“Her accent's funny, different from mine, different from anyone in Prentisstown's. Her lips make different kinds of outlines for the letters, like they're swooping down on them from above, pushing them into shape, telling them what to say. In Prentisstown, everyone talks like they're sneaking up on their words, ready to club them from behind.”
― The Knife of Never Letting Go

“Tha didn't mek it, did tha, luv,
Our gowden weddin' day.
Wi tried so hard to keep thi,
But tha quietly slipped away.
It's fifty years ago to-day
Sin' ah become thi bride,
Ah'd give everythin' in t'world, mi luv,
To have thi by mi side.
But there, it seems 'twere noan fer t'be
But ah seems to hear thi say,
"Durn't fret, mi lass, just carry on,
We'll meet agen some day.”
― Poems in the Lancashire Dialect
