nothingk

Slaughter Lane a-wanting to buy the house over my head: folks don't look the color o 'the dough-tub and stare at you as if they wanted to see into your backbone for nothingk.'

Middlemarch George Eliot 1849

` Bulstrode got all his money as he brought into this town by thieving and swindling, '-- I said, ` You don't make me no wiser, Mr. Baldwin: it's set my blood a-creeping to look at him ever sin' here he came into Slaughter Lane a-wanting to buy the house over my head: folks don't look the color o 'the dough-tub and stare at you as if they wanted to see into your backbone for nothingk.'

Middlemarch 1871

"When a man's been 'ticed to a lone house, and there's them can pay for hospitals and nurses for half the country-side choose to be sitters-up night and day, and nobody to come near but a doctor as is known to stick at nothingk, and as poor as he can hang together, and after that so flush o 'money as he can pay off Mr. Byles the butcher as his bill has been running on for the best o' joints since last Michaelmas was a twelvemonth -- I don't want anybody to come and tell me as there's been more going on nor the Prayer-book's got a service for -- I don't want to stand winking and blinking and thinking."
