Hello All, I need some help about the variety of English and the rewriting into Standard English about the following:
Please help.:-))) Thanks.
--Master Maloney eyed the cat, as if he were seeing it for the first
time.
”It’s a kitty what I got in de street,” he said.
”Don’t hurt the poor brute. Put her down.”
Master Maloney obediently dropped the cat, which sprang nimbly on
to an upper shelf of the book-case.
”I wasn’t hoitin’ her,” he said, without emotion. ”Dere was two
fellers in de street sickin’ a dawg on to her. An’ I comes up an’
says,’ G’wan! What do youse t’ink you’re doin’, fussin’ de poor
dumb animal?’ An’ one of de guys, he says, ’G’wan! Who do youse
t’ink youse is?’ An’ I says, ’I’m de guy what’s goin’ to swat youse
one on de coco if youse don’t quit fussin’ de poor dumb animal.’ So
wit dat he makes a break at swattin’ me one, but I swats him one,
an’ I swats de odder feller one, an’ den I swats dem bote some
more, an’ I gets de kitty, an’ I brings her in here, cos I t’inks
maybe youse’ll look after her.”
