âThy face is a rough as Morvah Downs that was ploughed and never harved (harrowed) they say, but Iâll have thee for all that and fill up with putty all the pock-mark pits and seams; then point them over and make thee as pretty as a new wheelbarrowâ
From an old Christmas play, âDuffy and the Devilâ, found in Traditions and Hearthside Stories of West Cornwall, Second Series, by William Bottrell, 1873.
