hows this for an even nicer account....

"It's half a year yesterday since I first went into the pit. I trapped at first but not long. I have to hurry now with another boy. We hurry both full and empty corves. It's hard work when we'veup hill to hurry and there's a good deal of up hill. I'm tired when I have to work late. There is one fills and we two have to hurry during the day. We've no time to stop. I'd rather be at the pit than at school. I like being in the pit. Sometimes they thump us. When they call us, we call them again and they clout us. The fillers tell us to call them. Sometimes fillers clout us and hurts us a good deal. Sometimes they put candels in our mouths or make us drink oil when they want to swap with us for us to fill and them to hurry and we wont. I go into the pit at five in the morning and come out at six at night. I cant read nor write. I havent been much to school, only on Sundays. I go to church. I dont know who Jesus Christ was. I've never been told. I dont know where I shall go when I die if I'm a bad boy ( ... )
