I hope not, said _Trim_. --You hope not! cried _Susannah_ earnestly. --The mourning ran not in _Trim's_ head, whatever it did in _Susannah's_. --I hope--said _Trim_, explaining himself, I hope in God the news is not true. --I heard the letter read with my own ears, answered _Obadiah_; and we shall have a terrible piece of work of it in stubbing the Ox-moor. --Oh! he's dead, said _Susannah_. --As sure, said the scullion, as I'm alive.

'I hope that the news is not true,' said Trim.
'I heard the letter read with my own ears,' answered Obadiah.
'Oh! he's dead,' said Susannah.
'As sure,' said the scullery-maid, 'as I'm alive.'
