... and all, and then he sat up on the bank and his hat dripped down on his blue coat and ran down his back. ‘Tha’s good,’ he said. ‘Yo drink some, George. You take a good big drink. He smiled happily” (3).

Nobody like him had ever been in the ward before. He came in singing and laughing, something that no one had heard in a long time.
