold night, and I took a little wine, as Paul commands, for the stomach's sake.
(1, 0) 70 I am not accustomed to strong drinks, and it upset me.
 
(1, 0) 73 No, it didn't.
 
(1, 0) 86 My poor wife!
(1, 0) 87 She was, indeed, an angel─
 
(1, 0) 90 Surely, you didn't say that?
(1, 0) 91 It might have been one of the deacons.
 
(1, 0) 106 Man is never alone, my young friend─the All-seeing Eye follows him everywhere.
(1, 0) 107 I hope you are well, Mr. Morgans, and that you find business flourishing?
 
(1, 0) 111 It is the way of some people to set their failures down to the evil ways of others, and not to their own shortcomings.
 
(1, 0) 113 Nothing personal, Mr. Morgans.
 
(1, 0) 118 If you 'ould work as well as you do talk, you 'ould get on better.
(1, 0) 119 You ought to be in the ministry, telling people what to do, and not bothering to do it yourself.
 
(1, 0) 133 Anne, my girl, you had better go in.
(1, 0) 134 You come here a great deal too much for your good; and I am afraid Merlin encourages you.
 
(1, 0) 136 Temper─temper, Merlin!
(1, 0) 137 I don't want you to leave me.
 
(1, 0) 141 Merlin! you ought to know better than to say such a thing─before my daughter, too.
 
(1, 0) 155 Nan!─come here.
 
(1, 0) 160 Don't put such silly notions in the girl's head.
(1, 0) 161 My brother-in-law is a bit of a poet, Mr. Morgans, and we must make allowance for his foolish talk.
 
(1, 0) 180 You have learnt a lot of nonsense at school, Anne Jones.
 
(1, 0) 190 No beer, Nan─mind!
 
(1, 0) 196 Indeed, it is hard to put up with Merlin, sometimes.
(1, 0) 197 But I have got a soft heart, Mr. Morgans, and he is very fond of my daughter; and she is so foolish about him.
(1, 0) 198 That is how it is─you understand?
 
(1, 0) 201 Yes─yes─and you can't go against the public feeling.
(1, 0) 202 You must go with the times.
(1, 0) 203 That is my motto─"Go with the times."
(1, 0) 204 But we mustn't dwell upon these little weaknesses.
(1, 0) 205 You understand?
(1, 0) 206 Tell me, how is business with you, my young friend?
(1, 0) 207 Bad, as usual, I suppose?
 
(1, 0) 209 Turn your money, did you, with the new moon?
 
(1, 0) 211 No offence, Mr. Morgans.
(1, 0) 212 I am glad to hear you say about your luck.
(1, 0) 213 May I ask you the nature of it?
 
(1, 0) 217 I hope it is not the place I am after.
(1, 0) 218 It will grieve me very much if it is.
 
(1, 0) 223 You tell me where is yours, and I will tell you where is mine.
(1, 0) 224 I give you first chance, Mr. Morgans.
 
(1, 0) 227 Dear me, that is very unlucky.
(1, 0) 228 I am afraid we are after the same place.
 
(1, 0) 231 Come you, don't be downhearted.
(1, 0) 232 If you want it very bad, give me £50, and I'll leave it to you.
 
(1, 0) 235 Ah, my young friend, you don't understand business.
(1, 0) 236 But I don't want to be hard on you.
(1, 0) 237 I will lend you the £50.
(1, 0) 238 A hundred if you like.
(1, 0) 239 The house is good security.
 
(1, 0) 242 These are bad times, Mr. Morgans, and money is hard to get.
(1, 0) 243 Shall we say 6 per cent?
 
(1, 0) 248 "Miss Jones," my young friend, for the present.
 
(1, 0) 251 That is twice you have done the same thing in less than a minute.
(1, 0) 252 You are very forgetful, Mr. Morgans, and a good memory a business man is bound to have, if he is going to climb the ladder to the top.
 
(1, 0) 256 But it is a matter of business, and I tell you now what I told you before─
(1, 0) 257 When you can make £50 in five minutes, the same as I have done, you can ask me for my daughter, and I won't say "No."
 
(1, 0) 259 Not another word, if you please.
(1, 0) 260 I must go to the Bank before it do close, to get the money for you.
(1, 0) 261 Take my advice, and don't go to the wall as long as you can borrow £100 from a friend, at 6 per cent!
