Charlie was the most bashful lad in the village. Naturally the family were astonished when he told them one evening he was going courting. After spending over half an hour getting ready, he set out. Half an hour later he returned, looking very pleased with himself. “You’re back soon,” said his mother. “How did you get on?” “All right,” replied Charlie, with a grin. “Did you see her?” “Ay, I did an’ all. An’ if Oi ’adn’t ducked down behind the ’edge, she’d ’ave seen Oi, too.”
