KennyHass Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Hi, I'm preparing to run campaign A Time To Harvest and I'm strucked on a dialogs at the column "Folklore Interviews" (EP1 page 46-47). I'm not native on English so I didn't understand how to read this dialog. Is anyone can help me interpret these, please? “You heard o’ old woman Bellweather? Ah wouldn’t go messin’ with her if ah were ya! A couple o’ years back mah boy trew some rocks at ‘er ‘ouse. Ya know ‘ow boys are. Well, that spring, one o’ mah calves was born wit two ‘eads an they mewled like cats. Ah ‘ad ta put da evil thing down so’s we could sleep at night. Ah ‘eard dat woman can sour milk ‘n wilt crops wit a glance. Most devilish ah all. The way ah ‘eard it, she was married to a fella who didn’t care none much bout ‘is vows, if ya git mah meanin’. She caught ‘im wit anotha woman and took ‘is manhood away with ‘er magic. Hehehehe, smooth as a babes bottom ‘e was. Word is, ‘e made it ta Brattleboro, afore’ ‘e couldn’t take it nah more an killt hiself.” “I ‘ear the Braithwaite girl went missing again, but she is prone to wander off... Not right in the ‘ead you know? But still that mother and father of ‘er’s should take better care of the poor touched thing. Eighteen years old but with the mind of a babe, who knows what might ‘appen to ‘er, wandering the roads and the woods in the middle o’ the night?” Link to comment
soltakss Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 “Have you heard of old woman Bellweather? I wouldn’t go messing with her if I were you! A couple of years back my boy threw some rocks at her house. You know how boys are. Well, that spring, one of my calves was born with two heads and they miaowed like cats. I had to put the evil thing down so we could sleep at night. I heard that woman can sour milk and wilt crops with a glance. Most devilish and all. The way I heard it, she was married to a man who didn’t care a lot about his vows, if you understand me. She caught him with another woman and took his manhood away with her magic. Ha, ha, ha, ha, smooth as a baby's bottom he was. Word is, he made it to Brattleboro, before he couldn’t take it any more and killed himself.” “I hear the Braithwaite girl went missing again, but she is prone to wander off... Not right in the head you know? But still her mother and father should take better care of the poor touched thing. Eighteen years old but with the mind of a babe, who knows what might happen to her, wandering the roads and the woods in the middle of the night?” I hope that helps. Or, Ah 'ope tha'ssa guddun. 1 Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982. Many Systems, One Family. Just a fanboy. www.soltakss.com/index.html Jonstown Compendium author.
