    (continued from previous page)
    happened at that time they had the apples nearly divided. When they came to the gate they stood to listen. One boy was giving the other his share and they were taking them in two's so he said two to me and two to you, two to me and two to you, two to me and you can have the two at the gate.
    When the rector and his man heard about the two at the gate they thought it high time to shank it so as go bráth with them and it was some time before any of the two were got there at night.
