'How it is [it seems], ma'am.’ resumed Stephen, seeming still to find safety in Louisa’s face, ‘that what is best in us fok, seems to lead to trouble and misfortune and mistake, I don't know. But it is so. I know it is, as I know the heavens are over me through the smoke. We’re patient too, and want in general to do right. And I can think the fawt is with us.’
I don't know what "fawt" is, but I did the rest.
Anything else?
