if only a cabbage head"

When a person calls another and gets the reply "I'm just going" she says -
"Just going like the Priests girl," especially if the person she calls is slow about responding.
When speaking of a person who is sweet-tempered, but not sincere, they say "she's too sweet to be wholesome".
When alluding to the ill-effects of bad company they say "Every colour takes black, black takes no colour"
When a person is too ready to discard anything before she is sure of something better, they say "never throw away dirty water until you are sure of clean"
In answer to the question are you all here? they sometimes say :- "All together like Brownes cows".
