Interesting Accent...

Joseph, who seems to be the housekeeper of Wuthering Heights, apparently speaks in a "north of England dialect" according to the footnotes. I'm sure you can understand how hopelessly confused I was at seeing "Whet are ye for?" and "T' maister's dan i' t' fowld. Goa rahnd by th' end ut' laith, if yah went tuh spake tull him," after all the eloquent prose written by Bronte. However, I decided that Bronte did a great job giving an accurate characterization for Joseph. Interestingly, the aformentioned dialogue translates (in regular English!) to "What are you for?" (meaning something along the lines of "What do you want?") and "The master's down in the [sheep] fold. Go round the end of the barn ["laith"] if you want to speak to him."
