 Context examples 

That won't harm ye, my pretty; an' it may make poor Geordie gladsome to have so trim a lass sittin' on his lap. That won't hurt ye.

(Dracula, by Bram Stoker)

As she told me she tapped playfully with the heel of her boot on the stone slab and said:—"My poor little feet didn't make much noise then! I daresay poor old Mr. Swales would have told me that it was because I didn't want to wake up Geordie."

(Dracula, by Bram Stoker)

Now isn't that stean at any rate—he hammered it with his stick as he spoke—a pack of lies? and won't it make Gabriel keckle when Geordie comes pantin' up the grees with the tombstean balanced on his hump, and asks it to be took as evidence!"

(Dracula, by Bram Stoker)
