Wouldn't (moderated) Yorkshire dialect be 'I want a word wi' thee'?

I can deny it no longer! The control exerted by the outsized headgear of the Downs is indeed malign and diabolic! Behold how I am unable to keep my upper lip decently shaven, how my complexion has faded to the wraith-like grey of an Edwardian photograph, and how I can no longer take account of ninety years' development in men's fashion! Curse you, Hat-wights, for making me this way!

You can never get rid of them, you know. They get under your skin in a way, so that to cast them aside seems a great task. Eventually you come to love them, and to share them seems a kindness. Soon you too will join us.
